@blindXfish the thing with Soviet Union and Russia is that charges are chosen almost at random depending on a person and the time context of the year charges were pressed. So it's impossible to define now what charge would be pressed back then should this book be discovered.
-
@OmerFlame literature supported by the capitalist class who own most of society's wealth and means of production and who wants to prevent the revolution of the working class by seeding antirevolutionary thoughs, and porn.
-
@OmerFlame literature that criticizes or disagrees with the regimen
-
@kiki What did your grandma write about the Soviet Union then?
-
@OmerFlame nothing. Yet, dissident poets did, and sympathizing them, including self-publishing, was a no-go
-
@OmerFlame to be honest, I really envy your country. Benjamin Netanyahu ruled for so long, yet was retired so democratically, without riots and revolution. I’ve been to Tel-Aviv and it’s so beautiful
@OmerFlame wanted to see more of Soviet pirate stuff, so there you go buddy. This is an example of Samizdat (“self-publishing”) — Soviet people made books of dissident literature that was forbidden in the Soviet Union.
This very book was made by my grandma, with lace fabric cover and sheets cut evenly with care and precision. Everything was typed on a typewriter, yes, the thing that renders the whole page useless with one mistype, as there is no backspace key.
This book dated 1975, the poetry of Nikolay Gumilyov.
