The Indonesian Embassy in Moscow launched the Russian edition of The 10 New Bali on November 15, 2021. The launch event which was held at the Marriott Aurora Hotel, Moscow, Russia also specially presented Oksana Fedorova, a celebrity and Miss Universe 2002 from Russia. Oksana expressed her joy at the honor given to her for being the first Russian citizen in Moscow who directly received the Russian edition of The 10 New Bali from Indonesian Ambassador to the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, Jose Tavares. According to Ambassador Tavares, the launch of the book, The 10 New Bali which has been translated into Russian is an effort to bring Indonesia closer to the Russian people, considering that so far, the Russian people have been more familiar with Bali.
