- List of references
The name of Alexander Ivanovich Krasovsky – the odious censor of the Nikolaev era – is well known to the enlightened reader. Like anecdotes, there are his unfounded nit-picking of writers and poets of the first quarter of the 19th century, interference in the personal lives of subordinates, the desire to suspect and exterminate sedition in the most harmless statements. At the same time, his impeccable service in the Imperial Public Library for 23 years, his participation in the solemn opening of the Imperial Public Library for readers on January 2 (14), 1814, and the preparation of reports for the first years of its activity remain in the shadow. Krasovsky’s role as one of the founders of reader studies and recommendatory bibliography in the first national library of Russia, its first historiographer deserves special attention.
