Seeking: Russian version of "War and Peace" online

January 3, 2005 1:47 AM

ISO a Russian version of "War and Peace" online. Googling is particularly difficult here, since they are common words. Russian title transliterated = "Voyna i Mir".

WOW!

I bow to your Google-Fu. How'd you find that?

Much thanx and appreciation.

I went to Google Russia, searched for 'Tolstoy', and limited scope to pages in Russian. 7th result.

But you need to know about lib.ru.

Also, you can just type the Russian title into the search box, and the first hit is a winner: like so.

You mean: "you need to know about lib.ru" (main page -- you linked to the "classics"). I don't know how Moshkov gets away with it -- Russian copyright laws are obviously less stringently observed than ours -- but you can find just about anything there.
