In 1953, the National Library purchased considerable amounts of Russian literature from [[Saint Petersburg|Leningrad]] and [[Moscow]]. These books were to form the basis of a Slavonic library in Stockholm. These plans were consolidated in an agreement made in 1964 between the [[Lenin Library]] in Moscow and the National Library in which the respective libraries agreed to exchange their countries' literature.
