The updated list includes collections of works by Vladimir Mayakovsky and Vladimir Lenin.
Consensus
- The collections 'War and Language' by Vladimir Mayakovsky and 'Donkey Bridge' by Vladimir Lenin have been included in Russia's official list of publications requiring special labeling.
- The inclusion is based on the presence of mentions of narcotics, as per amendments to the law 'On Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances'.
- The updated list contains over 2,500 book titles.
- The list is maintained and published by the Russian Book Union (RKU).
- The new regulations came into effect on March 1.
- Both books were published by 'Limbus Press': 'War and Language' in 2021 and 'Donkey Bridge' in 2017.
- The books include previously unpublished or uncollected texts, such as speeches, articles, and essays.
- The inclusion of these books is part of a broader effort to label works with references to narcotics, including modern and translated classics.
Points of divergence
- The list includes the novel 'Normal People' by Sally Rooney, 'Maskarade' by Terry Pratchett, and 'Night Ocean' by Howard Lovecraft, as well as works by Eduard Limonov, Alexei Ivanov, Mikhail Shifrin, and Robert Sapolsky. — vedomosti
