In Russia, everyone knows it by this nickname: "Kiselev's Geometry." It is by far the most famous Russian textbook. It has been published over 40 times in dozens of millions of copies, and lived through many epochs, wars, reforms and revolutions - and not only in education.
For nearly two decades the book had been the standard geometry text for all schools in the Soviet Union, serving the students of the age corresponding to the US grades 7-9. Now it is translated into English and adapted by a professor of mathematics from UC Berkeley to fit common guidelines for a high-school level course in plane geometry. The book is equally suitable for homeschooling, grade school or college classes, teachers' professional development, or independent study.
Reviewers, editors, and users of former editions praise the exceptional clarity of exposition, and an excellent collection of problems, counted in hundreds, and with the difficulty level varying from reasonably easy to reasonably hard. Unlike many other textbooks in the same subject, "Kiselev's Geometry" is good not only for being studying geometry, but also for having learned it.
