Private Libraries of Russia

Private book collections from the 18th and 19th centuries are an integral part of Russian and global culture. Each of these libraries is a unique testament not only to the taste of their owners, but also to a particular historical period, and they serve as a crucial repository of the generations' spiritual heritage.

At present, it is particularly important to return to cultural values from the past and appreciate the centuries-long history of our nation. Personal libraries, as a part of Russian culture, play a significant role in this process.
