We see great potential in joint educational and research initiatives, where the traditions of the Russian State Library and the technologies of the NEB and Ruviki platforms complement each other perfectly," Vadim Duda, Director General of the Russian State Library, commented on the signing.

Ilya Petrunin, Deputy General Director for Product and Information Technology Development at Ruviki, for his part, noted that thanks to the partnership, the Internet encyclopedia will have access to proven knowledge and reliable sources of information.

The National Electronic Library is a federal state information system created by the Ministry of Culture with the participation of major libraries, museums, archives and publishers. The NEB contains more than 5 million current publications selected by experts.
