About the National Library of Russia
The National Library of Russia stands in Saint Petersburg; among Russia's three national public libraries, it is the oldest. Its collection is the second largest in Russia, and it serves as the All-Russian center for information, research and culture. Throughout its history it has aimed to collect the nation's printed output comprehensively and to keep its collections freely accessible.
Catherine the Great established the Imperial Public Library in 1795. Its core was the Załuski Library, a famous Polish national collection that Bishop Załuski had built in Warsaw and the Russians seized in 1794, after Poland was partitioned. A site was found where Nevsky Avenue meets Sadovaya Street, in the center of the imperial capital. Construction began at once; the Neoclassical building was designed by Yegor Sokolov and built between 1796 and 1801.
The library was to open to the public in 1812, but the most valuable collections were evacuated during Napoleon's invasion, so its inauguration came two years later. In 1810 Russia's first library law won Alexander I's approval; under it, every piece of printed matter in the country had to be deposited in two copies. It stayed open through the Siege of Leningrad and in 1939 won the Red Banner of Labour decoration.
