A hardbound copy of Nabokov’s 1923 translation of Alice in Wonderland into Russian, Аня в странe чудес [Ania v strane chudes] (A7.1a), is being auctioned by Аукционный дом 12й стул
[12th Chair Auction House] in Moscow on 19 September. Here’s the link.

The 116-page book, with illustrations by Zalshupin, was published in Berlin by Gamaiun. The offered copy has its blemishes and worn spots, a proprietary stamp on the fly leaf and an owner’s inscription on the title page. The book is extremely rare. The description doesn’t give an estimate, but it should go for at least five figures.
