There are so many spelling mistakes in Russian and obvious mistakes about Russian culture and history in this book that I'm surprised a Russian specialist was not conducted before this was published "the Russians were fond of the late eighteenth century Afro-Russian poet aleksandr Pushkin..." this kind of thing is embarrassing. Fond? Are the English fond of Shakespeare? And he lived in the early 19th century.
