The demand for books by children’s writer Grigory Oster on the website of the federal library chain “Read-Gorod” increased by about 40 times against the backdrop of the order of the head of the Russian Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin to check the collection “Harmful advice.” This was stated in the network’s press service on Wednesday, April 29.
“The demand for author’s books has grown sharply and continues to increase: over the past week, sales have increased 7.6 times compared to the previous week, including six times offline, and about 40 times online,” the report says.
Representatives of the bookstore chain indicated that we are talking about hundreds of copies sold over the past few days. In addition, over the past week, the number of search queries on the topic on the store’s website has increased 10 times. Among the best-selling books were the books “Bad Advice” published by the publishing houses “Malish” and “AST”. TASS.
Alexander Bastrykin ordered the examination of Gregory Oster’s books on Tuesday, April 21, because his works contain “questions that are questionable from a pedagogical point of view.”
