Fan translation link removed by anon

I think anon is correct this is not encyclopedic material:

An English version appeared in December 2022.

Until this fact is discussed in RS. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:14, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

See the talk page for Piotrus, where I scrupulously prove that this is in fact the official English version. To repeat myself: That translation has been endorsed by Yeskov and links to the official site on which his works are published. It is taken from his official publication page: http://fan.lib.ru/e/eskov/. (It is the middle link in the fourth bullet section from the top, the one that has the word PDF in it.) You made a mistake. Furthermore, just in case if for some reason you have doubts that that is his official publication page, here is a reference confirming that statement: https://fantlab.ru/autor385 (scroll down a bit).

I guess Piotrus is getting fatally confused by the presence of the word fan in the domain name. But that's because it's a (heavily moderated) hosting service + forums for the *authors* to publish and interact with their fans (and Eskov regularly checks and responds to comments there), not for *fans* to publish their unauthorized fan translations, which is I guess what he or that anon was thinking. Use Google translate (on all the links I gave) to look around and see what's going on yourself if you find this insufficiently convincing!
