Abstract

The paper presents an overview of how cross-cultural communication was carried out during the Lend-Lease supplies via the Arctic convoys. Special attention is paid to multilingualism in wartime Arkhangelsk. The paper considers the importance of non-professional translation and cross-cultural mediation during the Arctic convoys. The analysis of fictional literature and archival documents allowed to conclude that memory of cross-cultural mediation during the period of the Lend-Lease deliveries is a universal value that brings countries and peoples together.
