Absolutely, one of the reasons I enjoyed science/math was because of these Russian books. I still have them stacked away safely. Not just these, I enjoyed nice comic books (without any propaganda unlike some marvel comics characters out to destroy russian tanks/military bases) like Amar Chitra Katha, Tinkle and Indrajal comics (some of which covered history and geogpaphy in a very educative way and non-boring way). --> Vinayak H
