I'm trying to get my mother and father in law in to paleo. They've had some success with Atkins in the past but gave it up. My FiL has diabetes and my MiL has a bunch of auto immune issues like arthritis and schleroderma. I think they'd really benefit but they don't read in English very well. Any ideas?

Preferably something that isn't in a forum. They aren't very internet saavy. Either a well organized blog, ebook, or source for a physical paper book that has been translated.

Perhaps there are Books in russian available about "The Optimal Diet" - The diet was hatched in Poland some 40 years ago by Dr. Jan Kwasniewski, a Polish eating plan that requires the consumption of prodigious amounts of animal fat -- preferably lard.

That's what I wanted to recommend as well, Kwasniewski might be known in this region more than other ideas. – Yoannah_offca May 10 2011 at 0:39

This is exactly what you are looking for: Functional Nutrition by Konstantin Monastyrsky.

It quite literally is a guide to paleo specifically written for a Russian audience. The book hasn't even been translated to English.

(For example, he says he doesn't play up the importance of red meat or butter because he knows Russians already value those foods.)

Funny I didn't notice that, I was hanging around on gutsense.org yesterday. – PolkaAches Dec 6 2011 at 19:26
I read both «Функциональное питание» and «Нарушения углеводного обмена» by Monastyrsky — these are great books! And he also has a book printed in English — Fiber Menace. – Bbd5 Oct 16 at 20:57

This is a rough solution that may be of some help.

Via Google Chrome I used the "Readability Redux" extension to strip and convert the webpage into a clean readable version. I then used the "Google Translate" extension to translate the page to "rough" Russian. Then printed the result to PDF.

Readability Redux:

Google Translate:

Print to PDF:
On Linux I have native support for this. There must be a free Windows or Mac program that you can install which will allow you to choose "print to PDF" instead of just your "Printer". You cannot use a "Save Webpage to PDF" like extension as they all use the URL of the page which is always the original not the readable translated one. You need to actually print the page and choose the "to PDF" as the printer in whatever printer dialogue window you have.

An example:
1. Open URL in Chrome: http://whole9life.com/2010/03/the-grain-manifesto/
2. Click "Readability Redux" extension button. You can change the font size in "Options" for the extension.
3. Click "Google Translate" extension button. Choose "View this page in: Russian", than "Translate".
4. Right click on page and choose "Print".
5. Choose "Print to PDF" or the like.

Here is the result of my example: http://toshine.org/pull/whole9life-the-grain-manifesto-russian.pdf

This way you can possibly grab some good web-resources and pass them to your folks as PDFs or merely just print them out for them.
