Boris Godunov
Boris Godunov is the story not only of a troubled leader but of an entire nation, and its history is as eventful as that of Mother Russia herself. In this new production, the legendary director Andrei Konchalovsky presents a personal vision of the opera that takes Mussorgsky's bare and monumental first version as its basis, while adding the final scene from the composer's revision, in which not only the Tsar but the people themselves reveal their fatal flaws.

Eugene Onegin
Described by Tchaikovsky as 'lyric scenes', Eugene Onegin receives a spectacular reinterpretation from the Norwegian director Stefan Herheim. His productions create controversy and excitement around Europe, and here he takes Pushkin's story of illusion, disaffection and frustrated love, and places the protagonists – world-weary Onegin and naïve, passionate Tatyana – in a triple temporal perspective, referencing the theatrical present, the period of the work’s composition, and the pageant of Russia’s history. Mariss Jansons, renowned for his mastery of Tchaikovsky's symphonies, conducts this performance from Amsterdam's Muziektheater.

E-ILL and Russian e-books
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the challenges ILL librarians are faced with when trying to borrow or lend e-books through traditional interlibrary loan channels, especially in the context of international lending and borrowing. Design/methodology/approach - The authors use Russian language e-books and e-readers as a model for understanding the challenges presented by numerous file formats and e-reader types, multiple alphabets (e.g. Latin, Cyrillic), and national copyright laws and licensing restrictions. Findings - International ILL requests for e-books present a host of challenges beyond the usual licensing restrictions encountered in one's home country. A wide variety of unfamiliar and perhaps incompatible file formats, a lack of compatible e-readers, and national copyright laws are just a few of the barriers to obtaining e-books from abroad. It may become a regular part of the ILL librarian's job to develop protocols for locating digitized materials and forming working relationships with language specialists who can assist in providing access to these materials. Originality/value - This paper was originally presented as part of a panel presentation on e-books and interlibrary loan at the 2011 IFLA World Library and Information Congress.

The library also has extensive newspaper cuttings on music from Russian-language newspapers since the Leningrad Philharmonic's foundation.
