I agree too. Elif Batuman has an excellent article on a recent New Yorker about Pushkinpad and efforts to ban Russian books. Rereading Russian Classics in the Shadow of the Ukraine Warhttps://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/01/30/rereading-russian-classics-in-the-shadow-of-the-ukraine-war

Great article calling our attention to what's going on. I'm going to look for that New Yorker article. Why do people keep coming back to the practice of banning books? It's a terrible idea and has never really worked--no matter how difficult the language problems may be.
