Hi

Found a site where somebody from India has uploaded a LOT of mathematics and science books which were published in Soviet Union.
These are all in English...Publishers are Mir, Raduga etc.
http://mirtitles.org/

All the publishers there no longer operate in Russia, so there is no copyright claim on the books...These soviet books were
very popular in India in old days...

Thanks for the link, we will have to investigate the copyright issues to confirm the status of these but what you say is consistent with my memory of the situation (but things do change).
