Disturbing.
The Kremlin is creating an environment of uncertainty and fear, based on arbitrary punishment. The aim, in the publishing industry and beyond, is to promote self-censorship and eliminate dissenting speech.

Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians.
There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.
