Well, there's no need to talk about things you don't know. I have books that are reprints from 1988. And The Silmarillion was published officially.

- Well, that's not exactly the Soviet period. Besides, I immediately said that I don't know much about this history; I'm just expressing my opinion and sharing information from various sources that I've heard about from time to time.
I didn't say anywhere that you can find the truth now.
Regarding The Silmarillion - it's strange, because every time I've heard about it, people have talked about it being samizdat, along with the second and third parts of The Lord of the Rings, and in 1988, The Hobbit and the first part appeared.
