I've just ordered a copy of Mathematics: An Award Winning Textbook from Russia from Perpendicular Press.

The translator's press release is here, and Barnes and Noble has posted this 2004 review from Book News:

The textbook won the national competition for best textbook when it was first published in 1987, and is still in use today by sixth graders throughout the former Soviet Union. Harte (mathematics, George Washington High School, Cedar Rapids, Iowa) ran across a copy and decided it was much better than anything he used: there are (almost) no distracting graphics, misguided explorations, or colorful sidebars about courageous people; only half a dozen carefully sequenced lessons with examples and exercises.
