However, Russians also produced children writing as well and covered this genre wonderfully like the work done by the Korney Chukovsky, Samuil Marshak, Agnia Barto, etc. and the poetry on “adult” genre is not ignorable as well. The work of Sergey Mikhalkov is appraisable in this field. However, the censor had to work a lot while printing such material.
