Mentioned works are translated and published also in French (translator Maria Malanchuk). And the Spanish publishing house «Acantilado» published in Spanish the book of essays of Yuri Andrukhovych «Last territory», and also «My Europe», written along with the Polish writer Andrzej Stasiuk. By the way «My Europe» became the real locomotive of Andrukhovych to the European market. The book is translated to Polish, Ukrainian, Romanian, Hungarian, German, French and Spanish languages. The Spanish translations of two books of Yuri Andrukhovych – novels «Recreations» and «Twelve rings» were published in 2007.

In Hungary, publishing house «Racio» printed his book of essays «Shevchenko is OK» (11 essays written in different years between 1993 and 2002) and publishing house «Kiyarat» published mentioned above «My Europe». Both books were translated by Gabor Korner who already started to work on the next translation – novel «The Moscoviad». The Polish publishing house «Buro Literackie» (Wroclaw) printed the newest book of poems of Andruhovych «Songs for the Dead Rooster». Poems were translated by Bohdan Zadura.
