The article is devoted to specific features of perceiving translations of
Russian literature in various cultural and historical contexts of Spain from the late
19th century to the 2020s. Special attention is paid to the influence of the works of
L. Tolstoy, I. Turgenev, F. Dostoevsky and a number of Soviet writers on the Spanish
culture and spiritual life of the society. In addition, the perception of works by Russian
writers of the second half of the 20th century in post-Francoist Spain are considered.

The article is devoted to the study of two works created by the outstanding Spanish philosopher and writer M. de Unamuno in 1920-1922. Based on Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet, a poem (1920) and an article (1922) with the same title Repose is Silence were written. Their name is interpreted by Spanish researchers as a curious translation error of Hamlet's last words: "The rest is silence". The considered works are vivid examples of meta-translation reflecting the conceptual image of the artist's world. The study and reconstruction of the context of the creation of two texts and the analysis of their ideological and artistic content allow not only to get closer to understanding the peculiarities of the linguistic consciousness of the Spanish philosopher and poet, but also to understand the huge potential of meta-translation as the realization of Bakhtin's idea of the life of great works in the 'big time' of culture. These Unamuno meta-translations embody two artistic methods of mastering Shakespeare's spiritual experience and at the same time are the result of Unamuno's understanding of the Spanish (and wider European) reality of the turning point.
