Topic: Russian manuals

[Bosco Stan]

I have a few scanned translated Russian training manuals/books that I would like to share. They are from Verkhoshansky, Bondarchuk, and Roman. Only one is a weightlifting manual but others have a lot of useful training theory (cycles, periodization, etc). They influenced a lot of today training systems. These manuals are more than 20 years old and don't have any copyright notice on them so I don't see any problem with posting them here except the fact that I'm a new member and it seems kinda odd to post some links as my first post on this forum. So I need to ask for a permission :) Can I post the links to books?

It should be fine.

Welcome, and thanks.

These texts were translated by Andrew Charniga, who still sells them through his web site http://www.dynamic-eleiko.com

Yes, at least one of the links was copyrighted to Sportivny Press, so the post has been removed.

Thanks for the understanding.

For the record, WE supports the principle of copyrighted materials- the right to own and control your own property. When I authorized Bosco to post the material, it was because he said he did not see a copyright notice. Someone, instead of clicking "Report to moderator", sending a PM to a moderator, or emailing weightliftingexchange@gmail.com decided to tell Bug Charniga, the owner of Sportivny Press, that I authorized his copyrighted material on our site. This clearly was not the case.

In the future, the fastest way to have obviously copyrighted material removed from the site would be to let us know, as Shaun did. Please note it was less than 30 minutes after Shaun posted the notice that the material was removed and probably would have been faster if done by the report to moderator link or via email.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, my mistake, it won't happen again. I just saw that the manuals are old and that there is no copyright warnings or anything (I found them on another forum). I didn't payed attention to Sportivny Press mark. I'm really sorry.

Don't worry about it Bosco.  Your heart seems in the right place and your desire to distribute good information to others was admirable.  I only wish I would have downloaded them all yesterday!  Well, my conscience would have probably gotten to me and I would have deleted them any way.  But it is the thought that counts!

Bosco, don't worry about it. You meant no harm. Welcome to the site.
