Demand for Trump books in Russian libraries has increased sharply

In state libraries in a number of cities and regions of Russia, interest in books by US President Donald Trump has increased sharply in recent weeks. This was reported by Moskovsky Komsomolets on May 21, citing the state procurement portal.

It is reported that the libraries of the city of Magnitogorsk have placed an order for Trump's book "Think Like a Champion. Confessions of a Tycoon on Life and Business." Cultural institutions in Baikonur have requested his famous work "The Art of the Deal."

Interest in Trump is not limited to works by him. A library in the city of Sayansk in the Irkutsk region has turned to Alexander Nemirov's biographical book "Donald Trump. A Stranger in His Own Right," and in Chelyabinsk - to Igor Prokopenko's "Portrait of a Controversial Leader."

Similar orders have also come from Novy Urengoy, Namsky Ulus in Yakutia, and Bezhetsk in the Tver region. Library officials attribute this to Trump's victory in the 2024 US presidential election and the increased public interest in him.

Zamin.uz editorial staff continues to analyze how this trend is affecting the US political scene in the Russian public consciousness. Have you read Trump's books about his political legacy and personal experience? What did you think?
