Only 119 volumes of the pre-1939 Turgenev Library has been returned to Paris out of the 100,000 volumes that were seized and taken to Berlin by the Nazis in 1940-1941. There were several Soviet attestations to its wartime destruction, but recently, documents have been found and books themselves bearing the library stamp, proving that a large part of the library was recovered by Soviet authorities. While many books have recently been located in Moscow and Minsk, some were destroyed in Soviet library 'cleansing' and others widely dispersed. Records of the library administration have been located in Moscow.
