This video fascinated me. Great job at holding my attention. I now have much food for thought. It’s a frightening thing to hear about banned books. It should never be.
If you want to understand how it is happening to us and how it happened to the Soviets and Nazi’s, I highly recommend you read “The Psychology of Totalitarianism “ by Mattias Desmet. It is very illuminating to what is happening in the world today.
It is sad, but in USSR in the generation of 60s, there were “samizdat” - illegally printed copies of banned literature - and if you were caught with the copies of it you could lose your job or even imprisoned. You can read bigraphies and memoirs of people of that generation, Ulitskaya for example

It's good that you share this part of Soviet history with people in the English-speaking world. Your video is well done.
Thank you, my friend, try my best

True🙏
Have read that the play, Hamlet was never allowed to be performed during Stalin's era.
Yep, a lot of stuff was banned, even not so obvious
Amazing content
Thank you!)
I’m not sure, but I think the book called ”We” also inspired Ayn Rand’s book “Anthem”
I wont't be surprised, if it's true.
@@miketyulpakov they are both great books far more valuable than the short time it takes to read them.
Zamyatin wrote his novel in 1920s, "Anthem" -- after 1930. )))
It's happening here now
Yes, it is. The next video will be about current situation in Russia

NOBODY WERE SENT TO JAIL JUST FOR READING THOSE BOOKS! Lies! Lies! Lies!

For "GULAG Archipelago" you actually COULD get a prison term. Sad but true.
