raj2569on Soviet Children’s Books That Broke the Rules of Propaganda

Same here, raised on a diet of Soviet books in Kerala, India. Misha was a favorite of mine. Still remember the publisher's names, Mir and Raduga publishers. There are other books like Firebird, some nice books about night sky and recreational mathematics ...

I really miss those books and wonder if some copies could be found for my daughter who is now of the same age when I used to read these books.
