    Very interessting video!
    I think it would be helpful for people new to these books to have the title of these books displayed in the video or in the description as it can be hard to know how some of them are spelled.

      @@thursday6083 Thank you!
      And yes, that’s a very good point! I realized that I should have done that after I’ve already posted the video, but I will definitely do it for the next one.
      For now, I’ll add all the names of the books and the authors into the description of the video :)

    I did enjoy this! "We" has been on my tbr for a while. The Master and Margerita and Dr Zhivago have been in my long term plans but you are making me want to put them in the forefront.
    Perfume by Patrik Süskind is next on my list but I don't know if it was Soviet era or banned.

      Thank you!
      “We” was very hard for me to read. I was reading it when I was 15-16, and I think I didn’t understand a lot. And the language was harder than I expected. I want to try reading it again and see if anything changed.
      As for Dr Zhivago, it’s been in my plans for a very long time too! I’m hoping to read it this year.
      Absolutely try reading Master and Margarita! I think you will really enjoy it! And, since I’m rereading it now, maybe I’ll make a video about it in the future. I really want to do it at some point!

      ​@dpelpal the US has a bunch of banned books in local libraries done by right wing activists the federal government doesn't do it but it doesn't mean it isn't being done to some extent

      @@juanperret7044 Any book is available at any library, any time, through interlibrary loan. Just because a library doesn't have a book on the shelf doesn't mean it isn't available there.
      And America has a real military, not a joke like russia. And we have toilets lol
