Russian/Soviet popularity[edit]

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]
