Dear SMutanen,

Evgeny Onegin is a famous character created by Pushkin in the book of the same name. No offence intended, just correcting the facts...

What is there to gain Jan 9, 2007

What I wonder here is that have these rascals actually managed to sell these translations to an end-customer, because that would be the only way to make money out of this scam?

Is this linked to industrial espionage or do they have a (semi-)legitimate agency that they use for correspondence with the end-customers?
