"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."

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.

Do you know about the National Alliance of Russian Solidarists? A very anti-communist group of exiles allegedly supported by the CIA. Do you think they'd be published in Russia? Well....guess what?

Or how about this book:

"Âîñåìü ëåò âî âëàñòè Ëóáÿíêè. Òðåãóáîâ Þ. À
Ì., 2001 ã. 266 ñòð., ïåðåïë¸ò

8 Years in Power at Lubyanka (KGB HQ). Tregubov, Yu. A.
Published in Moscow 2001 266 pages, soft cover

The book was one of the first post-war testimonies about how the Soviet government inhumanely dealt with its political enemies."


And you were saying?
This book is easy to find in various book stores and at Posev's kiosk on Pushkin Square smack dab in the middle of Moscow.

Well, TTS, just where is that censorship?
