Subject of emergency alert message arrested - May 2, 2024 | SaltWire #dartmouth #update #suspectLONDON - Roberto Carnero, an Italian literature professor at the University of Bologna, was shocked when he received a call from his Italian publisher in March about the Russian translation of his new book.
The striking images of Carnero's book have thrown a spotlight on issues of government censorship in Russia at a time when the Kremlin says it is fighting an existential war with the West to defend its"traditional values". Private Russian companies such as music channels and online film distributors are routinely fined for hosting LGBT content."Please note that the text of the book has been shortened due to Federal Law 478", AST wrote in the book's online listing, referring to anti-gay propaganda legislation.
"Thus, Roberto Carnero's work has become interactive: the reader decides for himself whether to use any sources of information to find out what is hidden from him," AST wrote on its Telegram channel. The spokeswoman said the book had sold out its initial print run of 1,500 copies and a second run had been ordered.
Dan Healey, a professor emeritus of modern Russian history at St Antony's College, Oxford, said Russia's anti-gay legislation and wartime censorship laws imposed following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 have made public protest all but impossible in the country.
