In the 1930's, Russian author Alexander Volkov was looking for an English book to translate into Russian as a hobby. He chose Creator/LFrankBaum's ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'' as his book. He brought out his rather liberal translation of the story in 1939 (the same year Creator/{{MGM}} released [[Film/TheWizardOfOz their film]]). He called it ''The Wizard of the Emerald City'', and the country where the story is set became not Oz, but ''Magic Land''. The Soviet Union was not part of international copyright protection back then, so it was perfectly legal. Modern Russia is, but InNameOnly, by the way.

* NamedByTheAdaptation: Almost every character who was only [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep known by their occupation]] in ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'' has an actual name here, such as Faramant (the Guardian of the Gates), Din Gior (the Soldier with the Green Whiskers), Ramina (the Queen of the Field Mice), and all four witches.
