Note though that URSS is a ruthlessly commercial enterprise, and in the absence of any real competition, their printing is frequently bad, covers tasteless, translation and editing passable (which is better than can be said for more generalist Russian publishing houses’ attempts at technical literature) but only just, and prices high. (Before this February, the EUR prices before shipping were about 250% of the already-substantial RUB ones per the official conversion rates; nowadays I don’t know.) If you can at all help it, try the MCCME / IUM press and bookshop[1] first; unfortunately they do not deal in second-hand books (or rather they do, a bit, but people will pick those up in person in a day or two, before anybody even bothers entering them into the online catalogue). Let me also add a recommendation for the calculus problems book by Günther (Gyunter) and Kuzmin (I don’t think it was ever translated, but how much translation do you really need in one?). It will not train you—every idea occurs once or maybe twice; it is not a book of exercises. (The joke goes that Demidovich is G&K with every problem repeated ten times.) But it is a book of problems, and it will teach you. [1] https://biblio.mccme.ru/ https://biblio.mccme.ru/
