Russian Book Union
other
The Russian Book Union is involved in the regulation of literary content, particularly through maintaining an industry list of books requiring special marking due to references to narcotics. It has been tasked with transforming the National Literary Award 'Word' into an international prize alongside state bodies such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives. The organization has faced scrutiny over its handling of marked book lists, including removing them from its website following public criticism.
