Library of Ukrainian literature in Moscow

The Library of Ukrainian Literature in Moscow is a collection of books, manuscripts, and periodicals focused on Ukrainian authors and history. Its spaces are designed for research, allowing visitors to browse texts and materials spanning various time periods.

The library was founded in 1991 as the Soviet Union dissolved and attention shifted toward national identities. It emerged at a moment when people wanted to rediscover their own cultural traditions.

The institution displays works from writers across different time periods, and its spaces serve as a place where people explore their own cultural heritage. Visitors find here an archive that preserves who these authors were and what stories they told.

A visit works best on weekdays, when more time is available to browse the collection. The central location in the city makes it easy to combine a stop here with other activities.

In 2015, the institution experienced a turning point when officials searched it and questioned its collection. This event brought it international attention and revealed how sensitive the subject of cultural preservation had become.
