And blame the creators of the resource is certainly not worth it, because the article for the Encyclopedia write simple Internet users, who often do not have any special education or access to information sources – told “RG” Director of Public Affairs Presidential Library Valentin Sidorin.

A few months ago, the agency staff appeared a great idea – to create a global portal, where they were presented to the comprehensive materials on the life of the regions. The basis of the amount of content archival sources, encyclopedias and monographs.
