Brisk sales of the new edition (http://www.retropublishing.com) of
Pushkin's Secret Journal 1836-1837
(http://www.mipco.com/win/pushrus.html) were halted in St.
Petersburg's major book store Dom Knigi (House of Books) when
Pushkinskii Dom (The Institute of Russian Literature) had demanded to
stop selling Secret Journal. Dom Knigi had to submit to the demand of
the most influential organization in charge of the official Pushkin's
image preservation.
This is one of the examples how freedom of press is being suppressed
in Russia recently. Fortunately, this book is available in some other
Russian bookstores as well as in the US (http://www.petropol.com)
