Russian/Soviet popularity

JL was very popular in the Soviet Union (cf., e.g., Langley, Diane, "Jack London, His Literature and Its Reception in the Soviet Union" (1982). Senior Independent Study Theses. Paper 2703. https://openworks.wooster.edu/independentstudy/2703; https://www.seattletimes.com/life/travel/why-russians-flock-to-jack-londons-california-ranch-100-years-after-his-death/) and one of the most widely read novelists of all time. I suggest his "fame" in the USSR be mentioned. Kdammers ( talk) 01:15, 6 August 2023 (UTC) reply
