- If this is the case, then I’ll improve my reputation! - said Mikhail Ivanovich and immediately attacked the herd of sheep and cut them all to pieces. Then he caught a woman in a raspberry patch and took away the basket of raspberries. Then he began to look for roots and threads, and by the way, he turned out a whole forest of foundations. Finally, he climbed into the printing house at night, smashed the machines, mixed up the type, and dumped the works of the human mind into a waste pit.
Having done all this, the son of a bitch squatted down and waited for encouragement.
However, his expectations did not come true.
Although Donkey, taking advantage of the first opportunity, described Toptygin’s exploits in the best possible way, Lev not only did not reward him, but personally scribbled on the side of Donkey’s report: “I don’t believe this officer was brave; for this is the same Taptygin who mavo Lyubimov Chizhika sat!"
And he ordered that he be discharged from the infantry.
So Toptygin remained 1st Major forever. And if he had started straight from the printing houses, he would now be a general.

Many commented on the change in the name of RIA Novosti. IMHO, no matter how “blue news” changes its name, it will still remain the same in essence.
But the message about the liquidation of the Book Chamber left a shocking impression on me. It seems that the main Siberian Crane has already completely lost touch with the earth and common sense? Wild, crazy and senseless decision.

Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the liquidation of the Russian Book Chamber. Legal deposit copies will now need to be sent to VGTRK and ITAR-TASS.

On December 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on measures to improve the efficiency of state media, according to which the federal state budgetary institution of science, the Russian Book Chamber, created by decree of Boris Yeltsin on November 30, 1992, is liquidated. The document published on the official website of the president states that the property of the RKP will be transferred to the ITAR-TASS news agency.

The decree transfers the functions of the Russian Book Chamber for collecting legal deposits to the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) and ITAR-TASS. The transfer will be officially formalized by the Russian government, which is tasked with developing and submitting to the State Duma the appropriate amendments to the law of December 29, 1994 No. 77-FZ “On the Legal Deposit of Documents” within 15 days.

The department was involved in organizing the work of the state archive of the press of the Russian Federation, the information system “Books in stock and in print”, issuing bibliographic indexes, assigning ISBNs, and collecting book publishing statistics for the year. It was recently announced that the Russian Book Chamber has begun accepting information about the release of e-books.

In addition to the Book Chamber, RIA Novosti was also liquidated and a new state news agency, Rossiya Segodnya, was organized. The radio station “Voice of Russia” is subject to liquidation (with the transfer of property to a new news agency), and the magazine “Rodina” is attached to the “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”.

The official reasons for the reorganization were cited by the head of the Kremlin administration, Sergei Ivanov, as a more rational use of budget funds, as well as an increase in the efficiency of state media.

As the head of the Book Chamber later reported Elena Nogina, the department did not know about the impending liquidation.

General Director of the Russian Book Chamber Elena Nogina reported that the decree on the liquidation of the department, which was signed by Vladimir Putin, came as a surprise to her. According to Nogina, the transfer of rights to the property of the RCP, as well as the delegation of its powers, was never discussed by anyone.
“This is the first time I’ve heard about this,- Nogina told the Izvestia newspaper. — And what does ITAR-TASS have to do with it if our chamber deals with books?! There was a lot of talk about the merger of the Russian State Library and the Russian Communist Party, but there was never any talk about ITAR-TASS.”

According to Elena Nogina, ITAR-TASS should receive from the RCP a national book depository in Mozhaisk. The building on Oktyabrskaya Street, which currently houses the Book Chamber, is rented by the institution. The head of the RCP did not report the fate of another building on the Kremlin embankment, which is also occupied by the department.

Experts and book professionals were especially perplexed by the fact that the presidential decree describes the functions of the Russian Communist Party in one paragraph concerning the implementation of the legal deposit law - the document proposes to assign these functions to ITAR-TASS and VGTRK. The President instructed the government to develop the corresponding amendments to Law No. 77-FZ “On Mandatory Deposit of Documents” within 15 days. The presidential decree does not mention other functions of the Book Chamber, in particular the assignment of ISBNs.

“Theoretically, publishing houses are capable of regulating issues related to ISBN themselves, but to do this they will still have to create some kind of structures on a national scale or at least support existing ones,” Slon.ru told the publication. Alexey Kupriyanov, Associate Professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (St. Petersburg), historian of science.

But to whom all other functions of the Book Chamber will be transferred, including maintaining industry statistics, organizing the work of the state press archive, and forming a bibliographic database, remains unclear.

