“Here the dead live and the dumb speak” - this is the expression that is suitable for the Russian State Library ( ex Name Lenin) - the largest library in Russia. Created on the basis of the library of the famous former diplomat Rumyantsev, it has a unique collection of domestic and foreign invaluable documents, books, manuscripts, maps in many languages ​​of the world.

Let's take a short tour. In the first hall we can see filing cabinets, which are a kind of database for a collection of maps, notes and sound recordings of great composers and musicians (including broadcasts from “ Leningrad Symphony” Shestakovich, first heard in 1941 in besieged Leningrad), rare handwritten books, as well as dissertations and newspapers.

Here, the polite library staff will always be happy to help you find required document. With the help of modern electronic databases, which are now beginning to “displace” filing cabinets, this process takes less than a minute. So, we found out which hall we need to go to, and we move on.

The next “stop” will be the Research Department of Rare Books, where there are archival cabinets containing the rarest handwritten books such as the Gospels of the Times Kievan Rus, in the rare books department - the first editions of the works of N. Copernicus, the archives of N. V. Gogol, A. S. Pushkin, A. P. Chekhov, A. A. Blok, L. N. Tolstoy (the same one with whose help he worked on “War and Peace”), etc.

This department is regularly visited by future candidates and doctors of historical, psychological, humanities and other sciences when they are working on dissertations.

In the newspaper collection located nearby, we can see well-worn accounting cabinets in which files of newspapers and magazines famous in the past are stored: “Russian Truth”, “Russian Invalid”, “Komsomolskaya Pravda”, etc. We especially liked the issue of the Pravda newspaper dated May 10, 1945, with portraits of Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill on the main page.

The main collection of the library, the so-called The “main reading room” contains more than 35 million books and magazines. It is the key repository of document collections. The fund was formed on the basis of the collection principle.

Of particular value are private book collections of famous historical characters. Among the most significant are the collections of Rumyantsev, Veltman, Sheremetyev, Chaadaev, Norov, empresses Alexandra Feodorovna and Catherine II ( full meeting works of Diderot and Voltaire, with whom the Empress was personally familiar).

Employees of this department told us that in the dashing 90s, not only ours, but also foreign collectors repeatedly tried to buy them for fabulous money. Unfortunately, some part of this fund was stolen after the collapse of the USSR and since then nothing has been known about these lost books.

For almost 200 years of history, the Russian State Library has been awarded the Order of Lenin - highest award USSR, as well as the medal “Symbol of Science”
