История становления библиотечной системы Танну – Тувинской Народной Республики (1921–1944 гг.)

Abstract

By the time of the creation of the Tuvan People’s Republic in 1921, libraries of Buddhist monasteries and the Russian population already existed on its territory. Since 1922, libraries have also been created through the executive committee of the Russian Self-governing Labor Colony. At the end of the 1920s, the organization of political educational institutions began, the system of which included mobile libraries, as well as stationary ones designed to popularize printed publications and reading among Tuvan Arats. On the eve of the TNR’s accession to the Soviet Union in October 1944, the number of local libraries reached 47: the State Library, the libraries of the Scientific Committee and the State Museum, four Khoshun-district and some others.
