The Altai Republic is a remote mountainous region on the confines of Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan. As a way of establishing ties with its inhabitants, Russian voluntary group The Little Prince’s Stars oversaw a translation into Altai and the distribution of 5,000 copies of The Little Prince to children in the Altai Republic. The project was a lengthy undertaking, requiring a full year to complete.
