About This Item
According to 'every-day' changes in history the Soviet government implemented mass destruction of pre-revolutionary and foreign books and journals from libraries and bookstores. 'Incorrect' books by Soviet writers also disappeared by orders of the official censorship and state secret protection organ - General Directorate for the Protection of State Secrets in the Press under the Council of Ministers of the USSR (also Glavlit). In libraries banned books with old and politically incorrect materials could be physically destroyed or put in 'special collections' (spetskhran), accessible to a very restricted number of persons by special permit granted by the KGB. The biggest spetskhran in the Russian State library was closed down only in 1988 and the Department of Russian Émigré Literature was formed on its basis.
