Gusi-Lebedi (Russian Geese and Swans)

Abstract

This is an oversized pamphlet of 56 + 8 pages for English readers and speakers to learn Russian. The last eight pages are a Russian-English vocabulary list. Accents are inserted in the texts to help foreigners pronounce the Russian words. The T of C on the inside-front-cover and first page are a winding journey around a village. I recognize FS on 7-10. The art tends toward the kind of colorful, expressive psychodelic style that Russians seem to have cultivated. Is that Baba Yaga I see on 33? Apparently Galina Aleksandrovna Gladkova is the overall editor. V. Provalov also seems to have had a hand in producing the book. The choice of Geese and Swans as the subject of a book is unusual, I think.
