T-ough Press

Last updated

T-ough Press is a "subterranean" publishing house based in the southern suburbs of Moscow. It was established by Alex Kervey. [1] [2]

Kervey started the business when he found he could not get his own translations published. Existing publishers had either never heard of such writers as Hunter S Thompson, or found the material offensive. He has used young translators in their twenties to publish a range of texts from Western Europe and America, such as:

In 2006 T-ough Press faced prosecution for publishing Home's Come Before Christ and Murder Love and White's Road Rage!/Satan! Satan! Satan!. They were accused of pornography and insulting Christian values. [3] Their premises were also fire bombed. This has been ascribed to fascists. The National Bolsheviks have taken particular exception to Blow Job which satirises their blend of right-left politics. Legal and political pressure has also delayed the appearance of Home's Tainted Love and Slow Death.
