Moscow authorities sparked controversy by prohibiting the sale of 252 books under the pretext of combating LGBTQ+ propaganda.

Among the banned titles are works by esteemed authors across generations, such as Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Oscar Wilde, Haruki Murakami, and Stephen King.

The surprising disclosure, first brought to light by journalist Alexander Plyushchev and subsequently verified by Russian online book vendors, has triggered anger and criticism both at home and abroad. This action highlights the increasing control of censorship and oppression under the Kremlin’s authority, novinite.com reports.
