This is a strange article.

The first book discussed, Baba Yaga, isn't even Soviet, it was published in France by an organization that could be described as anti-soviet if you look at it's history.

The second book, is claimed to be non-revolutionary, for some reason. Labeling a mosque as a "museum" is the result of fairly standard communist dogma. Not sure how that's "breaking the rules of propaganda". It is in fact propaganda.

Publishers of Baba Yaga, indeed, seem to be so much against the Soviets that they even use pre-1918 Russian orthography just because the switch to the new one happened after the Revolution despite it being prepared by the Imperial Academy of Sciences long before that.
