Spanish term or phrase: pasar
Hello.
I´d appreciate your help with this term.


Una de las manifestaciones más deplorables de ignorancia política
e histórica con las que es fácil toparse es la creencia de que la
Rusia actual es similar a la antigua Unión Soviética. Semejante planteamiento
no solo constituye un gravísimo error, sino una muestra
lastimosa de que no se ha percibido, ni de lejos, que vivimos en un
mundo que cambia y en el que la gran división ha dejado de pasar a
través de la categoría de las izquierdas y las derechas — Rusia además
es una nación mayoritariamente conservadora — para establecerse
entre globalistas. A este segundo grupo, hasta el momento, pertenece Rusia.

This is my attempt:
One of the most deplorable manifestations of political and historical ignorance that is easy to encounter is the belief that today’s Russia is similar to the former Soviet Union. Such an approach is not only a big mistake, but a pitiful sign that it has not been understood, not by a long shot. We live in a changing world in which the huge separation has ceased to move from the Left to the Right wing arena (Russia is also a mostly conservative nation) to establish herself among globalists. Russia belongs to this second group, so far.


I am not certain my interpretation of "la gran división ha dejado de pasar a través de la categoría de las izquierdas y las derechas" in this context is accurate.
I appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks.

Explanation:
I hope your author explains further, because it's not really clear in this sentence, but I guess this is the intention

agree  philgoddard: Yes, the Spanish is wrong, and I'd be tempted to guess the missing word and slot it into the translation. Also, there should be a comma after "right".
2 hrs

agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: It's a good solution. I don't agree with Phil; the comma isn't necessary.

agree  Marcelo González: Issues with the source text aside, this is a good solution. And I agree with Muriel that the comma isn't necessary.

Explanation:
I like your translation, though I may suggest the following.


Example sentence(s):
  • ... la gran división ha dejado de pasar a través la categoría de las izquierdas y las derechas: Rusia además es una nación mayoritariamente conservadora para establecerse entre globalistas.
  • ... the great divide is longer between left wing and right wing politics. Moreover, Russia is largely conservative with the perspective of becoming established (internationally) among globalists.
