When I grew up in VietNam, my teacher knew about French, USA, Taiwanese, and Soviet Union Piano Pedagogy thru the Viet Nam Conservatoire and informed me that the Soviet Union Classical Pedagogy back in 1980's was the best.

(Russian): Etiudy dlia fortepiano na raznye vidy tekhniki : uchebnyi repertuar detskikh muzykal'nykh shkol : 5 klass.
(Ukrainian): Etiudy dlia fortepiano na rizni vydy tekhnyky : uchbovyi repertuar dytiachykh muzychnykh shkil : 5 klas.
Compilers: R. Hindin, M. Karafinka.

Kiev Special Music School

It was in the Russian Alphabets Cyrillic ,but was converted /translated to me as above by the Slavic Studies librarian . at U of Washington as above.
