Russian Publishers Ordered to Interrogate Authors

XMO publishing house announced that authors Evgenia and Roman are required to appear for interrogation by investigators on April 27. Russian authorities are investigating publishers for the alleged distribution of books deemed extremist by the Supreme Court. The investigation focuses on whether publishers knowingly sold materials categorized as LGBT extremism. Authorities are seeking to prove conscious involvement in the distribution of these materials. This requirement applies to any literary work mentioned in connection with such substances, regardless of the specific technical context. The new regulations are being implemented following recent legal shifts in the country. Large electronic publishing houses are expected to be the primary entities managing these compliance checks.
