Any idea what the name of it is?  Value?  It's a cool book but I am having a hard time with this one.

58 years ago,i spoke a mix of Russian /German...i have,nt spoken it since...but thats how i recognized the cross and the writing...may i suggest you scan the page into a translation website...it may help....the cover looks to be leather...how many pages?...Russian items are hot...
When I visited my Aunt & Uncle in the Ukraine in 2005...when i was coming out at the border with Poland..the border guard asked me..."have you got any icons".....this could be classed as such...

573 pages  it's very small only 4" x 3".  Good idea about scanning.

Inside is it laid out like the bible....a Russian pocket bible of similar size recently sold on ebay for £107...but it was just a run of the mill...black covered one...with no Orthodox cross on the front...

It is indeed a Russian prayer book. What you see there on the first page is " 1 - Morning Prayer ".
