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.

Don't Russian book stores carry used books printed in English? If so, you would think a myriad of Russian book stores would carry Golitsyn's book. Whether you agree with him or not, he is after all the most sensational and controversial KGB defector to ever defect from the Soviet Union. His book would also appeal to many Russian dissidents who believe the old guard is either coming back or still in charge.
