Following on from the original English language version and the German translation, a Russian version of the book, entitled Bright Lights Dark Shadows: ABBA - Podlinnaya Istoriya, was published. The text in the book is a straight translation, and includes all the pictures in the English and German versions. However, although the Russian book includes the discography, it omits the acknowledgements and the index.
