Or maybe it's just a world wide conspiracy.
USSR a "closed society"?! Did you take your pills tonite?
We had all kinds of historical literature here, translated from Western sources, and some still unknown to American public. Like "Weltkrieg 1939-45", written by nazi generals, published in West Germany in 1955, translated to Russian and issued here in 1957 by Military Publishing House, something like 100000+ copies.
Go read something. If you'll ask me kindly - I'll probably make a list of books for you, with links at Amazon, but you'll have to answer some questions. I don't want to prepare a list of historical books for a person who didn't read "Tom Sawyer".
