There is a series, first published in the Soviet Union, that started off in a familiar fashion, but then went in a different direction. In 1939, a new book by Aleksandr Volkov was published in Moscow, ''Волшебник Изумрудного Города'', or ''Volshebnik Izumrudnogo Goroda'' — ''The Wizard of the City of Emeralds''. While purporting to be an original tale, the story of Elli and her dog Totoshka, Strasheela the Scarecrow, the Iron Woodchopper, and the Cowardly Lion was easily recognizable as ''The Wizard of Oz''. The country was not named Oz, however, and was generally referred to as Magic Land. The first edition was illustrated by N. Radlov. In 1959, a revised edition, illustrated by L. Vladimirski, appeared. Both editions acknowledge Baum and ''The Wizard of Oz'' as inspiring the story, but the 1959 edition gave Baum more credit and emphasis. This edition was followed by an original sequel, ''Урфин Джюс и его Деревянные Солдаты'', or ''Urfin Dzhus i yevo Dyerevyannie Soldati'' (''Urfin Dzhus and His Wooden Soldiers'') in 1963. Later additions to the series were ''Семь Подземных Королей'', or ''Syem Pozyemnich Koroly'' (''Seven Underground Kings'', 1969), ''Огненный Бог Марранов'', or ''Ognyennei Bog Marranov'' (''The Fire God of the Maronnes'', 1972), ''желтый Туман'', or ''Zholti Tuman'' (''The Yellow Fog'', 1974), and ''Тайна Заброшенного Замка'', or ''Taina Zabrosynnovo Zamka'' (''The Secret of the Deserted Castle'', serialized in the 1970s and published posthumously as a book in 1982), all illustrated by Vladimirski.

There is a series, first published in the Soviet Union, that started off in a familiar fashion, but then went in a different direction. In 1939, a new book by Aleksandr Volkov was published in Moscow, ''Волшебник Изумрудного Города'', or ''Volshebnik Izumrudnogo Goroda'' — ''The Wizard of the City of Emeralds''. While purporting to be an original tale, the story of Elli and her dog Totoshka, Strasheela the Scarecrow, the Iron Woodchopper, and the Cowardly Lion was easily recognizable as ''The Wizard of Oz''. The country was not named Oz, however, and was generally referred to as Magic Land. The first edition was illustrated by N. Radlov. In 1959, a revised edition, illustrated by L. Vladimirski, appeared. Both editions acknowledge Baum and ''The Wizard of Oz'' as inspiring the story, but the 1959 edition gave Baum more credit and emphasis. This edition was followed by an original sequel, ''Урфин Джюс и его Деревянные Солдаты'', or ''Urfin Dzhus i yevo Dyerevyannie Soldati'' (''Urfin Dzhus and His Wooden Soldiers'') in 1963. Later additions to the series were ''Семь Подземных Королей'', or ''Syem Pozyemnich Koroly'' (''Seven Underground Kings'', 1969), ''Огненный Бог Марранов'', or ''Ognyennei Bog Marranov'' (''The Fire God of the Maronnes'', 1972), ''желтый Туман'', or ''Zholti Tuman'' (''The Yellow Fog'', 1974), and ''Тайна Заброшенного Замка'', or ''Taina Zabrosynnovo Zamka'' (''The Secret of the Deserted Castle'', serialized in the 1970s and published posthumously as a book in 1982), all illustrated by Vladimirski.
