There is no point in treating Europe, with or without Russia, as a single category. Book tastes are quite different per country. E.g. in the current bestseller list in the Netherlands, 6 out of the top 10 books are by Dutch authors that are not read anywhere else in the world (and that is not because they're worse than authors from other parts of the world - we have some great writers!). Even between the Netherlands and the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium book tastes are quite different even though we share the language.
