Personal Libraries of Statesmen of the 19th – early 20th Century in the Book Collection of the Military Historical Library of the General Staff
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Mon, 06/08/2026 - 17:38Personal book collections (or their parts) in the funds of military scientific libraries either have not been studied before, or have been partially considered. The Military Historical Library of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is the example of the limited knowledge on its fund and the lack of information about the availability of books from personal libraries and their composition. Its fund mainly consists of libraries of military organizations nationalized after the October Revolution, as well as more than 100 personal collections of mostly statesmen.
