Just like the Science for Everyone series, Mir Publishers also ran a series in mathematics called the Little Mathematics Library. Here are some of the books from that series. Please add the books that are not listed here and are not known to me [there will be a lot for sure]
Some the titles are gems in mathematics and mathematical thinking, for example Induction in Geometry and Proof in Geometry are really well developed. The books though are small in size (typical size below 100 pages) are packed with a mathematical punch. Though small in size the contents are not diluted, as it happens in many small mathematics books. The books are quite rigorous in treating the material at hand.

Mir Books 
The list that you collected and written here is really enlightening. I myself never knew of so many books from MIR publishers. Actually I came to know of MIR publishers and Soviet/Russian books only few years ago when I came in Intermediate.
Although you must be knowing it already but there is a book: “Differential and Integral Calculus” by N.S. Piskunov.
Keep up your good and noble work of spreading awareness of the great legacy of Soviet Union.
Goodbye.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes I know about the book that you have mentioned. I will surely put it in the list that I am compiling for pure mathematics. There are two editions of this book, a single volume edition and a two volume edition.

Biju,
Thanks for the link. The books here were published in America and differ a bit in style of translation from the Mir counterparts in English, which were published later.

The most beautiful and interesting book of Little Mathematics Library is “The kinematic method in geometrical problems” by Lyubich-Shor.It might think extending the method to theorems of space-geometry.

I have a printed copy of “The kinematic method in geometrical problems” booklet by Yu. I. Lyubich, L. A. Shor; English translation, Mir Publishers, 1980; 56 pages. I have no idea on how a scan of this could be made available, etc. If Damitr could contact me, maybe we could arrange something.

Hi Dave,
You can use any scanner for doing this. Or even photos with good lighting and no distortion should do the job. And then you have the magical scan tailor to make things easy for you. Check this for some tips.
Let us know if you need any further help.

by “Algebra” if you meant “An Unusual Algebra” it is already there. And I am not aware if there is a book titled “Equations and Inequalities”, thought there is “Inequalities” by P. P. Korovkin. Sergei Vrubel and Systems of linear inequalities by A. S. Solodobnikov.
