I didnt say the internet, now did I??? I wonder how many Golitsyn books are floatin around Russia, hmmm??? When is the last time you saw a copy in a used bookstore in Russia, for instance?

TTS - That would depend on whether or not Golitsyn "shopped" his books for a Russian distributor. You can easily find books written by Gordievsky, Edmund Pope, Paul Klebanov, Suvorov (one of the most popular authors for that genre), and a myriad of other authors who write about the KGB, the GRU, Putin, anti-Russian, anti-Soviet, etc., etc.. My library is full of them. Once again you are speaking about something that you have no knowledge about.

Russian bookstores are fantastic and cheap. And, you can find a book on just about any topic. If Golitsyn's book isn't available in Russia it's because he hasn't had it translated.

You said exactly "Read Golitsyn...but don't let them catch you reading him in the Soviet Union/Russia (wouldn't be good for you health)."
Did you specify what kind of reading is it? I could have printed the web pages and read it from paper. That would have done no difference at all. You do judge what you have no idea about.
As to the used English books... Well Amazon.com or bn.com are at my service. BTW, I live nearby a book shop selling new and used English books. I know another shop, 15 minutes walking away from me which sells all kinds of rare and strange books, I will ask them if I can order Golitsyn. I even found there a Saddam Hussain's book (one of his novels). I am pretty sure, that if I wanted, I could have ordered "Mein Kampf" or "Malleus Maleficarum" should I want that.
Do you really think that people in my country are prosecuted for what they tead?
