Textbooks• There are practically no textbooks in Russian
on sale. International Statistics as well as Statistics itself was invented in the USSR by Soviet statisticians and as far as I know it is not delivered to students abroad with the same contents
Textbooks• My first textbook on International Statistics
was published in 1999 in co-operation with Valentina Matveeva and Boris Bashkatov
Textbooks• In 2000 it was republished without the part of
Mr. Bashkatov. There were other textbooks, for example by Irina Eliseeva published in Minsk in 1999 etc.
Textbooks• Now I prepare a new edition of the textbook
for my Russian students. Of course it is possible to make a textbook in English but the number of possible buyers is too small

presentations and fulfill your personal tasks. We shall meet four times on lessons, on the fourth meeting you will get your marks for this short course
