Glukhovsky announced the restriction of access to his novel by Yandex and Litres

Writer Dmitry Glukhovsky (recognized as a foreign agent) reported that the Yandex and Liters platforms have limited access to his novel “Post.” As Kommersant was convinced, access to this novel was also limited by the Bookmate service.

“Yandex and Liters removed my novel Post from the search results. It’s clear why – so far we are moving along the plot of “Post”, like clockwork,” wrote Dmitry Glukhovsky on the social network X (ex-Twitter).

The novels “Lent” and “Lent 2” are set in the Moscow Empire after Russia collapsed due to civil war. The first part of the science fiction novel was published in 2019.

Litres representative in a comment to the Brief Telegram channel reportedthat the books by Dmitry Glukhovsky were withdrawn from sale by the copyright holder Everbook LLC in the spring due to the expiration of the rights under the contract in April.

In October 2022, the Ministry of Justice recognized Dmitry Glukhovsky as a foreign agent. In August of this year, the court sentenced the writer in absentia to eight years in prison in the case of fakes about the Russian army due to an anti-war post on Instagram (owned by the extremist Meta, banned in the Russian Federation) and announced he is on the federal wanted list. Now Dmitry Glukhovsky does not live in Russia.
