Banned Books in the Lenin Library

Abstract

Spending a few days in Moscow in September 1958, I tried to find out to what extent books by some of the principal condemned writers and politicians of the 1920s are available in the Lenin Library; to find out in practice, that is, not merely by general enquiry, but by requesting to be supplied with certain books for reading in the Library. This brief account is based entirely on a few days' personal work in the Library, and any generalized implications may well be not completely accurate.
