Oleg!
Great work. I cringe from the USSR symbols as much as from Nazi symbols. Unfortunately de-communization never happened.
Small correction about the dates of Russian publications. I went googling because I remember reading 1984 in Russian before I left USSR in the fall of 1989, i.e. before its collapse. So, thanks to Gorbachev’s Glasnost’.
First publication in USSR, in the Literaturnaya Gazeta , May of 1988: http://www.orwell.ru/library/novels/1984/lit_gaz/