“The main tasks of the RCP were the creation and maintenance of the State Archive of the Press of Russia, the collection and dissemination of bibliographic information, and publishing statistics. Any researcher is familiar with the most valuable sources of information - the “Book Chronicle”, the publication of which began back in 1907 and was not interrupted even during the years of revolutionary upheavals (although the efficiency of providing information about new publications suffered greatly), the chronicle of periodicals and ongoing publications, the chronicle of magazine articles and others Serial publications of a reference nature. Who will now take care of the archive and bibliographic projects? This is perhaps the main question, for which there is no answer at the moment,” explains Kupriyanov.

“Destroying a relatively well-functioning national bibliographic system would be pure madness,”- the expert believes.

The leadership of the Russian Book Chamber issued a statement regarding the decree of the President of the Russian Federation on the liquidation of the Russian Communist Party.

On Tuesday, December 10, the leadership of the Russian Book Chamber (RCC) outlined its position regarding the decree on the liquidation of the department, which was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin on December 9, 2013:

“The Russian Book Chamber (RBC) receives requests from representatives of various media and QMS, book chambers of the CIS and Russia, publishers and librarians, bibliographers and authors, many of our partners and colleagues in the book business - with a request to clarify the essence of the Decree “On measures for increasing the efficiency of state media”, signed by the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin on December 9, 2013, regarding the present situation and the further functioning of the Russian Book Chamber.

In connection with the receipt of numerous questions and requests, the leadership of the Chamber considers it necessary to report the following.

The decision to liquidate the RCP in its current status was a complete surprise for the entire staff of the Chamber. This decision was not discussed or agreed upon with us in advance.

There have been no complaints from higher (governing) bodies regarding the performance of its statutory functions at the present stage by the RKP.

RKP is a scientific and information center of Russian book publishing. The main statutory functions of the Chamber are state bibliography and press statistics, eternal (archival) storage of the “book memory” of the nation and replenishment of the collections of the country’s leading libraries (due to legal deposits received in the legally established quantity), publication of state bibliographic indexes and a scientific and methodological journal, development and revision of state standards in the field of book publishing, instructional and methodological assistance to library and bibliographic institutions, publishing and bookselling structures. The Chamber is also a national ISBN agency (International Standard Book Number - the main identifier of a printed publication), and conducts scientific and scientific information work.

The liquidation of the Chamber, that is, the destruction or transfer of its functions “into the wrong hands,” can lead to unpredictable consequences for the domestic book business.

In connection with the above, we hope that a reasonable decision will be made to preserve the Chamber and its staff for the further performance of its functions (in many ways unique to world practice), even within the framework of a new organizational structure.

We also inform you that until the official date of reorganization, the Russian Book Chamber retains - in full and without changes - the current procedure and mechanism for performing its statutory functions.

Until the adoption of a new legislative act, delivery to the RCP of legal copies of printed publications of all types and types is carried out in accordance with the current version of the law “On Legal Deposit of Documents”.

The Federal State Budgetary Institution of Science "Russian Book Chamber" (RKP) is a national bibliographic agency that carries out bibliographic and statistical accounting of publications published on the territory of the Russian Federation, archival storage of publications, international standard numbering of printed works and scientific research in the field of book business.

The project for creating the RCP was proposed by members of the Russian Bibliological Society.
The Book Chamber was founded in 1917 in Petrograd. In 1920, on the basis of a decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR, it was transferred to Moscow and reorganized into the Russian Central Book Chamber; in 1936, by resolution of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, it was transformed into the All-Union Book Chamber. Since 1992, the Book Chamber again bears the name of the Russian Chamber.

Activity

Currently, the basis for state bibliographic registration and press statistics in the Russian Federation is mandatory free copies of each publication supplied to the RCP at the expense of publishers (their cost is included in the cost of production).
Every year, 0.7–1.2 million publications are processed in technological mode using modern electronic means at the RCP. The information received is brought to consumers (libraries of various levels and profiles, information bodies, research institutions, archives, editorial offices of newspapers and magazines, publishing houses, etc.) by distributing by subscription state bibliographic indexes (chronicles), centralized cataloging cards, as well as organizations automated reference service.

The constantly updated General Alphabetical Catalog, containing more than 30 million bibliographic records about printed works published in Russia since 1917, is used as a reference and search engine. An electronic catalog of bibliographic descriptions of publications dated 1917–2005 is available on the RKP website. volume of more than 1.8 million records.

