An independent Russian media outlet states libraries in Moscow have actually gotten a list of books they need to remove their racks. They consist of works by Japanese authors Murakami Haruki and Yoshimoto Banana.
Meduza priced quote a social networks post by a literary critic stating the list was dispersed to libraries in the Russian capital last Friday.
Amongst the 53 works by Russian and foreign authors are Murakami’s “Sputnik Sweetie” and Yoshimoto’s “Lizard.”
A few of the books include sexual minorities.
Meduza recommends the relocation is connected to the choice by Russian authorities previously this month to tighten up controls on those who accept LGBTQ and other “non-traditional relationships” in works and on the Web.
Another Russian media report states a Moscow city authorities rejected learning about the list or the premises for the social networks post.
