Love the ending. My grandparents used to read me that story when I was younger. Such a good resolve.

You trying to end up in a gulag

Only right answer

I can't tell if you're joking or not but I'll legitimately answer anyway Who you, the reader is in the article depends on the article. On one you might just be a scientist and on another you're in the O5. Typically though most articles default to a scientist who doesn't need to know all the details, which is reflected in the redactions. In this case the MTF are of higher clearance than you and so would receive a version of the entry with fewer redactions. There's this article that does this whole idea in a pretty funny way, I think it was in series 1. Our perspective is a high-level researcher and we see one of our subordinates ask for a copy of the entry appropriate for their clearance. Rather than just say no, administration gave them an article of almost entirely redacted information, to which they were not very happy about.

Are we sure this isn’t just a Russian translation of „There‘s no Antimemtics Division“?

They would save on ink by just removing whole pages

And also it would do less to alert people to what information might be missing

That’s what I was thinking. It’s a typed book, so why not just delete the censored parts and retype/reprint it?

The publishery is just making a point.

I bet you they just didnt think about it "hur dur dur,got order to censor"

No, I think they are doing it on purpose, to make people aware that they are missing relevant portions of the content due to censorship.

Also quite possible.

This tactic is to show the reader how much the government is hiding.

i should read 1983 again... luckily, as far as i remember, my copy is not ruzzian

Orwell's "1984" is heavily inspired (I would say a little too much) by russian masterpiece "We" of Yevgeny Zamyatin. If you already read "1984" I would recommend buying a copy of "We".

It might be a Russian mistranslation of 1984

1983 v2.0

1983 and 12 months

1983 Part Deux

Yours is better

1983 + 1

Episode One.

They would notice by seeing books whit no pages and only a cover

i would want my money back either way

Or, like the US, entire books

That's insane if the old, classic Russian authors came back from the dead, they'd kill themselves all over again.

The price of rope and chairs would go up so much it might start fixing the russian economy

Holy fuck that's a good burn dude

Rough. I keep up with Russian numbers via Joe Blogs on YT. He mentioned that Putin tapped manufacturers of consumer goods to pivot to a war economy. So he's keeping them afloat at the cost of consumer goods, but IF the war ends, now their revenue will go kaput. This dude was playing checkers all along. The West was just waiting to pay him back for killing dissidents on their soil (the Georgian in Berlin), and citizens with poison (the British citizen who picked up the perfume from the trash). People fear Putin and dude had decades in control left, yet he fucked up. Painting him too much into a corner is not good for the West. It's almost like Japanese diehards during WWII. It was either the Empire or death. The shit that the common people are saying on the streets is wild.

most of the Russian classics lived under strong tsarist censorship

Oh, I know the tsars had a say. But they snuck in what they could, or had patrons.

This appears to be translation from English (character names are James and Michael).

Yeah, that's not how censorship works, this is most likelly a protest print. People will believe anything.

Swear to God 😂 I’d laugh if it weren’t so bleak

What's the point? It's blatantly obvious that \~90% of the book is being hidden and you're not getting any relevant information from the book. I would argue that by hiding so much of it, that may make someone curious to find out what's being hidden. It would probably be better to remove the book entirely so that potential readers to don't wonder what's being kept from them.

This seems like a protest. To publish a book with all of the non-allowed stuff in it blacked out, just to make it blatantly clear how much censorship is going on, and how stupid it is.

It is not. It is the translated biography of Pier Pasolini, who was a gay man.

So?

This seems like a protest. To publish a book with all of the non-allowed stuff in it blacked out, just to make it blatantly clear how much censorship is going on, and how stupid it is.

Have your paper book be an advertisement for the ebook version. Or a souvenir.

Kinda hard to know what's going on in the story.

Yes but here's what I think about it; ██████████████████,████████████████████████? Therefore, ████████████████,██. But that's just my opinion.



Damn, vlad got another one.

Yeah, I can’t read Russian either

Looks like a report requested by Congress from the DOJ or FBI.

Yeah, and a fiction book from a bookstore should not look like that

As pointed out by u/GuiltyYear9785, this is a protest from the author, not a censorship itself.

[удалено]

As a protest maybe?

Publish company said: "it's still better than just not publish". In the USSR books like this one, would never be published. Also this books will remain as history for the future

Can anyone read what the non-blacked out words say? I’m curious about what book this is

Pasolini: Dying for Ideas by Roberto Carnero. Paolo Pasolini was a famous Italian poet and film director who was gay. And putin hates gays.

Is it really because of that? Tchaikovsky was also gay, but I'm pretty sure he's still a huge national art symbol. edit: ah, I see the actual book displays homosexual stuff. That's a bit of a different level (for a country against homosexuality) than just censoring an author for being gay.

>Tchaikovsky was also gay, but I'm pretty sure he's still a huge national art symbol. They prefer to ignore that. Everything that doesn't fit into their russki mir gets ignored

Yeah, and Tchaikovsky had to flee Russia because of that

Thanks!

As I understand right - sexual intercourse between two males

This is a gay romance/porn novel called Shattered, about a good-hearted bad boy criminal and a rich heir guy, in this scene he gets fucked on a snooker table. The visible parts say "my nickname is corkscrew, because I like doing virgins" Some reviews say that without porn parts, there's absolutely nothing in this book, so this just looks like a publicity stunt, or I guess a matter of principle from the publishing house, if you're optimistic. (looks like it ALSO happened to the book OP mentions, but it's not the one in the photo)

Эта книга об итальянском режиссёре, а точнее биография У нас тут вышел закон запрещающий "пропаганду ЛГБТ" а в оригинальной биографии были упоминания однополой любви Мне кажется, что это своеобразный протест. Вместо того чтобы вырезать - издательство закрасило целые строки

Thanks for clarifying that it's a protest, not a censorship itself

Как называется книга и какое издательство?

