Methinks there should be an list of works banned by Glavlit. Notable works like Zamyatin's We. --24.51.94.14

Isn't the image at the head of the article a bit biased, no matter how "good" it is? I am no supporter of censorship and agree with the general sentiment of the picture, but to push the anti-censorship pov might be a bit much. This would be like writing an article about the slaughter of cows and then putting up a picture of a cow and her calves in a green pasture. 118.90.27.168 (talk) 08:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your comparison is incorrect. In your analogy, the image is actually the image of cows slaughtered in the article slaughterhouse. At the same time you were right to delete the image: it was misplaced and belongs to Censorship in the Soviet Union, since Esenin was banned directly by Party decisions, not by Goskomizdat and the more not by Glavlit, which had different business. `'Míkka>t 18:43, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
Sticktly speaking, the women in uniform are not Glavlit; they only follow instructions of Glavlit. But I liked the picture...Biophys (talk) 22:03, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
