Re:The Artful Propaganda of Soviet Children’s Literature by aqsalose on Saturday June 17, 2017 @06:34PM (#14578033)
By the 1960s and 1970s, the Soviet children's fiction was maybe more recognizable as such. Eduard Uspensky's [1] works are quite widely translated into Finnish (looking at the local library catalog, with remarkable number of reprints in 1990s/2000s).

My view of the Great War of Currents between Edison and Westinghouse [2] has ever since been colored by the version told in the Warranty People. (A story about tiny little engineers, living inside everyday electric appliances, keeping them running and in order until the warranty period is over, after which they leave.)
