Hello all SEElangers! This is my post to the list, so please bare with me if I've already made a mistake. 

I recently read a review of Ilona Yazhbin Chavasse's translation of the Yuri Rytkheu's "The Chukchi Bible" in the New York Review of Books. After some Google exercises, I believe that the original Russian title of the work is "Poslednyy shaman," but I'm not sure about that. I live in Alaska and can practically see Chukotka from my house, so a Chukchi epic sounds like a great read. I'd like to read it in the original, but I can't seem to find the Russian text available anywhere. 

Does anyone know where I could find a copy in Russian? Preferably without paying an arm and a leg for shipping, if possible.

You can reply off-list to davidmaparker at gmail.com

Thanks!
