Chigrin’s poetry has been translated into Spanish, French, English, Polish, Romanian, Hindi, Arabic, Turkish, Serbian, Macedonian, Czech, Azerbaijani, Belarusian and Ukrainian. The last of the languages is one of the most important in his biography, because the poet was born in the Kirovohrad region of the Ukrainian SSR, but since the end of 1980 he moved to Russia, eventually settling in the Moscow region.
