More than fourteen and a half thousand scanned manuscripts are published at the official website of The Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius. A large-scale project of digitizing ancient manuscripts was implemented with support of the Russian State Library.

The scanned manuscripts are divided into archives and collections. Besides, a separate section is specially allocated for the rare editions such as some volumes of the Russian Bible, Life of Sergius of Radonezh and some other unique books.

Totally, more than one million pages of manuscripts were scanned and are at free access. Thus, historians, linguists and just fans of the Russian Studies obtained an opportunity to touch the pages of the ancient manuscripts.

Organizers of the large-scale project have assured network users that the database with images will be constantly fulfilling.

Italian entrepreneur Marco Maggi's book, "Russian to the Bone," is now accessible for purchase in Italy and is scheduled for release in Russia in the upcoming months. In the book, Marco recounts his personal odyssey, narrating each stage of his life as a foreigner in Russia—starting from the initial fascination to the process of cultural assimilation, venturing into business, fostering authentic friendships, and ultimately, reaching a deep sense of identifying as a Russian at his very core.
