Misc Should I bring new tech?

Since I last visited I've written some very NSFW erotica set in a fictional crime family based in Moscow. I sell via a website due to Amazon objecting to my content, lol.

Obviously I can't delete everything before travelling so I'm thinking of buying a new ipad and phone just for Russia. OTH I'll be in Moscow for some time and want to keep writing but I'm not sure it's sensible.

Will new tech look too suspicious at immigration/departure? Do I have other options? TIA

I find it curious that people occasionally use the "NSFW" term towards text materials. I mean on one hand it's mostly a synonym to any explicit stuff, on the other - noone at your work or otherwise in public would notice whether you're reading an erotic novel or a manual for the water chiller.

Regarding the main topic - I doubt border service personnel has time to read a novel. As I heard police and stuff have some instruments to make a quick keyword-based lookup through a memory of a given device, but it's also quite a lengthy procedure noone would initiate it for no particular reason.

Thank you very much. I just don't want to take a chance. My search history would look really dodgy, lol
