I think Russian speakers can consider themselves quite lucky looking at amount of chess literature published in this language. There are plenty of books for download at webchess.ru/ebook/.
I am currently working on "Mittelspiel. Plan (middlegame)" by Romanovsky and "600 okonchanii (600 endgames)" by Portish and enjoy them a lot.

I agree. Most of my chess books (about 90😵 are in Russian.

If I could read Russian, that would be nice, but there are enough chess books in English that I don't feel too left out.

In 1990, American Chess Publications came out with the English translation (by Jimmy Adams) of "Chess Middlegame Planning". In 1991, the same publisher came out with an English translation (same translator) of Romanovsky's companion volume "Chess Middlegame Combinations". I have both books and recommend them.

One thing I AM thankful for is chess book translators. They're probably greatly underpaid for the work that they do.
