The leadership of Eksmo, the largest publishing house in the Russian Federation, was hauled in with Gestapo politeness.

Bastrykin’s people smiled and hinted at “lenient sentences” (about five to eight years) and the proper confiscation of property acquired by the criminal means of publishing books.

After all, making books is a grave crime. The time has come to answer for this sin before the Russian world and its people.

In short, the editorial office was gutted, and Eksmo’s directorate was taken away to have a little sit “on the bottles.”

Four Eksmo executives were taken for questioning in an extremism case over the release of improper literature

The publishing house’s press service confirmed that Eksmo CEO Yevgeny Kapyev and a number of other employees were taken to the Investigative Committee for questioning, as part of investigative actions in a criminal case on extremism (distribution of books by the publishing house Popcorn Books)

It became known that the publishing house’s CEO Yevgeny Kapyev is suspected of organizing an extremist community (Article 282.2 of the Criminal Code, maximum punishment: 8 years’ imprisonment).

Shaking in the police van, the publishers swallowed tears of resentment and thought about Vaseline.

They obediently kept silent about the war and blossoming fascism. They sometimes submissively printed Prilepin’s Special Military Operation drivel and thought they had bought themselves off from the deranged Kremlin.

The directors were sure that by keeping silent on dangerous topics they would secure themselves life, comfort, and in general would adapt to the rules of Hades.

No chance.

Fascism has to be fed human flesh every day.

And the flesh of book makers is especially tasty to it.

Four publishing executives were taken for questioning in an extremism case over books.

Silence did not count as payment.
