Martyrdom holds no attraction for those who appreciate nothing greater than the joys of living. And fortunately, most of us belong to this group. The rest of the world lives for beliefs, mostly religious beliefs, and for them the instructions of their denominations are stronger than common sense.
The question sounds astonishing to me -- take into consideration the fact that I am a novelist. Why would anyone want to learn or escape when he or she decides to read? I am not talking about the books that promise to teach you HOW to lose weight, or HOW to travel cheap in Europe, or HOW to fix things in your house. When you say the word BOOK to me, I think of fiction. Especially when we are deliberating about what books we would enjoy reading during our vacation.
This question cannot be answered without a precise knowledge of the Russian system of law and extradition rules. Since I am not familiar with the judicial system in the Russia of today, my answer is quite simple. Their law certainly has a regulation about cases like that. And the Russian prosecutors and police should simply comply with the related rules.
