My small-town public library growing up had a great resource that I did not appreciate at the time: an English translation of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia[0].
I really wish I had spent time with it. If nothing else it would have given me some questions to ask my history teachers.
Anna has it in her archive
Where is the Josun Encyclopedia? I would like to read it. Thanks
Can't find an ISBN for it but Anna tells me she has something similar 1-56591-070-2
Wow! I would have been absolutely fascinated by this when I was a kid.
I remember once wandering around my college library and finding the book “The Soviet Economy Through the Year 2000.” This occurred during the current millennium.
My grandpa had the full 50-volume edition of the encyclopedia published in the 1950s. I spent a lot of time digging through it in my pre-teen years.
