When I was in grade school, the town library had a Soviet encyclopedia, in English.
Why or how it came to be there, I have no idea, and I regret not inquiring about it, and I also regret not spending more time reading it.
- josh_fyi 6y agoThere were deals between the Soviet Union and the United States that each one would place its books in school libraries of the other. The magazine Soviet Life is the best known item placed by this program. Wonder what access Soviet children really had to the American equivalent
- Arech 6y agoHmm... I (was born in 1982 and lived in Moscow) never heard of such deal and American books in libraries...
