Russian writer announced the withdrawal of her dystopia from stores

Russian writer Olga Ptitseva confirmed information about the withdrawal of her books from stores. She wrote about this in her Telegram channel.

Ptitseva noted that the books of the dystopian dilogy “The Two Hundred and Third Day of Winter,” which were included in the RKN register of prohibited information, actually began to be withdrawn from sale. However, she added that she herself was fine.

“Darlings, it’s true about the seizure of the DTDZ, but I’m fine. Hugs to everyone,” Olga wrote.

Ptitseva’s novels take place in a country where the “Cold Party” has declared eternal winter. She is opposed by the resistance group "Thaw".

A number of Telegram channels suggested that the reason for the ban on the author’s books could be signs of LGBT propaganda (the international LGBT public movement is recognized as extremist and is banned in the Russian Federation). However, the reason for the ban has not been officially announced.
