We now come to Problems in Physics by A. A. Pinksy. This is the accompanying “Problem Book” to the two volume set Fundamentals of Physics by A. A. Pinksy and B. M. Yavorvsky (which we might see soon!), who is also the co-author of A Modern Handbook of Physics and Handbook of Physics with A. A. Detlaf.
This book offers the reader over 750 problems concerning the same subject matter as is treated in the two volumes of the “Fundamentals of Physics”. The order of presentation of the theoretical material is also the same.
The availability of a great number of problem books based on the traditional school physics curriculum prompted us to enlarge those sections which are absent from traditional problem books, namely the dynamics of a rotating rigid body, the elements of the theory of relativity and of quantum and statistical physics, of solid-state physics, wave optics, atomic and nuclear physics, etc. Problems dealing with astrophysics illustrate the application of the laws of physics to celestial bodies.
The book contains a few problems requiring elementary
skill in differentiating and integrating, as well as some problems
to be solved with the aid of numerical methods, which
nowadays are being increasingly used.
The book was translated from the Russian by Mark Samokhvalov and was first published by Mir Publishers in 1980.

Dear Mr Damitr,
Please upload the corresponding text books along with the problems books. Then the problem books’ll have greater significance. Also this site will be a paradise (and an exception though already it is!) for those who want to build up their physics following russian (and soviet) books.
I request you to upload Pinsky,Yavorsky [Fundamentals of Physics vol 1,2] and Academian Landsberg’s [Elementary Physics vol 1,2,3] text as early as possible.
I know scanning those large books is a tiresome work
