They have a lot of new information, but you have to distill it from 200 pages.

Rivkin and Dr Ann:
I would suggest sending Lee Jones a PM about possibly posting scanned works here that are difficult to find. There may be some legal issues of copyright, etc. that need to be worked out. I can't speak for Lee, however I think he would give your idea some serious consideration.
I also believe that we have a couple of native Russian speakers who are active members of this forum, and they might be able/willing to assist in translating key passages.
Without hijacking the present thread, could I suggest that we take this interesting idea to a new thread.
