From my childhood I remember we had The Lives Of Remarkable People collection. Was available pretty much in any library. It's Russian-language Soviet series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lives_of_Remarkable_People https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lives_of_Remarkable_People - those were pretty interesting read. I haven't read all of them, but I still remember the feeling after reading those few I had a chance to read.
