At the very beginning of the last century, free folk reading rooms began to be intensively created in Russian villages and villages. By 1909 there were more than two thousand of them. The impetus for this mass movement was given by the spiritual testament of the St. Petersburg publisher and educator Florenty Fedorovich Pavlenkov.

He graduated from the 1st Petersburg Cadet Corps and the Mikhailovskaya Artillery Academy. During his studies, he joined the opposition student movement and came under secret police surveillance. In the same years, he began to collaborate with various magazines and newspapers, and was engaged in translations. After graduating from the academy, he served in the Kiev Arsenal, where he sharply criticized embezzlement and was forced to resign.

After failed attempt to become a teacher at a military gymnasium, Pavlenkov moved to St. Petersburg and forever connected his life with publishing. His most famous publications are: “A visual alphabet for teaching and self-teaching to read and write” (1873), which went through 22 editions, a collection of exposing pamphlets “Vyatskaya forget-me-not” (1878), a one-volume illustrated “ encyclopedic Dictionary» (1899). Pavlenkov is the founder of the series "Life wonderful people» - predecessors famous series, which is still being published, as well as the series "Popular Science Library" and "Library useful knowledge» (on applied sciences and art). A “Pavlenkovsky” type of book gradually developed: as a rule, a small format, thick paper, good stitching, neat font, narrow margins, a large number of drawings. But there were also books of large format, with text printed in two columns. All publications are modest, but at the same time good quality, high quality. And very cheap.

F.F. Pavlenkov died in 1900 at the age of 60. Buried in Petersburg literary bridges Volkovsky cemetery.

In his will, F. F. Pavlenkov ordered that the bulk of his money be used to open 2,000 free public libraries in poor remote villages and villages. His executors carried out the will of the deceased. Letters were sent to the zemstvos with the following proposal: the zemstvos find a room, a librarian, etc., send 50 rubles to the executors, and they, in turn, send books worth 100 rubles to the village or village. Thus, by 2011, 2018 libraries were opened, one of them is in the village of Krutoy Maidan, Arzamas district Nizhny Novgorod province.

The village of Steep Maidan is old. According to legend, it was formed during the reign of Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century. Matched rich history villages and the history of the local library.

The letter says that the book publisher F. F. Pavlenkov bequeathed 100 thousand rubles for the opening of 2,000 people's reading rooms in the poorest and most remote villages and settlements. The Arzamas Zemstvo did not turn away from the modest but promising gift of Florenty Fedorovich. 2 libraries were opened in the county in the villages of Krutoy Maidan and Chernukha.