The RCP is entrusted with the responsibility of receiving, at the expense of publishers, and distributing among the main fund holders (the list of which is approved by law, for example, now a copy of each publication received by the RCP, in a specified quantity, must be in the Lenin Library in Moscow and in the Saltykov Library in St. Petersburg) sets mandatory free copies of publications and other documents. One set, after registration, bibliographic and statistical processing, is sent for eternal storage to the State Archive of the Press of the Russian Federation, which is part of the Russian Communist Party and represents the most complete collection of printed works that have been published in the country since 1917. According to data for 1970, it contains there were 34 million storage units; for 2001 - over 80 million.

Publications (state bibliographic indexes)

The main bibliographic indexes of the RKP (the so-called chronicles), covering almost all types of publications, include the weekly “Book Chronicle”, “Chronicle of Magazine Articles” and “Chronicle of Newspaper Articles”. Chronicles of abstracts of dissertations for the academic degrees of candidates and doctors of science are published monthly, once every two months - “Chronicle of Music”, “Chronicle of Illustrations”, once a year - “Cartographic Chronicle”.

The yearbook “Books of the Russian Federation” occupies an important place among bibliographic indexes. In addition, the index “Bibliography of Russian Bibliography” is published annually, as well as the “Chronicle of Periodicals and Continuing Publications. New, renamed and discontinued newspapers and magazines.”

Data from state statistical accounting of printed products are published in the official publication - “Press of the Russian Federation in ... year”, and are also sent for publication in UNESCO publications “Statistical Yearbook” and “Index Translationum” (information on translated publications).

The Russian Book Chamber was liquidated on December 9, 2013 by decree of the President of the Russian Federation with the transfer of its property to the ITAR-TASS agency.
It seems that Putin has learned the lesson of the bear, which destroyed the printing house at night, and “buried the works of the human mind in a waste pit”...

Introduction

At the beginning of the century, Russia was one of the largest book publishing countries in the world. In 1913, more than 30 thousand titles of books and brochures were published on its territory (within the borders of the former USSR) with a total circulation of about 100 million copies. In terms of quantitative indicators, Russian book publishing was second only to Germany and significantly ahead of countries such as England, France and the USA. However, the developed book industry was in the tight grip of autocratic censorship, which entangled the literary process, publishing, and printing production hand and foot. The Main Directorate for Press Affairs within the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tsarist Russia and its subordinate local institutions, “ obsessed,- as contemporaries wrote, - with one desire - to stifle all free thought and, occupied only with ensuring that there is as little as possible of the printed word in Russia, left in complete neglect other functions that were not related to censorship, but which cannot but be recognized as having enormous national significance.”. These included the registration of printed works, which, if properly handled, should have given a picture of the cultural state of the country.

That is why one of the first acts of the Provisional Government, caused by the demands of the democratic public immediately after the February Revolution of 1917, was the abolition of the Main Directorate for Press Affairs. A Special Commission created on this occasion, chaired by the Commissioner of the Provisional Government, Count D.P. Kapnist, prepared a note indicating that the abolition of the Main Directorate does not raise any doubts, because “the heavy guardianship imposed by the overthrown regime on Russian public life was the most sensitive and intolerant in its manifestations in relation to human thought and the spiritual creativity of the people” .

The commission stated that in this area the struggle of tsarism with the public reached extreme tension, and the activities of the organization that led all censorship institutions aroused the most acute and undisguised hatred.

In accordance with the proposals of the Kapnist commission, on April 27 (May 10), 1917, the Provisional Government adopted a decree “On Press Institutions”, which abolished the Main Directorate for Press Affairs, and instead created a bibliographic institution of a completely different kind, which was called the “Book Ward".

1.History of the Russian Book Chamber

The Russian Order of the Badge of Honor Book Chamber is a national center for state bibliography, statistical accounting and international numbering of publishing products, standardization and scientific research in the field of book publishing, a national repository of legal deposits of all printed publications published in the Russian Federation. The Russian Book Chamber was founded in 1917. The Chamber carries out state registration of all types and types of domestic publications, distributes legal deposits among the largest libraries in the country, almost completely ensuring their free supply of domestic publishing products.

The diversity of our country’s publishing products is reflected in the state bibliographic indexes regularly published by the Chamber (“Book Chronicle”, “Chronicle of Abstracts of Dissertations”, “Cartographic Chronicle”, “Chronicle of Reviews”, “Chronicle of Art Publications”, “Music Chronicle”, “Chronicle of Journal Articles”) , “Chronicle of newspaper articles”), statistical yearbooks and other information publications. The Chamber also creates electronic data banks.

