Tirukkural translations into Russian
As of 2015, there are at least four translations of the Tirukkural available in Russian.
History
The joint effort of J. J. Glazov and A. Krishnamurthi resulted in the first Russian translation of the Kural text, published in 1963.[1] The English translation of select couplets by C. Rajagopalachari was translated into Russian by D. V. Burba. This contains translation of 555 couplets from the first two divisions (Virtue and Wealth). In 1990, another translation of the complete text was made by Vithali Furniki, a translator in the Centre of Indian Cultural Studies, Moscow.[2][3]

| Vithali Furniki, 1990 | Если вы спросите себя, что такое добродетель и сострадание, то знайте — это неубиение. Убийство же есть отсутствие сострадания, а грех — вкушение мяса. | У кого ясный взор и отсутствуют пороки, тот не станет поедать плоть другого существа, лишенного жизни ради того, чтобы быть съеденным |
