Information

Since 1992 due different exchange programs about 60 thousand specialists in different areas have visited the USA. Coming back they have a wish to keep relationships with the people they met in the USA, to be informed about the life of the country, to have an ability to get more information about the country they visited. From this the idea of American corners and centers appeared. The first one was an American center in Moscow in the Library of foreign literature. The other ones appeared a bit later in many cities of Russia: St. Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Irkutsk, Vologda, Saratov. American corner in Kaliningrad was opened on December,17 in 2002 in the City Central Library by A.P. Chekhov. In the ceremony of opening the ambassador of the USA Alexander Vershbow took part.
