I accidentally came across this article by Grigory Zaslavsky, published on March 14th, 2011. You may read it in full on the website of RIA 'Novosti', but I only wish to quote a fragment.

Grigory Zaslavsky. The place where last year there was ‘A Miracle’

I heard it in the subway: the musical ‘An Ordinary Miracle’ was closing for the season, playing only until March 27th, and here I was still getting around to going to the premiere. I kept getting around to it, but never got to it, even though I knew that it was put on by Ivan Popovski, a student of Peter Fomenko, famous for his plays that are put on stage at his teacher’s ‘Workshop’ and at the Theater on Kamburova. Oleg Glushkov was choreographer, and he was also famous for setting to dance Valery Todorovski’s movie ‘Hipsters’. He also had performances at the Strastny theater center in Moscow, as well as at the School of Dramatic Art. Now he and Mark Zakharov were finishing work on ‘Peer Gynt’ at the Lenkom — this premiere is scheduled for the end of March. Among those performing were to be Irina Lindt, Yuri Mazihin, and, by the way, many of those who worked on ‘Nord-Ost’.

And that is what this is all about.

This was reported on August 25th in The New York Times. According to Soufan's lawyer, the former agent found out from certain sources that the secret services were preventing the publication of his book because they were not satisfied with its content.

Soufan and his representative claim that the CIA demands the removal of excerpts from the text of the book, excerpts that show the agency's activities in a negative light.
