The presentation was attended by representatives of the Buryat Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church, the regional government, and other governmental, academic, and cultural figures, reports the Institute for Bible Translation.

A dedicated team worked on the translation for more than 33 years. The Buryat Bible is now the 10th complete translation of the Bible into a language spoken in Russia.

During the presentation, 240 copies of the Bible in the Buryat language were donated to the collections of the Scientific Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, scientific libraries of higher educational institutions, and municipal libraries of the Republic of Buryatia.

As of 2020, there were 440,000 native Buryat speakers, mostly living in the Republic of Buryatia, along the northern border of Mongolia. Burya is itself a Mongolic language.

The new edition is available in PDF from the Institute for Bible Translation.
