Russian Publisher Censors Soviet Novel, Removing Text Used in 'Dalles Plan' Conspiracy

AST Publishing House released a new edition of Anatoly Ivanov's 'Vechniy Zov' without a monologue by character Arnold Lakhnovsky, which was previously cited in the 'Dalles Plan'—a fabricated CIA document from the 1990s. The removal, flagged by literary blogger Yana Karachina, suggests deliberate censorship of content tied to a conspiracy theory, possibly to avoid political controversy. This is a notable cultural-political event in Russia, reflecting ongoing state sensitivity to historical narratives.
