Has anyone read this on here? It's apparently a Russian rewrite of the Silmarillion from Melkor's point of view. Is it any good? Myself, I find the concept fascinating...

Not only have I not heard of it, I don't speak Russian.

Well you should learn Russian its always good knowing another language.

Presumably the book could be translated. All I know is the guy who wrote it is Russian and for all I know there might be Russian people visiting this site.

This has been mentioned a few times before, such as here. Heren Istarion has read this book, so you could direct a few questions at him via PM if you want more details.
