Talk:Censorship in the Soviet Union

message: "Vladimir Lenin believed that literature and art could be exploited for ideological and political as well as educational purposes."
Exploited is a totally unsuitable word for a supposedly unbiased article. I have changed this to:
"Vladimir Lenin believed that literature and art could be used for ideological and political as well as educational purposes." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.12.213.54 (talk • contribs) 01:15, 3 August 2006
:I removed the entired paragraph. Besides being badly written (ie It mentions a "belief" held by V.I. Lenin, but gives no idea as to why this is important to the subject matter) it used as a single source a non-reliable/verifiable source (the Library of Congress).--Cerejota 18:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that this page should be merged with Censorship of images in the Soviet Union, because that deal with the same subject and use the same pictures for emphasis. They are just separate views of the subject that would be better off supplementing each other than being separate articles. --69.94.169.40 (talk) 19:53, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No merge Cnesorship of photo is a separate, well-defined subtopic of a general censorship theme, {which is poorly covered here} . 03:02, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

message: "There were cases of literary hoaxes, when authors imagined a translated source. Poet Vladimir Lifschitz, for instance, imagined some British poet James Clifford, died 1944 in Western Front, whose translations he published, though it was his own verses", says the article. But Vladimir Lifschitz's son Lev Losev mentioning this situation says in "Упорная жизнь Джемса Клиффорда: возвращение одной мистификации" http://magazines.russ.ru/zvezda/2001/1/losev.html, "И тут Владимиру Лифшицу повезло. Он наткнулся на поэтическое наследие своего погодка, англичанина Джемса Клиффорда. Погибший на фронте в 1944 году Клиффорд с большой точностью и с недоступной советскому поэту свободой выразил в своих стихах как раз те переживания, которые всё не находили адекватного выхода в творчестве моего отца. Он мастерски перевел двадцать стихотворений Джемса Клиффорда. Ключевым было, несомненно, стихотворение “Отступление в Арденнах”. Thus the poet James Clifford killed in action in 1944 was NOT a hoax! Only some of "his" poems as published in Lifschitz's translations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.118.78.103 (talk) 20:18, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
