I like this from the (Russian language) Wikipedia articleabout the book: “It repeatedly criticizes unsightly American traits, like the standardization of life, and the intellectual passivity of Americans, especially young people and their gullibility.”

As far as accessing the book itself, to read, I didn't see a link in the article but I could have missed it. In any case, you can always install Mozilla Firefox and the Z-Library plugin to get a copy for free (I doubt anyone really suffers financially in this case, the book being almost 100 years old) or go to Anna's Archive. I may try to squeeze it into my usual reading slate.

Got it on ebay. I had this book twenty years ago but I don't remember pictures must have been a different translation.
