Mark Twain censorship?

[Hugh McLean]

My late friend Valerij Aleksandrov, a sotrudnik at the Institut mirovoj 
literatury in Moscow, published several articles on Mark Twain in 
Russia, though I think mostly 19th and early 20th-century contacts. 
Unfortunately, I don't have the references; perhaps they can be obtained 
with some search engine.

The Mark Twain archive is housed here at Berkeley, and they might 
possibly be able to help you.  The director's address is  
hirst at library.berkeley.edu

I recall an amusing tidbit. In V. Kataev's 5-year-plan novel  Vremja 
vpered! there is a reference to "tvenovskie babushki." The translator 
did not understand the reference and the translation was published with 
a mysterious "Tvenov grandmothers" left unexplained.
