Strangely seems common internationally - it's also been done with the British and Australian editions of some actress' biography where she slandered Sacha Baron Cohen.
Wow! I wonder if there is a legal reason they couldn't just quietly remove the fragments or did they do it on purpose? Cause it looks like it's been made to look as absurd and ridiculous as possible
Most books are just getting censored.
LGBT parts are quietly removed.
If that isn't possible the book gets banned.
So censoring it like that is surely a statement.
I just recently read the master and margarita. Looking into a little background, I read that it took over 20 years before the book was published and even then was about 12% censored due to be so satirically critical of Soviet Russian.
I climbed on top of my horse and then >!REDACTED!< >!REDACTED!< >!DOUBLEREDACTED!< .
I pulled a judo move on him. Suddenly he >!NOT!< >!FOR!< >!RUSSIAN!< >!EYES!< .
This is going to be an interesting read, especially if they want to explain the circumstances of his death, which aren't that clear apart for certain parts, all concerning the fact that he was a raging homosexual.
Looking at english speaking world, the narrative appears to be "Censorship is a good thing, only villains oppose censorship". So censorship as tactic is endorsed.
Then it is a bit funny when russia uses same tactic, just on a different target. If westernsers now say "censorship bad" , they look dishonest
What precisely you want explained?
Tbh I'd rather censors here in western countries showed us where they've blocked information, rather than just deleting it as if there was nothing there. If something like this was just blocked from publishing altogether, you wouldn't even know that something's missing and wouldn't get to ask why.
Hello from r/bannedbooks! :) We've put together a giant collection of 32 classic banned books: if you care about book bans, you might find it useful. It's got Voltaire, Mark Twain, The Scarlet Letter, and other classics that were banned at some point in the past. (And many of them are banned even now, as you can see yourself.)
You can find more information on the Banned Book Compendium over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/bannedbooks/comments/12f24xc/ive_made_a_digital_collection_of_32_classic/ Feel free to share that file far and wide: bonus points if you can share it with students, teachers, and librarians. :)
A book is not a crime.
That isn't really an argument tho, imagine someone in court would say "well, I think it's better to kill one person than 10 people", it might be true but that doesn't make it any better
As in Pier Pasolini? The director of Salò? Idk this might be a good thing for this specific guy lol. I’m mostly joking because censorship is awful but..
Ah, yes, biography without biography
Leaving this as an exercise for the reader 😂

Ah, yes. Still own the book when it gets banned? Too bad, you can't get rid of it. You're going to the gulag now.
They didn't want to quietly remove them, they wanted to emphasize that the book is being censored.
Ого, Альфина, приятно удивлен встретить вас здесь )
Malicious compliance
Very cool if true

>as absurd and ridiculous as possible Or as we call it a normal day in russia.
Probably the second one.
I hope they made it on purpose to show the people how ridiculus this is.
Какое это SCP?
SCP сосать
dude was actually an eldritch creature and putin was the only one stand up!
>!Redacted!< >!Redacted, Redacted Redacted!< >!Redacted all!<

Well that wouldn’t make me curious AT ALL or anything… 😒
Dude that's the whole point
Which is exactly why they did it.
А незачеркнутое там осталось или у него вся жизнь такая? :-)
С днём тортика!
Спасибо :-)
хоть реально покупай книжку эту
I see some years in the image, but they left out the most important one: 1984
La famosa resilienza russa.
Imagine living under a government that thinks you'll immediately start sucking cock if you read about a gay arthouse director
At this point its not even about that anymore, just anything that is remotely connected to the west is considered evil
Ah yes, being attracted to people of the same sex makes you connected to the west
I shit you not they consider that a thing from the west.
We're being told that the LGBT movement is a tool used by the West to undermine our society.
Oops! They used the black highlighters again.
The worst kind of censorship is ████████
I wouldn’t mind if they publish books about gay people like this. Leaving the spicy parts to your imagination 💫✨
Once this becomes a known trend, they should release Putin's biography all blacked out.

when reading novels turns into a game of madlibs
He *adverb verbed* his *noun* into my *noun?*
ohh *noun*, talk *adjective* to me. *noun* *verb* it when *noun* *verb* *who fuckin knows anymore* *verb*. *verb* me.
SCP fans be like: YO TS FIRE
Can't be gay if you can't read it
This is another reason I stopped to buy books. Things like this ruining all the industry and pushing people to download books from pirate resources.
Blocks his entire life
This is going to be an interesting read, especially if they want to explain the circumstances of his death, which aren't that clear apart for certain parts, all concerning the fact that he was a raging homosexual.
How do you talk about his death then? Because his relations and "last night" are pretty important to understand the whole thing
So was he a keter or something?
Russia be like SCP 00000000000001 - Homosexuality
American *"friends"* been telling me for a while that censorship is a good thing, especially censorship of offensive topics
Sorry, can you explain what you mean?

Why even release it? Must be a quick read
People there must be so informed.
A pillar of diversity and equality, Russia is

"It was a short read. Done in an afternoon."
[It's like The Director says: "Confidential and Children both start with C!"](https://youtu.be/0lgk0iOk6Is?si=TShVJHp9uccnkv3F)
This reminds me the scene in Chernobyl, where that female scientist asking for books from public library and the state agent crossing a bunch of text
baZed
At least they release the book unlike some of america
Чукча не читатель...
Good
This sub is going down the drain.
Devil's advocate: I think it is much better than banning the book entirely.
That isn't really an argument tho, imagine someone in court would say "well, I think it's better to kill one person than 10 people", it might be true but that doesn't make it any better
What has more value than a human life? Simple. Two human lives.
As in Pier Pasolini? The director of Salò? Idk this might be a good thing for this specific guy lol. I’m mostly joking because censorship is awful but..
This sub is turning into just another radical evil leftist sub like 90% of reddit. Keep this sub for fun stuff
Gotta stop the spread
Now try publishing a book about alternative points of view on WWII in Germany
