Yeah but what's the likelihood that an order like that by Stalin would be documented so explicitly if at all? What one would want to corroborate is the "the main reaction", which I presume to be the general public reaction, which back in those times would more likely be word of mouth, especially in such an information suppressing society?
- pessimizer 4y ago> Yeah but what's the likelihood that an order like that by Stalin would be documented so explicitly if at all? That's what makes it look suspicious when stated as fact. I could imagine it being in someone's memoir, though, but the anecdote wasn't attributed to a person.
- emodendroket 4y agoHow exactly could a ban be carried out if none of the functionaries were aware the book was supposed to be banned? I would presume there would have to be a list of materials and probably a reason for their being banned for a bureaucracy to manage this kind of censorship.
