Abstract

The present article is dedicated to the history of the formation of the library of the Institute of World Literature in the 1930s. The library was established in Moscow on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the literary activity of Maxim Gorky (1868-1936) and later Oriental manuscripts were added to it. In this article, the author describes the fate of the manuscripts kept in this library and reveals the transfer of the manuscript to the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg) and the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow). However, the fate of many oriental manuscripts (Arabic, Persian, Turkish) of this library is unknown.
