Mir Publishers still exist in russia, but they don't carry out any foreign lanuages translation work, publishing Russian scientific literature in Russian only. Mir was formed in 1946 by a decree of the USSR Council of Ministers and was completely state funded which is the reason for the low prices of books. But after the Soviet Union collapsed they were privatised and different divisions were privatised. Since their main motive during the times of communism was Propaganda of both political side and showcasing the scientific achievements of communist state, with communism's collapse the motive was lost and funding stopped. They had a website till 1 year ago but it has stopped now. They still publish books of Russian authors in English but in collaboration with western publishers like Springer and CRC press, and they do come to world book fairs in major cities of the world I personally talked to them in the New Delhi World Book Fair. In India their books are still available as leftovers of Soviet Times still packed in cartons yet unopened since they exported huge amounts to India. You can still get a lot of Mir titles from here now also, this publishing house now carries out its own activity. the prices are approxmately 3 books for 1 dollar so cheap. There is also a website www.urss.ru, they still provide you with all the MIR titles running into thousands but at very steep prices since they print it on order, maybe they own the copyrights and somebody bought the old titles over.

The publishing house in India also has books by Russian Raduga(http://www.raduga-publ.ru/), Progress Publishers. I am personally very much interested in them have have carried out extensive research and have a huge collection of MIR'S books.
