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?

I would be very surprised if Golitsyn's books are available (especially so if they are widely available) in Russian book stores. As you know, I believe Golitsyn's analysis re: the phony "collapse" of Communist structures is correct. As such, I highly doubt the semi-hidden Communist structures in the "former" Soviet Union would appreciate Golitsyn's books floating around. I would be curious to find out what the reaction of Russia's publishing houses would be to the idea of publishing Golitsyn's 1984 book "New Lies For Old." Several publishing houses in the US have bootlegged (republished) the book because the original publisher, Dodd-Mead, went out of business...and Golitsyn doesn't say anything because he is still under deep cover. Yep, perhaps that's the best way to resolve the matter. Let's see if it's possible to publish and distribute "New Lies For Old" in Russia!!! Even better, let's have it translated into Russian!!! Are you on board? Could be a lot of money in it for YOU. And if you and Koba are correct, there shouldn't be any reprocussions--TTS
