July 1, 2012 marks the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Russian State Library.

The Moscow Public Library (now the Russian State Library, or RSL) was founded on July 1 (June 19, old style), 1862.

The fund of the Russian State Library originates from the collection of Count Nikolai Rumyantsev (1754-1826), which included more than 28 thousand books, 710 manuscripts, more than 1000 maps. The collection belonged to the private museum of the count, created by him in St. Petersburg. After the death of Rumyantsev, his brother turned to Emperor Nicholas I with a request to accept as a gift and transfer to the government the museum and library with manuscript and book collections. By decree of the emperor, the museum became known as the Rumyantsev Museum.

The St. Petersburg period in the history of the Rumyantsev Museum and its library ended in 1861, when, on the initiative of Muscovites who wanted to organize a public library in the city, it was decided to transfer the collection to Moscow. The library was housed in a building built by the Russian architect Vasily Bazhenov next to the Kremlin at the end of the 18th century and known as the Pashkov House.

This building belongs to the library to this day. Department of Manuscripts, where 600 thousand written and graphic monuments are stored, the oldest of which date back to the 7th century. There is also a department of musical publications and sound recordings and a cartographic department.

The official founding date of the Russian State Library is July 1, 1862, when the state and budget of the library were approved by decree of Emperor Alexander II, and the receipt by the library of one obligatory copy of all printed materials published in Russia was legalized. In addition to obligatory receipts, the library fund was replenished by gifts and donations. Thus, the collection of books of the Minister of Public Education Avraam Norov donated to the library consisted of 16,000 books. This collection includes editions of Greek and Roman writers, works by Machiavelli, a one-of-a-kind collection of Giordano Bruno's lifetime editions with an autograph on one of the books, Russian scientific monographs of the first half of the 19th century - the collection is still one of the most valuable in the fund libraries.

Hundreds of collections, individual books, manuscripts came to the library from donors, among whom were the merchant and publisher Kozma Soldatenkov, scientist Fyodor Chizhov, bibliophile and musicologist Vladimir Odoevsky, Alexander Pushkin's son Alexander, Leo Tolstoy's daughter Sophia and many others.

For almost a century, from the end of the 20s of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20s of the 20th century (in the St. Petersburg and Moscow periods), the library functioned as part of a complex that kept the name of the Rumyantsev Museum unchanged in its official names.

The library of the Moscow Public and Rumyantsev Museums has become a true center of culture. Artistic works and scientific works were created in its reading rooms. The readers of the library were Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Anton Chekhov, Vladimir Korolenko.

On January 29, 1992, by decree of the President of Russia, the State Library of the USSR named after V.I. Lenin was transformed into the Russian State Library (RSL).

In the second half of the 1990s, automated bibliographic search systems began to be used in the work of the library and electronic catalogs were created.

The Russian State Library is a member of the UNESCO "Memory of the World" program, designed to protect the world's documentary heritage and, to the extent possible, provide wide access to it. In 1997, on the proposal of the RSL, several library collections and individual books recognized as world documentary heritage were included in the international register "Memory of the World": the Arkhangelsk Gospel of 1092, the Gospel of Khitrovo, Slavic editions of the Cyrillic font of the 15th century, a collection of maps of the Russian Empire of the 18th century, Russian posters of the late XIX - early XX centuries.

In 2000, the main book depository of the library was closed for reconstruction, which was connected, among other things, with the need for its technical re-equipment. In 2003, the reconstruction was completed, but this did not solve the problem of lack of space to accommodate the library fund. The possibilities of its storage facilities were already exhausted by the beginning of the 80s of the twentieth century. Since then, the library has been replenished annually with 300 - 500 thousand publications.

In 2007, the construction of a new building of the RSL was included in the list of buildings and facilities for federal needs for 2008-2010 by order of the Government of the Russian Federation.

The new building of the Russian State Library behind the main building, on Vozdvizhenka Street. Construction is expected to start this year, 2012.

Within the walls of the Russian State Library there is a unique collection of domestic and foreign documents in 367 languages of the world. The volume of the fund exceeds 43 million items. There are specialized collections of maps, notes, sound recordings, rare books, dissertations, newspapers and other types of publications.

The RSL also has an excellent canteen. Some come here just to drink tea in a warm comfortable environment. Tea costs 13 rubles, but boiling water is free, some "readers" use this. By the way, the smell in the dining room does not allow you to stay there for too long.

The ceilings are very low, once there was a case when a worker got a concussion, she was taken to the hospital.

"To study the materials of the fund (and only a small part of it - 300 books is exhibited in the museum), to flip through the pages of unique book monuments, can only be read by the reader of the RSL, who has good reasons for this. The fund contains over 100 publications - absolute rarities, about 30 books - the only in the world of copies.Here are a few more examples of museum exhibits that you can work with in this reading room: "Don Quixote" by Cervantas (1616-1617), "Candide or Optimism" by Voltaire (1759), "Moabite Notebook" (1969), Tatar poet Musa Dzhalid, written by him in the fascist prison Maobit, "The Archangel Gospel" (1092). Here are the first copies of the works of Pushkin and Shakespeare, books by the publishers Gutenberg, Fedorov, Badoni, Maurice.
