QUERY: Samizdat translation of LO?
From

Body
Dear members,
I recently came across a couple of scholarly references to a translation of
Nabokov's Lolita that was produced by an anonymous translator and
circulated in samizdat. This text seems to have vanished by now. I was
wondering if you happen to know anything about this translation (although I
have to admit, I am beginning to suspect that it never existed in the first
place). I am at my wits' end as to where to look for it, any help would be
much appreciated!
