As an aside, I shall try to get permission from International Publishers (the publishing arm of the CPUSA, I've scanned a bunch of books from them already on early US history with their permission) to scan The Populist Movement in the United States (from 1943) and Gene Debs: the Story of a Fighting American (from 1948) if possible. If that goes well then hooray I'll scan them.

I figure a few people would find this interesting.

Lawrence & Wishart (which used to be the publishing house of the CPGB before that party died) forced Marxists dot org to take down Marx and Engels' Collected Works, so yeah if I put a book online it'd be nice if it wasn't taken down and complaints made that I violated copyright.

I dunno about the German originals, but the English-language translation copyrights were jointly managed by Progress Publishers (Moscow, aka CPSU; died along with the party), International Publishers (New York, aka CPUSA) and Lawrence & Wishart (London, aka CPGB; party died but publishers remain.) Marxists dot org was allowed to put up the first ten volumes from L&W for a decade on the condition that they could withdraw this permission at any time. Apparently L&W is financially hurting so it told the webmaster to take them down.

In what is probably the communist version of Christmas, I just found out that Marx, Engels, Lenin: On Historical Materialism already exists online in PDF format: http://libgen.org/book/index.php?md5=62CCD0E73FA1B890A97093EA0820A135 (so that choice is being removed from the list)

Didn't the soviets write any fun books that weren't about economic theory or politics? Was there a soviet equivalent of huckleberry finn? What about the hardy boys or nancy drew? Was there a soviet Stephen King? A soviet Isaac Asimov? Those are the books that need preserved. To lose a story is a tragic thing, to lose a book of propaganda made up mostly of charts, graphs, and tables full of inflated numbers, well, big deal, there's tons of those, stories are each unique. If there's already an archive somewhere of soviet literature that's actually enjoyable (contains no or very little propaganda, isn't suicide-inducingly depressing), please link me to it, because you (and most other people) have given me the impression that the soviets were entirely joyless and devoid of imagination. This cannot possibly be true. Please tell me I'm wrong and they enjoyed more than just drinking, working, attending military parades, and reading propaganda.

This is true if you're talking about Russian books in the Russian language, but these are books which were translated into English and which existed to be exported to English-language countries. They aren't on those sites.

Also yesterday I got a Soviet book on neocolonialism in the mail (it wasn't on the list and it was cheap so I bought it myself.) I shall scan it later. Another book I got yesterday was from a Western pro-Soviet guy on how Pol Pot was an rear end in a top hat and the Vietnamese intervention was a good thing. I already scanned it since it's only 148 pages compared to 300+ for Soviet book.

It will. The worst case scenario is that the winning book was already bought by someone else, as I said was a possibility in the first post. In that case the second choice is selected.

It's going to be quite critical. China and the USSR didn't patch up relations until the mid-late 80s. In 1980 Deng was claiming that the USA and China were in a "united front against hegemonism" (aka the USSR), China had just invaded Vietnam in retaliation for it toppling Pol Pot, and the Soviets were still making GBS threads all over Chinese foreign policy as objectively pro-imperialist.

It's apparently a pretty interesting book but, again, not going to be sympathetic to him.

Little frosty Eskimo,
Little Turk or Japanee,
O! don�t you wish that you were me?

You have seen the scarlet trees 5
And the lions over seas;
You have eaten ostrich eggs,
And turned the turtles off their legs.

Such a life is very fine,
But it�s not so nice as mine: 10
You must often, as you trod,
Have wearied, not to be abroad.

You have curious things to eat,
I am fed on proper meat;
You must dwell beyond the foam, 15
But I am safe and live at home.

In addition, the authors have made an extensive use of works by Soviet and foreign scholars." One of them, Eugene Yazkov, seems to have been pretty respected as a foreign historian of US history both before and after 1991, and edited a 1988 Soviet book in English on the origins and development of the two-party system in the USA.

Enver Zogha: Nov 12, 2008; The modern revisionists and reactionaries call us Stalinists, thinking that they insult us and, in fact, that is what they have in mind. But, on the contrary, they glorify us with this epithet; it is an honor for us to be Stalinists.

In the interests of ~~GLOBAL REVOLUTION~~ this thread I have been informed that Races of Mankind is on its way to my house where I will welcome it like a Red Army soldier in WWII turned frigid by the harsh Winter air and asking to find warmth on my scanning bed.

Also I scanned Gorby's report to the 27th Congress of the CPSU from 1986 a few days back. Wasn't part of the list obviously and it's before he really went to town with Glasnost and Perestroika, but I figure someone will find it interesting somewhere.
