Re: [dinosaur] On several Russian papers

As I thought, some of these papers can be downloaded from Russian sites,
although sometimes as a full journal or issue rather than as an individual
article.

One possible complication is that Russian websites often post documents in
DjVu format rather than pdf. You will need to download a reader, which
should be available for free. You click through the pages from the bar at
the top. You can also convert DjVu to pdf (although I have not tried it).


The Archive for the Russian journal Priroda in DjVu is posted here:

The issue with Maleev's original description of  Therizinosaurus (Priroda
1954(3):106-108), including an illustrated reconstruction as a giant
turtle-like animal(!), can be downloaded at this link.

The Geokniga website is a bit tricky to work through, but here is a link to
some of the publications (in DjVu) by Efremov:


https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.geokniga.org_books_13923&d=DwIFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=Ry_mO4IFaUmGof_Yl9MyZgecRCKHn5g4z1CYJgFW9SI&m=367EWCREnY38dlqyg6c4tMC0GHKj4vhy3l2qdJ2HwJ0&s=A8Gwb5xR5-BS4jgs9pJSUiq4bZ1O-R-5QEVCNlzqABA&e= 


You need to click on the title, then go to the bottom of the individual
page for the publication and click on the link.

Chudinov's book on early therapsids from 1983 is here:

I may be able to get  links for some of the other papers, but it can take
some time to get the queries right in Russian, and, of course, some papers
may not be online at the moment.
