Citizens of the USSR could not travel abroad and their contacts with foreigners were strictly controlled. Nevertheless, foreign languages ??were studied in all schools. There were publishing houses that published books in foreign languages. Vladimir Mayakovsky, one of the most famous poets of the first third of the 20th century. "What is good and what is bad" is a classic example of the use of poetry in order to educate a citizen of a country of victorious socialism. Translation into English by an unknown translator. Colorful illustrations, which was common since the Soviet school of children's illustration included many of the most talented artists. In my collection there are other children's books translated into English, published in the 1960s and 70s.
