LOL!!!! That's the first thing I thought, reading the first, few, paragraphs, in this article....sounding like America's youth....in the mid-to-late 60s....getting "high"....before the whole "drug-war" started!!!!

How ironic....it's also similar to resistance to American Republicans' "war" on books!!

Ukraines Clandestine Book Club Defies Russias Push To Rewrite History
March 22, 2025

"It must be one of the most dangerous book clubs in the world. Before they can feel safe enough to talk about poetry and prose, 17-year-old Mariika (not her real name) and her friends have to first ensure all the windows are shut and check there is no one lurking by the flat’s doors.
.
Informants frequently report anyone studying Ukrainian in the occupied territories to the Russian secret police. Ukrainian textbooks have been deemed extremist – possession can carry a sentence of five years.
.
Parents who allow their children to follow the Ukrainian curriculum online can lose parental rights. Teens who speak Ukrainian at school have been known to be taken by thugs to the woods for “questioning”.
.
That is why the book club never meets with more than three people – any extra members would pose further risk of being discovered."
