Moving the Slavonic Library to Klementinum (1929)

On Monday, 10 June 1929, the move of the Slavonic Library from the Vice-Governor's Summer Palace in Stromovka to the newly adapted premises in Klementinum was completed. During the previous month, 27 carts with the library collection had been transported. The first director of the Slavic Library, Russian emigrant Vladimir N. Tukalevsky (1881-1936), is standing in front of the carriage, while Fyodor A. Ryabov (1892-1967), a long-time library worker, also an emigrant from Bolshevik Russia, is kneeling on the carriage. The library is still housed in Klementinum today.
