Acknowledgment

We express our great appreciation to

Dorothy Shepard (Alaska, USA)

for her helpful comments, suggestions

and her encouragement.

It is great pleasure to present some extracts from the stories and novels by Sakha writers (Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Russia) in translation from Sakha into English. This is the result of our workshops in the course "Translation from Sakha into English".

We also present the beginning of the "My destiny" by Vassily Dalan (the English version title is "One more secret of Stalin’s Russia").

We are glad to present these extracts in the Sakha Diaspora site.

We would be pleased if you enjoy reading of our "Northern Lights"!

Professor Mikhail Fomin and the students of groups 201, 202 of the Translation Department of the Faculty of Foreign Languages of Yakutsk State University, Yakutsk, Russia.
