What are some good books that talk positively about the USSR?

I don't know any unfortunately, but others will come and post something. I know a good one about how there was no communism in Russia in which I'll post a link when not on a cellphone.

It pains me to give you these sources as they will likely construe a wrongful view of the Soviet Union and solidify your Stalinist beliefs, but here are some books and sources:

Soviet Communism: A New Civilisation by Beatrice Webb
The Truth About Soviet Russia by Beatrice Webb
Soviet Democracy by Pat Sloan
The Soviet Union: Facts, Descriptions, Statistics (https://www.marxists.org/history/ussr/government/1928/sufds/index.htm) by the Soviet Union Information Bureau, Washington D.C.

[Dagoth Ur]

Another View of Stalin by Ludo Martens
http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book/lookupid?key=olbp23083
Against the theory of State-Capitalism by Ted Grant (which is more like an article)
http://www.marxists.org/archive/grant/1949/cliff.htm
Perestroika: A Marxist Critique by Sam Marcy
http://www.workers.org/marcy/cd/sampere/index.htm

To name a few off the top of my head. I've got more if you like.

Decades ago, in the sixties, if memory serves, when there was a Soviet Union, Maurice Hindus wrote a positive book about it, and the title of the book was House without a Roof.
