Police Seize Anti-Putin Books

The St. Petersburg police seized 100,000 copies of the book “Putin. The Results. 10 Years on”, authored by opposition politicians Boris Nemtsov and Vladimir Milov; the police claimed that the shipping documents were "faulty." As a result of the seizure, the book, which is highly critical of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s activities, is unlikely to be handed out at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum as originally intended.
