Soviet Union ban
I can't find any references, either in English or in Russian, that confirm the alleged ban of "The Adventures" in the Soviet Union. At least two stories from the collection ("The Red-Headed League" and "The Blue Carbuncle") were printed in Russian during 1930's and 1940's, and the complete collection was printed as part of the classic Russian-language eight volume collection of Conan Doyle's works in 1966.

It is true that at least some of the Conan Doyle's works were censored in Russian, partly because of his infatuation with occultism (in particular, "The Valley of Fear" was only printed in abridged form, some stories from "The Case-Book" were rarely printed, "The Mystery of Cloomber" was only printed once, and "The Valley of Mist" was not available at all till 1990's), but "The Adventures" probably weren't affected. --Itinerant1 (talk) 21:17, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
