Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments This one is a rather large job so I'd appreciate some help...

Firstly
Мария Семёнова has been translated into Serbian, using Latin characters. This means that ALL of her works now need to have Marija Semjonova as primary author. Her works have also been translated into Polish (Maria Siemionowa) but as there are more Serbian editions on Goodreads, plus the same translation date (that I can see), I think that the Serbian form should be first.
Examples:
Vukodav: Dijamantske gore (Serbian - author + translator)
Самоцветные горы (Russian - author + cover version)
Wilczarz (Polish - author + cover version + translator)

NB The Goodreads author is NOT the same person, so I'm moving everything of the above author that is currently at Marija Semjonova to a new two space profile - the author of Волкодав etc. was born in the 1950s.

Rivka, is it possible for you to swap the Goodreads author and the 2^ profile? The 1950s Russian lady is extremely prolific in comparison to the Latvian academic.

Regarding the Goodreads author, I believe only this work is hers: Atmiņas paēnā: Latvijas un Somijas sieviešu prozas krustpunkti XX gadsimtā

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Second author pair:

Николай Иванович Костомаров
Nikolai Ivanovich Kostomarov
- Primary form

Existing variant spellings - do NOT merge these now!
Nikolaj Ivanovi Kostomarov
Nicolas Kostomarov

All records need
1. Nikolai Ivanovich Kostomarov as Primary author
2. Where the cover varies, that version as second author. You may need to use a workaround to get the second version to stick.

Юрий Кузнецов has been translated into German as Jurij Kusnezow

All the works on the former need the latter as Primary now.
