Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library, National library in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library occupies the former Synod building at 3 Senate Square, a long yellow structure whose main facade has a row of tall white columns before a recessed upper storey. A lower wing with a small balcony continues to the left above the street. The flat roof carries chimneys and glass skylights, and the building also holds the house church of the Holy Fathers of the Seven Ecumenical Councils.

The library was established in 2007 and is one of three national libraries in Russia, named after the country's first president. Its founding under President Vladimir Putin reinforced its role in preserving and communicating Russian presidential history.

The library's name honours Boris Yeltsin, Russia's first president, added after his death; it was founded in 2007 as the Library of the President. Since 2019 it has also archived Russian websites. Its holdings are digital copies of documents on Russian history, statehood, law and the Russian language, supplied by libraries, archives and museums.

The library occupies the former Synod building at 3 Senate Square, facing the Bronze Horseman. Access to the collections is electronic: through the internet portal, the electronic reading room on site, or one of over 1,400 remote access centres in Russia and abroad. Visitors need an identity document to enter.

The library operates directly under the Russian Presidential Administration rather than the Ministry of Culture, distinguishing it from other national libraries. This administrative structure makes it a specialized repository of Russian presidential documents and records.