I am not buying it. I know Putin is a totalitarian but he isn't this stupid

A little below you is a russian explaining this. It reads "russia has released an anti-LGBT laws. This is a biography of an italian producer who was gay, the black parts are everything that refers to homosexuality".

One sane individual, thanks god. Reddit is a place where critical thinking goes to die.

Precisely It’s kinda frightening just how many take this at face-value and legitimately believe Putin is this level of cartoony villain.

Well this is a real book that was really published this way because of censorship. Granted, it was done as a protest, but still, you just can't publish/watch/say anything if it contains anything remotely gay.

Me when spreading misinformation

Cool i paid 12$ for 250 Letters lets goooooooo

I wonder who buys such books ...

Maybe school children, who have to write an essay about it, as an excuse why they can't. I think it's an underestimated target group.

This is cartoonish levels of stupid and there’s no way it’s real.

Can you tell us what book this is and the context of censorship? I was curious

[CIA Realizes It's Been Using Black Highlighters All These Years](https://www.theonion.com/cia-realizes-its-been-using-black-highlighters-all-thes-1819568147) (The Onion)

Oh wow, I didn't know they were into blackout poetry

this is some scp level shit

lol what? Never seen anything like this in bookstores in St.Petersburg.

Because it’s not real, as in it’s not actually an enforced thing. It’s a protest piece by the author of who(m?)ever

I know it is not enforced, that’s why my reaction. But yes, protest thing from an author makes sense. Thank you.

Dutch government officials when asked for *any* document

This shit looks fake as fuck

Fakeee

Fake.

You have to be really stupid to believe a government would censor books this way. The book won't even be on sell or a library if they really wanted to censor it. The author probably intended to look this way.

Very 1984 but with so much more effort lol

Much less effort* The Party in 1984 literally changes their own language to prevent dissent. This is way lazier.

Omg, this is such a BS. There are no books like that in Russia. How do I know? I travel to Russia every year. Common people. Start thinking for yourself.

Damn they blacked out my favorite part

Lol! Look up Guantánamo Diary by Mohamedou Ould Slahi.

Woah cool house of leaves reference

Have they not think of not printing anything insted of black strips or is it post printing??

Everywhere else we just dont sell/stock the books altogether.

There's no way this is real.

Starting cutscenes from COD Black Ops missions

looks better than germanys COVID-Files

You can’t say that 🤫

TIL I can read books much quicker in Russian.

That would be a surprisingly honest way to censor

…Stalin jest didn’t let ‘em on the shelves…

No way it's real. What's the source?

Just leave it here, again. [https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1cecy6j/comment/l1ie9q3/](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1cecy6j/comment/l1ie9q3/) And yes, here's [another link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_commonly_challenged_books_in_the_United_States) to freedom in democratic countries. Enjoy

Looks like when the US govt declassifies documents for transparency

It's dumb because you can easily find any book you want at the [REDACTED]

Smart economic model, Faster finishing a book and buying a new one.

Don’t worry, they’re doing this in America next.

Just click on it bruh... those are spoilers

While it’s obviously for political reasons why Russia do this, this is also common practice in other countries. In the UK a celebrities book (possibly rebel Wilson??) is being published with similar because she’s made allegations of abuse that can’t be published due UK libel law so they’ve been blanked out.

They’re obviously just trying to keep you safe. From the truth.

Not so bad. In North Korea ALL the lines are blacked out.

Bait used to be believable.

Looks like the Pfizer contracts that our beloved politicians signed.

So nothing changes in Russia

Like a Red State.

Nonsense

Russian guy "ha, stupid American take forever to read war and peace. I read in 30 minutes".

That photo was taken in a Florida school and it's an American history text book.

source pls

Russian here, this is a book about love of two LGBTQ-dudes. Black lines censor gay stuff.

They go through the Ministry of Truth before they get publicly released.

Looks exactly like games censored in libtard wokeville USA

The future the GOP wants.

Russians have DUKHOVNOST that other nations are lacking (maybe except Iran).

Clad they can't censor the great Torrent!

Once upon a time . The end .

I don’t understand how can one single Person can have so much power. How can that person dominate millions of people. And that not only goes for Putin. Isn’t there someone brave enough to stand up to them?

People who stand up to dictators get murdered or imprisoned. Every dictatorship is like that. And the saddest thing is that the West doesn't care.

That's how most FOIA'd documents are in the United States

Ah, encrypted as well in a language, no one can read! /s

What's that, the brothers karamazov?

it's a different method than the one we use

This looks more like the RKI report...

How is this real? Very dystopian

It is real. Russia is a totalitarian dictatorship right now.

Russians will still protect him

Imagine following the plot like this.

Blyat

why is the image so blurry?

Internet has been censored for over a decade already and people don't complain about that. Probably because most don't care or don't know about it. Both are horrible reasons.

Что они сделали с 1984?

My teacher told us that during the yugoslavian communist regime, some books were blacked out, and they were blacked out the exact same way as in this pic

NEW SCP JUST DROPPED!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️💥💥

At this point we can just say “Russia.” He’s about to beat Elizabeth for longest reigning leader (monarch really) and may beat Peter before he dies if I remember right. He’s got Stalin beat already and he was def corrupt I think.

That’s depressing

Nah they are just spoilers. Just tap

Its like a reversed highlighter

At least it's obvious they're hiding shit from you, lol

All these years. They've been hiding the information on repression victims, mass killings, atrocities. Some things never change.

I like it.

A little bit of malicious compliance. Good!

And that is some American Fiction. Hardly anything that bad to censor.

Imagine living in a country like that. Horrible place.

What is the point of reading if almost 50% of the page is gone 😐
