This is not Russian. It is Ukrainian. In fact ...Hi,<br />This is not Russian. It is Ukrainian. In fact the same set of books was published in Russian too. More likely even before this national edition. <br />Here you can find a MS Word copy of all 12 Toms of the Encyclopedia in Russian: http://www.wherefore.ru/detskaya-enciklopediya/detskaya-enciklopediya-izdatelstvo-prosveshenie-1965-god.html . Look for links called Tom 1, Tom 2 etc. These are direct links to zip files with lots of separate MS Word files for chapters. I believe all illustrations are preserved including all my favorite color inserts.<br /><br />I was lucky to have one when I was a child. It was passed over to me from my cousin. After me it returned back to him for his daughter. The books are indeed of a a very high standard with regard to information. They are not "Something for Dummies" type of thing.
