“SVET Rusneb” is an educational project that aims to promote language, literacy, and classic Russian literature for adults and children.

You can read popular science publications legally and for free — books by Michio Kaku, Stephen Hawking, and Carl Sagan, as well as literary masterpieces — from Victor Hugo, Honoré de Balzac, and Hans Christian Andersen to Alexander Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, and Mikhail Bulgakov.
To make your reading experience even more engaging, we provide articles and reference materials written by philologists and science communicators where they interpret authorial intent and explain complex phenomena in simple terms.
— The books in the catalogue were created on the National Electronic Library platform in compliance with all copyright laws.
— Download a book to your device and read it offline — you will find the list of downloads in the “My Books” section.
— Search for books not only by title or author but also by tags, age groups, or length.
— Watch stage and film adaptations of popular titles.
— Study literature and science with the help of Russian-language articles and guides compiled by literary scholars, educators, and science communicators.
— Take a test to see how much you have learnt.
