The State Socio-Political Library (GOPB, Gosudarstvennaia obshchestvenno-politicheskaia biblioteka) was founded by the decision of the Russian Government in July 1992 on the basis of the library of the former Institute of Marxism-Leninism at the CC CPSU (IML pri TsK KPSS), which was formerly associated in 1991 with the Russian Center for Preservation and Study of Records of Modern History (RTsKhIDNI, after 1999—Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History, RGASPI, B-12). Working conditions: The Reading Room of Special Collections works 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month. |
