On the 5th page of responses of the original Faleev 80/20 article there is a link one of Faleev's later publications in Russian. I've been giving it a read while dusting off my Russian (picked up from my Russian first wife of 5 years 
). I made it about a quarter of the way through yesterday while being reminded how difficult Russian is! I highly, highly recommend investing the time to work your way through this book - it will require a translation app if you don't speak Russian, but it's well worth it. Lots of examples of Russian "cast iron logic" from the author's thoughts on training as well as his reviews of some American strength authors of note, including Brooks Kubik and Stuart McRobert. There's a couple telling paragraphs in there that detail the major differences between the Russian and American psyche and how that can affect one's approach to all training. I haven't even made it to the training chapters yet but so far it's been a super interesting read!
