Abstract
ACCORDING to the British United Press, it can now be revealed that German raiders recently set fire to the library of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, one of the most famous landmarks in the city. The fire was put out, however, before any of the three million valuable books in the library were destroyed. It may be recalled that the Germans, during the early raids on Moscow, boasted that the Academy of Sciences had been destroyed.
