Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. Google Books is not an acceptable source for adding books to the database. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

Bibliographical data via official source: Russian State Library catalogue search.rsl.ru

No description and no cover because of lack of valid source for that.

If you have a physical copy of the book, you can make photos of both cover and colophon page (where bibliographical data is stated), then temporarily upload these via your profile (use Add more photos function when on desktop computer, and make sure your profile is public) and provide us with these links. We can then add book's cover.
You can also write a summary of the book in Russian, I can then add it.
