(DONE) COMBINE, FIX MISTAKES etc. - mostly Ukrainian and Russian books

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
BUT I found one more author's page -
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
If you can, please merge his books as well.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
please merge with
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
please merge with
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Author's name is
Alexander Grin (Russian name is Александр Степанович Грин)
We do not merge author names in different languages. Please see: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/... (See: Authors published in multiple languages)
Authors with books published in multiple languages should have their names dealt with similarly to those with pen names. All editions should have the primary author name as the standard or most common Roman (that is, English-language) version of the author's name. Editions published under another spelling of the name or the name in another language should have that name listed as the secondary author. Different editions of a book not having the same primary author can cause quite a few distinct problems. Please keep the primary author for all editions of a work the same.

Au..."
Ok, I got it, but what I asked is different. It's OR wrong name writing (mistake), OR same language, but different name abbreviation.

Also wondering if Arkady Gaydar is right, as the English and German editions I checked all have Gaidar on the cover?
Books combined
#2 books combined
#3 Russian profile merged into full name Russian profile
If there are books that need combining, please link to both of them.
#4 books combined
#5 shorter Russian profile merged into full name Russian profile. Book combined
#6 title corrected

You are awesome, thank you.
That is a good question.
Wikipedia says Arkady Gaidar (and it sounds better as for Russian pronunciation of his name)

WRONG
Приключения Ежиньки и других нарисованных человечков
CORRECT name
Приключения Ёженьки и других нарисованных человечков

Someone added it using transliterates (Russian words with Latin letters... which is inappropriate, I guess). WHY DID THAT?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
And these are three names in one !!
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
CORRECT name of the book
Все вредные советы
CORRECT AUTHOR'S NAME
Григорий Остер
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
CORRECT DESCRIPTION
Дать ребенку совет, который может оказаться бесполезным, - не так уж и страшно.
Не давать совета вообще - еще лучше, потому что не придется отвечать за последствия.
А что будет, если дать заведомо вредный совет?
Например: "На улице минус двадцать, не надевай шапку".
Как вы думаете, ваш ребенок послушается? Скорее всего нет. Засмеется и оденется потеплее. Вот в чем смысл "Вредных советов" Григория Остера. Чем их больше, тем веселее будет хохотать ваше чадо, тем меньше глупостей оно сотворит.

#12: A variant spelling of an author name that is used on the cover of some editions should not be merged. The default author name should be added to the books, that was already done.
Someone had combined the book in #1-4, but combined the wrong book in #1. I've corrected that one.
#13-5 According to Worldcat, the English edition is an adaptation of the Russian edition. Adaptations should not be combined with the book they are based on.
#13-6 Also an adaptation; Combined both Russian editions
#14-7 books combined.
All books on the Richard Skarri profile corrected to primary author Richard Scarry and secondary author Ричард Скарри https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
#15 The Russian profile with the typo seems to be gone
#16 combined
#17 books combined
#18 was done by someone
#19 done; the book was automatically imported from Amazon.com, but they are not the best source for non-English books
#20 done

Thank you!
Will use right terms!

The mistake in the last name

В одно чудесное весеннее утро Петсон и Финдус решили посадить морковку, картошку и тефтельку. Но не тут-то было: сначала куры разворошили все грядки в поисках червяков. Затем кто-то выкопал и погрыз картошку. А потом в огород пришли коровы и все затоптали! Но Петсон и Финдус не сдаются и побеждают.

IDK is it right about these two profiles

and
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Same person
Russian texts in both profiles
Right name in Russian - Владислав Крапивин
or full name - Владислав Петрович Крапивин
But many of his Russian books named under English name.
Might be, Vladislav Krapivin - has to have English description at least?
Vladislav Krapivin is a Russian children's books writer.
Vladislav Petrovich Krapivin was born in the city of Tyumen on 14 October 1938. He received a degree in journalism from the Ural State University. In the course of his studies, he started working at the newspaper "Evening Sverdlovsk", followed by several years in the periodical "Ural Pathfinder". Krapivin has been a full-time writer since 1965. His first book, The Voyage of Orion, was printed by the Sverdlovsk Publishing House in 1962. Over the course of his literary career, Krapivin became the author of more than 200 publications, many of which have been translated.
In 1961 Vladislav Krapivin founded a youth group called "Caravel" with the main activities for the kids that of journalism, fencing, sailing and all things maritime. "Caravel" exists to this day, led by its former graduates.

Russian edition, I believe, has to go under Russian name of

Same here

And here

I'm not sure it's a right question, but what do you think...
There is series of Russian books "AnimalBooks. Занимательная зоология" which include at least 32 books for now.
It's the website of series http://animalbooks.ru/ (if some read in Russian)
As an example - this book is one of that series
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
It's another one
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
You can see they have similar covers in one style, but authors are different...
Should we mark all those books as parts of series in this case?

Веселая и красочная новогодняя книга о том, как большой Снеговик однажды простудился. Дети очень старались ему помочь и перепробовали все, чем их обычно согревали родители: напоили его горячим какао, отдали ему теплую шапку, шарф и даже курточку... но Снеговику становилось все хуже и хуже. Несколько раз он превращался в грустную лужицу, и ребята лепили его снова и снова. И тут один малыш сообразил, как помочь Снеговику...
