Are there any news on the Lissandra story that appeared on the Russian server?
Some time ago passed and nothing has appeared... Was is just exclusive for there or is it canceled? or?

Hi, they were actually released a while back. It was apparently a Russian only event and each chapter was revealed when a quest was complete. Oh also, since it was only a Russian event, the chapters are of course Russian and there is no official English translation yet, so the wiki's translation has a few mistakes.
A rioter will confirm or not but I do believe that even if a story is being written or done, it doesn't mean it will even come out during the same year. Riot release their stories according to some sort of planification if I am not mistaken. Let's say Lissandra stories talk a bit about the war among the three sisters and the void, Riot won't release it until a specific comic is out or when they also want to kinda tease a new champion that is a voidborn one.
Also it is very possible they scrapped stories because even if they finally kinda settled their lore goal, they keep retconing some part of it/trying to find a way for some archetype like the darkin to coexist/be logical in this world (think about how Kayle/Morgana became connected with targons WHILE being themselves and their own stories). So maybe a story isn't "good" anymore for the lore.
Aint easy to be a writer and be a lore fan, because it isn't a high priority (and fans don't hype much this kind of content alas) and therefore there is delay /need to harmonize with the events, champs release, etc.
Wait, there was a Russian Lissandra story?
A Russian guy who was translating the chapters on a Discord server(I think his tranlations were put in the wiki) sent this translation:
The purpose of the event is to collect all the pages of the new “Universe” story about Lissandra. Each page is rewarded with a reward, which traditionally can be given to a friend. Active RU-server players, who will collect the story entirely, will be able not only to read it first, but will also be able to determine the ending of the story that League of Legends players from all over the world will later see.
And later said(he didnt mention the source) that the story should be released after June 10th(the day the event ended)but it's been 11 days and he himself said he doesnt knows when it will be released anymore. So the story inst supposed to be exclusive for them, but either something went wrong or the delay will be huge. Maybe they started the translation after the event ended so it's not ready yet? Hope we get to see it soon enough.
Russian twitter said "soon"..
