And I understand that there is a new translation of the LXX in 
progress - into Russian.

My one-volume Rahlfs LXX is published by the Greek Bible Society in 
Athens as well as the German Bible Society in Stuttgart (1979), with a 
brief preface in modern Greek from the Greek Bible Society as well as 
a Greek translation of Rahlfs' own Editor's Preface.

Dear friends,
Does anybody know which edition of LXX is accepted by Greek Orthodox Church 
as their official Bible? (I guess it is not the famous Ralfs edition.) And 
how can I get it? Any ideas?

p.s. The Slavonic bible, which was  recently reprinted by Russian Bible 
Society, presents a quite literal translation of LXX.
