Russian propaganda processes residents of occupied Donbass not only by using TV. Book impacts to wash brains are coming in complex.
There is how ‘fiction’, suggested to pseudo-republic inhabitants, is described by journalist Nikita Sinitsyn, forcedly left occupied Horlovka, but monitoring it, using own connections on captured territory:
‘Not only TV feeds mental needs of self-proclaimed ‘DPR’ residents. The net of book-shops ‘Mir knigi’ (The book world) is opened in ‘republic’ except Russian TV-channels’.
In general, pre-war rest is selling out, but there is also fresh literature, mainly for kids and schoolbooks.
Propagandist literature, in which also works of Oles Buzina are included in ‘DPR’, stands apart.
Books, dedicated to Novorossiya – of course, Zakhar Prilepin is without a rival and also literature, dedicated to possibility of RF to ‘turn USA in radiation ash’, presented mainly by books of Russian Ren-TV channel presenter Igor Prokopenko.
There are also ‘Novaya zemlya’ (New lands) magazines, last time they’re issued with faces of died Motorola and Givi. Such literature is surely placed on the opposite stand, which must be seen well to shop visitors. The fulfillment of this requirement is checked by special people.
Price – the most expensive books are Zakhar Prilepin’s. They cost 500 rubles (~$8). The rest are cheaper.
‘Novaya zemlya’ magazine of the Youth information agency ‘Novorossiya’ costs more than 100 rubles (~$1.62)’.
