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.
