The Russian edition was particularly successful and became a standard school textbook.

A number of Russian editions have appeared over the years, the most recent in 2001.

The word and the bear image have found their way into the mainstream mass media, such as a poster for the Russian edition of Newsweek.

For a few years, there was also a Russian edition.

The Russian edition not only embraces the title but has a seductive jacket image too.

The Russian edition is expected to have an initial circulation of 50,000, with a goal of about 100,000 in two years.

Beklemishev's original Russian edition continued to be reprinted almost annually well into the 1980s.

Circulation of the Russian edition is 230,000, according to the newspaper.

The Russian edition was launched in 1996 and is published every two months.

The 1967 Russian edition was the first to include all 20 stories.
