Novosti reports that books in Russia are being published at huge rates, but buyers aren't buying. At the Moscow book fair, new titles of all kinds are available, but sales have been stagnant; the article blames lack of reading youths, the internet, and general oversaturation....sound familiar, USA? This article could just as easily have been written at an American book fair, but it does go into greater detail about what is selling, rather than what's going wrong: fantasy novels, things on TV, the classics, and history books sell the best in Russia.
