This is the ambitious project, that will help Google to get nearer to our principal goal – to organize the global information and make it available to users”, said  Santiago de la Mora, the Head of Print Content Partnerships, EMEA. - The world literature is the inexhaustible depository of learning, and the Russian writers play an important role in it.
