Ironically, I just got to the part in Beevor today where he mentions Rodimtsev. My knowledge has been mostly from the Republican side with particular interest right now in the International Brigades, especially now that so much material has apparently come out of the Soviet archives. I'll keep you posted re Rodimtsev's book as I will probably be posting reviews of these as I finish them. Good luck in your hunt for those books.

Hola, Eduardo -

No, the copy I have is in Russian, I bought it second-hand while I was working in Moscow. I'm doing a lot of reading right now on the Spanish Civil War and thought that this would be a good part of that as well as a chance to brush up my Russian. But I don't know anything more about the author and would be happy to hear more about him. I do know that many of the Russians who served in Spain did so under assumed names and many were only fully identified since the Soviet archives became open, also many of these veterans did not fare well in Stalin's purges of the Red Army.
