Rave and lies

firstly, there was no ban on the book, since it was published only in 1990 and already at the time of the policy of perestroika and glasnost, Eduard Topol is not the author of the book and in general did not even live in the USSR at that moment and this was not the first Soviet Soviet book about corruption, many books devoted to the topic of corruption had already been published before it, I’m not even saying that the cotton business was started back in 1983 under Andropov, that is, even before Gorbachev’s perestroika, not to mention the fact that the book clearly exaggerated the level of corruption in Uzbekistan and its influence on the party leadership under Brezhnev, Brezhnev and Rashid Sharidovich, most likely did not know about corruption cases, but did not directly participate in them, and in Russia itself the book is mostly forgotten and most Russians are rather positive about the Brezhnev period and what is the importance of this article for the English Wikipedia, why then there is no article about such a clearly more important event https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A0%D0%B0%D1%88%D0% B8%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B2,_%D0%A8%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%84_%D0%A0%D0%B0%D1%88%D0% B8%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87 193.108.118.26 (talk) 17:33, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
