A while back Tony from Actually Existing Socialism podcast interviewed an editor for a book about the history of football in the USSR with emphesis on the teams in Moscow if i remember correctly.

You can find the episode here if you want to listen. The book they are talking about is Win or Else: Soviet Football in Moscow and Beyond, 1921-1985 by Larry E. Holmes.

For Android a hidden gem in terms of tts engines i have found is Sherpa-onnx. They have a page with pre-built apks here, if you can stomach finding your way in a huge list and looking for the specific architecture of your phone cpu. The voices that they offer are the best i have heard for an open source project. Still the are downsides. It is heavy on the hardware and will barely run on low end phones with long pauses between the phrases. Also you can only have installed one voice at a time. There is a huggingface space where you can try different voices in browser without installing anything here.

Apologies for being offtopic. I have noticed that the link "z-lib. is" has been declared a scam site on the official zLibrary reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/zlibrary/comments/zx6z62/megathread_how_to_access_zlibrary_on_tor_app/). Although they have a clear internet adress (https://singlelogin.re/), the reqirement of an account, the personal domain management and the occasional instability make them quite unfit for the average lurker looking for a book. Also stated in their thread, I recommend the use of https://annas-archive.org/ as an easy to use substituent for "z-lib. is".
