Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library was established by Vladimir Putin and is one of the national Libraries in Russia. It is named after Boris Yeltsin. It is located in St. Petersburg in Russia.[1][2] In November 2014, it announced its intention to start an online encyclopedia, which it dubbed an alternative to Wikipedia. In a statement, the Library said that Wikipedia "...is unable to give detailed and trustworthy information about Russia’s regions and the life of the country."[3]
