The article presents an example of a comparative analysis of the Russian translation of a fragment from Firdawsi's Shah-name, performed by M. Lozinsky, with the original poem. The main provisions of M. Lozinsky's theoretical concept are defined, which practically represent the requirements for translation, on their basis a system of criteria for assessing the quality of translation is defined. Guided by them and applying the method of comparative-contrastive analysis, it was concluded that in his translation M. Lozinsky strictly observes strophism, equirhythm, equilinearity, cadence, adjacent rhyme, masculine rhyme and clause, lexical equivalence, style-forming means of the original, the specificity of syntax, its euphony, accurately conveys the figurative and expressive means of language (metaphorical images, epithets, comparisons, etc.). It is indicated that in doing so, the translator repeatedly refers to various types of transformations. But, despite the fact that the representation of the ten-stanza fragment is recognized as meeting the conventional norm, special attention is paid to individual cases of discrepancies between the translation and the original.
