Abstracts. The Ukrainian literary translation differs historically from that of its neighbouring countries due to a long-standing policy of governmental bans and restrictions within the Russian Empire. In spite of this, Borys, Maria and Nastya Hrinchenkos have translated a great number of world-literature writings in the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. A list of translations executed by B. Hrinchenko and his family testifies a well considered programme for modernizing their native literature.

Keywords: language, literature, translation, modernizing, nation building, stylistic richness

Анотація. Український переклад відрізняється від перекладів сусідніх країн через довготривалу політику урядових заборон і обмежень щодо нього в Російській імперії. Попри це, наприкінці 19-го – на початку 20-го століття Борис, Марія та Настя Грінченки переклали чимало творів світової літератури. Список перекладів, виконаних Б. Грінченком та його родиною, свідчить про добре продуману програму модернізації рідної літератури.
