We publish a letter from representatives of the scientific, teaching and library community in the defense of the State Social and Political Library (former library of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism at the CPSU Central Committee), which, in order to “optimize” the Ministry of Culture, decided to join the State Public Historical Library. This decision, according to the authors of the letter, can lead to the disappearance of GOPB as the largest collection of funds (including archival) and literature on the history of social movements and political parties in Russia and Europe. The letter contains a requirement to suspend the order of the order to eliminate GOPB and conduct a wide public discussion of both the current situation and the ways of turning the GOPB into a specialized research center. Those who want to put their signatures under this letter can write to Zagopb @ Rambler . ru (full name - fully, scientific degree and title (if any), position and place of work) or leave your comment on the site “University Solidarity”, where this letter is also published http://unisolidarity.ru/?p=866#comment

Open letter in defense of the State Social and Political Library

President of the Russian Federation
V.V. Putin

Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation
D.A. Medvedev

Chairman of the State Duma
Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation
S.E. Naryshkin

Chairman of the Federation Council
Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation
V.I. Matvienko

On April 12, 2013, an order was issued by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation No. 376 “On the reorganization of the Federal State Budgetary Institution of Culture“ State Social and Political Library ”and the Federal State Budgetary Institution of Culture“ State Public Library of Russia ”in the form of joining GOPB to GPI as a structural unit.” The order was signed by the acting Minister G.P. Ivliev.

In fact, we are talking about the elimination of the largest socio-political library of Russia, which has unique funds of world significance, and its absorption by another library. But in the order the word “liquidation” is not used, it is “only” about the termination of the GOPB as a legal entity.

Every acquaintance with the organization of library business understands that in this way the library as a single organism, as a historically established set of collections and funds, in itself, is a monument of history and culture, will be irrevocably destroyed.

The current state socio-political library, which “in order to optimize the structure of subordinate institutions of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation” is liquidated by the heads of the Ministry of Culture, historically formed on the basis of the libraries of the Institute of K. Marx and F. Engels (IME), founded in 1921, and the Institute of Lenin (IL), created in 1923, which later entered the History with its book funds. In 1931, by the decision of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, the aforementioned institutions merged and the Unified Institute of Marx-Engels-Lenin was created at the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (B.) (IMEL), and his library was recognized as the Central Book of the Party. After the closing of IML at the end of 1991 The library managed to maintain its independent status, and on July 15, 1992, by order of the Government of the Russian Federation , the library was called the “State Social and Political Library”, it received the status of the federal library under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.

In 1921, the first books for the library were acquired abroad by buying the best private libraries on the history of socialism, for which more than 125 thousand rubles were allocated. gold. At present, its funds have more than 2.5 million storage units and include unique collections such as “T. Mauter's library on the history of socialism”, “From the Archive and Library of the Bund”, “Mazerinades (journalistic works in France from Frontsa (1648-1653).”, “Collection on the history of the 1st of the French Revolution”,, “Collection on the history of the French Revolution”, “Collection on the history of the French Revolution”, “D. Makkoy on anarchism”, “Library named after Kuklin in Berlin”, “London -reader”, founded by A.L. Teplov in 1898, part of the Lozann library of V.A. Rubakin, “Collection of student leaflets” of the end of the 20th century, “Personal Library of I. Stalin”, etc. The essence of the case, which puts the GOPB on a par with such scientific institutions of a new type as the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam and the Guaurian Institute for the Study of War, Revolution and the World.

The heads of the Ministry of Culture once again demonstrate their incompetence and irresponsibility, making such decisions in the Cloarrynas, without public discussion. Moreover, they contradict themselves, because in December 2012 the Ministry of Culture adopted the “Concept of Development of the GOPB”, which, in particular, said the need to “revise the disposal of the minimum permissions from 2002 and fix the integral complex of premises with their own life support system and part of the land plot. Optimal-the construction of a new building ”, to prepare“ Nominations on behalf of the Russian Federation to include the library collections in the UNESCO International Register “Memory of the World”, to create a “research center based on the library” in order to “disclose and introduce into scientific and public circulation relevant that meet the modern realities and needs of the library collection”. The document also noted that “GOPB has real prospects to turn into a serious research center for a comprehensive study of the socio-political history of Russia, Europe and North America and provide scientific and methodological assistance in conducting diverse research and scientific and practical events.”

What should have happened over these 4 months so that the leadership of the Ministry of Culture decided to eliminate the library, the collections of which was going to nominate for inclusion in the UNESCO International Register? And why, in a situation where society is concerned about the preservation of historical memory, the leadership of the Ministry of Culture actually destroy one of its most important centers under the “optimization” sauce? We demand a suspension of the order of the order to eliminate GOPB and the conduct of a wide public discussion of both the current situation and the ways of turning the GOPB into a specialized research center, similar to the International Institute for Social History in Amsterdam and the Giverovsky Institute, especially since even now, according to experts, the library’s wealth and uniqueness is not inferior to them.
