 | About The Russian Library of America
Our Mission
The Russian Library of America, a public benefit nonprofit Corporation, is dedicated to the scholarly and comparative analysis of cultural narratives.
Our mission is to strengthen civic institutions by providing a unique strategic foresight capability, rooted in the comparative study of historical and contemporary socio-political dynamics across the Americas and the Post-Soviet Space. We aim to enrich the global intellectual landscape by transforming history into actionable knowledge for the 21st century.
From Archive to Analytic Engine
Our Corporation functions as a Private Archival Research Institution and Academic Library. We build on the foundational work of Russian Narratology (V. Propp) and integrates advanced methodologies (Semiotics, Memetics, Logic, and Natural Language Processing) into a unified scientific framework.
This framework fuels two core outputs:
- The Codices Ecosystem: The creation of The Sol Codices—unique intellectual property (IP) that structures complex narratives into fundamental units of knowledge. This includes both the Classic Codices (e.g., Codex: War and Peace) and the Author Codices (the The Sol saga).
- Narrative Education: The licensing of proprietary curricula to our US partner, which provides elite post-graduate certification in Applied Narratology.
We are not merely a repository; we are an Analytic Engine that converts the lessons of history into tools for strategic decision-making.
