Default Russian Cookbooks

I want to purchase a book in English on Russian cuisine, and am
wondering whether anyone has experience with one or more of the
following books:

Molokhovets: A Gift to Young Housewives
Bremzen: Please to the Table
Volokh: The Art of Russian Cuisine

I've seen suggestions that Molokhovets is sometimes imprecise and
calls for ingredients that are not readily available in North America,
but I'm neither surprised nor concerned about that, and the historical
perspective interests me. However, if one of the other books is just
plain better, I'd like to know it.

Grateful on any observations on the foregoing titles.
