We must address the elephant in the room. Searching for "VK new" often implies seeking pirated content. For authors, piracy is a loss of income. However, in the case of David Gemmell (who passed away in 2006), the situation is nuanced.
For years, the Gemmell estate struggled to keep his books in print. In regions like Eastern Europe, where purchasing a physical English import could cost a week’s wages, VK became the only access point to Western fantasy.
Moreover, many fans argue that the "VK phenomenon" saved Gemmell from obscurity in Russia. When his books vanished from bookstores in the 2010s, VK groups like "Knigograd" or "Fantasy Battles" kept the legend alive. Today, thanks in part to this persistent demand, new official Russian translations are being printed. The "new" in the search query might actually signify new official releases.
