Russian books targeted by thieves in French libraries. Original books by great Russian writers have been stolen and replaced by imitations in European libraries.
The National Library of France was also the victim of these usurpations last January. On the Russian market, an original Pushkin book can cost up to 100,000 euros. “It’s really sad for readers who will no longer be able to see the originals in certain libraries,” laments Aglae Achechova.
