Marketplace «Megamarket» decided to remove from its assortment of books included in the list of restrictions related to the law banning propaganda of LGBT (extremist movement banned in Russia).
The list, which includes more than 250 works, covers the works of such famous authors as Plato, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Stephen King, Paulo Coelho, Oscar Wilde and many others, RIA Novosti reported.
Representatives of the company confirmed the existence of the list and explained that it was compiled in December 2022 on the initiative of the Association of Internet Trade Companies (AKIT) with the participation of all participants of the book market. This happened in light of the adoption of the law banning LGBT propaganda in various spheres, including the Internet, media, books and other sources of information.
In the ACIT itself called the list of such books real, but assured that now it is not relevant and has nothing to do with reality, writes "RIA Novosti".
