"Hardy Boys" in Russian

[John Schillinger]

Hi Victor!

Anatoly Rybakov was a popular writer of books for Soviet youth before  
he became known for Children of the Arbat.  His early works
in that genre include a Hardy Boys-type series of adventure stories on  
a Young Pioneer (and later, Komsomol) background, beginning with  
Kortik (The Dirk),  and including Bronzovaja ptica, Vystrel,  
Prikljuchenija Krosha, and Kanikuli Krosha.  Kortik was available as a  
graded reader published by Russkij jazyk (1989), but is no doubt hard  
or impossible to find.   You can, however, download Kortik from the  
internet.