The Chamber was and is one of the main guarantors of preserving the book memory of the nation, since - unlike libraries, which usually have a specific acquisition profile - it collects all published printed materials. The Chamber's depository is designed for eternal storage and exhaustive completeness of incoming publishing products in the form of legal copies of books, brochures, magazines, newspapers, posters, posters, dissertation abstracts, postcards, etc., etc. The press archive contains more than 82 million items, which is almost twice as large as the largest Russian libraries. It acts as a kind of insurance library fund and a repository of little-requested literature.

The Book Chamber contributes to the preservation and rise of the level of book culture by developing and implementing various national standards for publishing design, conducting scientific research (including forecasting) of the book market, reading problems, and the place of books in society. Many of her proposals and recommendations have already been put into practice or accepted for implementation within the framework of Moscow and federal programs to support book publishing and reading.

2.Main functions of the RCP activities

As a national center for state bibliography, the RKP performs such important functions as:

· bibliographic registration, accounting of printed works of all types published in the country and in all branches of knowledge, and also of other replicated products (audio and video materials, disks, etc.);

· release of the State Budgetary Institution system and the “New Books of Russia” newsletter; acquisition of library collections (based on the legal deposit system);

· centralized cataloging (production of printed bibliographic cards for catalogs and card files of various libraries);

·retrospective accounting of printed products; development of standards and other regulatory documents; print statistics; storage and use, as well as restoration of lost parts of the National Repository (State Press Archive);

·maintenance of reference and bibliographic apparatus; reference and bibliographic services to organizations and institutions, libraries on issues related to the industry (press, book publishing), problems of state bibliography, etc.

Traditionally, RKP performs the functions of the largest research institution and organizational and methodological center of the industry. Having the status of a research institute, the RKP is engaged in the study of general problems of bibliology (for example, the collection “Book. Research and Materials”) has been published for several years now. Being an organizational and methodological center for the book chambers of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the RKP pays a lot of attention to the unification of methodological decisions on issues of bibliographic selection, compilation of materials reflected in the State Budgetary Institutions, their classification, according to the composition of the SPA, equipping the republican State Budgetary Institutions with auxiliary indexes, etc.

These functions are performed by the relevant units of the RCP. For example, along with the departments of the RKP as a national bibliographic center, it also includes the Center for Information and Publishing Technologies (CIIT), which, together with the Liberea publishing house, produces the catalog “Books in stock and in print” (RussianBooksinprint), the editorial office of the magazine “Bibliography”, publishing house Book Chamber International, Book Institute and others.

At the same time, the RKP has also acquired new functions due to the peculiarities of the current stage of development of state bibliography: the active development of network technologies, the completion of the project “Current National Bibliography on the Internet” (implemented jointly with the Russian State Library and the Russian National Library with the support of the Open Society Institute); retroconversion programs for catalogs and State Budgetary Institutions (since 1917); modernization and updating of information retrieval languages, subject classification and classification schemes, communication formats (in accordance with the requirements and specifics of industries, as well as taking into account international standards); continuation of work on creating a database of authoritative (normative) files; conducting fundamental scientific and applied research in the field of book publishing and information technology; implementation of the project “Electronic resources of RKP”; improvement of the national information system “Books in stock and printing”; implementation of the project to create a RCP website on the Internet.

Conclusion

State bibliographic indexes occupy one of the main places in the system of scientific and technical information. Almost any type of publication that appears in our country is reflected in one chronicle or another. They are not only reliable sources of bibliographic information, but also serve as the basis for the creation of other types of bibliographic aids (scientific aids, recommendations) for the bibliographic work of libraries.

Indexes at the federal and regional levels differ in the principles of selecting the printed works reflected - by place of publication and language. Bibliographic descriptions of printed works that were published in the languages of the peoples of Russia (except Russian) and are reflected in the indexes of the Russian Communist Party are given in Russian. In regional publications, bibliographic records are given in two languages: in the original language and in Russian. Thus, state bibliographic indexes of regional book chambers help readers better navigate printed works published in the region, complementing the bibliographic indexes of the Russian Communist Party.

When searching for information in chronicles, you need to take into account the following: works of printing are reflected in them separately, by type; for bibliographic aids, a unified classification scheme for printed works has been adopted; auxiliary indexes in most cases are built according to the alphabetical principle and help to find works of printing of a certain type in the aspect of interest to the reader with the least amount of time.

The efficiency and economy of many processes of press statistics, book publishing and book distribution depends on the state of the state bibliography. That is why the Russian Book Chamber is constantly improving the scientific, methodological and organizational support of the state bibliography.
