We now come to Problems in Elementary Physics by B. Bukhovtsev, V. Krivchenkov, G. Myakishev, and V. Shalnov. 
This collection of 816 problems is based on the textbook “Elementary Physics” edited by Academician G. S. Landsberg. For this reason the content and nature of the problems and their arrangement mainly conform with this textbook. There is no section devoted to “Atomic Physics”, however, since the exercises in Landsberg’s book illustrate the relevant material in sufficient detail. Some problems on this subject have been included in other chapters. The problems, most of which are unique, require a fundamental knowledge of the basic laws of physics, and the ability to apply them in the most diverse conditions. A number of problems in the book have been revised from those used at the annual contests organized by the Physics faculty of the Moscow University. The solutions of all the difficult problems are given in great detail. Solutions are also given for some of the simpler ones. The book is recommended for self-education of senior pupils of general and special secondary and technical schools. Many problems will be useful for first and second year students of higher schools.
The book was translated from the Russian by A. Troitsky and was edited by G. Leib. Mir Publishers published this book first in 1971 and was reprinted again in 1978. The link below is for the 1978 edition.

There is a book I have been searching for a long time, from MIR Publishers. I live in Brazil and the only way to get it is buying by a seller who brings it from East Germany (Berlin). The book is entitled “Elementary Physics: Problems and Solutions” ; author: “Isaak Pavlovich Gurskii”. This book seems to be very important in the Physics Science. Will you, sometime in the future, post it ?

‘Saraeva’ is the vulgar way brazilians call this book, the actual name it’s Problems in Elementary Physics, and the autors are Saraeva, Krivtchenkov, Miakishev & Bukhovtsev. We call it just Saraeva because it’s easy to pronounce. 🙂

Thanks for the information. I did not know that Mir books were popular in Brazil also. Maybe you can help us with list of Mir books available in Portuguese.
On another note there are quite a few titles from Little Mathematics Library and others available in Spanish.

Well… they are, since we have our version of IIT, The ITA (Instituto de Tecnologia da Aeronáutica – Technological Institute of Aeronautics) and IME (Military Institute of Engineering), and those books are actually good to prepare for those institutions’ tests;
Also, we study most in english and spanish because mir books in portuguese are really, really rare. (only ‘Saraeva’ i believe)
I think the only way i can contribute is seeding, because your website happens to be my source of mir books.
I think i might have some books that are not listed here, let me check and i’ll upload later.

And it’s true, those books are usually used for students about to take ITA and IME exams, and also for Physics Olympiads preparation. And like he explained, we just call it “Saraeva”, it’s shorter and easier to speak, haha.

Hi damitr,
I’m brazilian and fond of this website, congrats! About your note, I have a version of this book in spanish (only pdf), and I haven’t seen links on the website to them. Do you share spanish versions as well? Might me quite useful for a lot of people.
The spanish version is a translation by Marina Kostrítsina of 1979. It’s interesting that the last author listed on the english version is here listed as I. M. Saráeva, which explains why we call this book “Saraeva”.

saraeva is actually the last edition o this book, published in 1977, where saraeva was included in the author’s team. So this book here is similar of saraeva but just an edition earlier!
