Soviet Textbook on Einstein and Physics

Looking round the internet to find odd English translations of texts by Soviet authors on various subjects tends to expose me to a fairly wide and unusual range of reading material. Sometimes that can throw up some interesting surprises though. I found a copy of this book on Archive.org and thought it was worth a share.

"Einstein and the philosophical problems of 20th century physics"

This isn't going to hit any of the best seller lists anytime soon and unless you are a specialist, you almost certainly won't ever encounter it ever again. Very few original works of Soviet philosophy got translated in to English and even fewer get noticed by western authors. Most of these books get buried simply by obscurity and their ideas die with them. But if you are interested in the intersection between religion, ideology and science, the philosophy of science or like science and want to enter an alternate universe and see physics through Soviet eyes, it may be worth a look.

You never know what you may learn. :)
