About BiblioRossica
BiblioRossica is a digital library that offers expertly selected collections in the most relevant areas of Russian, Jewish, Eastern European and Eurasian humanities. Our ever-growing collection includes over 24,000 titles of scholarship, with thematic collections spanning works in history, philosophy, linguistics, art, sociology, and more. Most of these books don’t reach readers outside Russia and are not available online. New titles become available shortly after print publication, along with the most significant books from recent years.
Our mission is to present books of the most significant Russian publishers in the field of humanities, as well as carefully selected smaller publishers, to scholars worldwide. Our core collection includes books from such publishers as Ad Marginem, Rosspen, NLO, Hylaea, Grundrisse, Vodolei, Nestor-Istoriia and many others. As a project of Academic Studies Press (Boston, MA), BiblioRossica.com also houses its own titles in Russian, Slavic, and Jewish studies.
BiblioRossica combines the traditions of meticulous research with the newest technologies, offering a constantly expanding array of services designed for the academic community including:
- A user-friendly catalog featuring standard, extended, and full-text search capabilities
- Content is uploaded in PDF format, which allows users to change font and page sizes, select a convenient layout, and more
