Here we have some Banned Book overachievers! Not only were many classic and well-though-of Russian authors challenged or banned in their own time and/or country, but some (like Nabokov and Pasternak) were or are controversial in the U.S., too.
For a healthy dose of two of my favorite things - Pushkin and Banned Books displays, see my Russian authors Banned Books Week display from when I worked at the Kennesaw State University Library system in 2016:

Also, fun fact, Nabokov’s translation of Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin was considered the pre-eminent translation for many years.
