Where could I buy a Russian language textbook about American history?

September 14, 2016 3:53 PM

I'd like to buy a university-style textbook (or another general survey book) on U.S. history written in the Russian language. Basically, I'm looking for the book that a Russian university would use for it's equivalent to History of the United States 101. Thanks!

I don't live near a Russian speaking community, so I would need to buy it online.

So if no one else chimes in with anything online, you may want to contact the Russian Books in Chicago. They have tons of stuff and I've bought a number of things from them. If you speak Russian, they may be able to send it to you. Just in case nobody responds here.

The owner's name is Ilya, I think.

And, if you can't find anything else, if they let you buy it over the phone, I will be happy to pick it up and post it to wherever you are. It isn't far from me and there is a nearby post office.

You can browse this Russian bookshop in London and see if they have anything there.
