"Puzis, Pussy and Sailor" told by Uncle Asya (no idea who is he) and illustrated by Aleksey Komarov. This is a 1924 reprint of a pre-revolution book. Such excellent cat and dog characters!

"The Spring March" written by Esfir (Esteher) Emden and illustrated by and illustrated by Vera Ivanova in 1930. The book might be about the first meeting of pioneers which was held a year earlier, in August 1929, and the First International Children's Congress was held then too. Image
