1988年10月我们作为中国新闻出版代表团成员在访苏期间,与“全苏图书爱好者志愿协会”(简称“图书爱好者协会”),进行了会谈。协会已创建28年,在苏联出版界和读者中影响很大,拥有会员1900万人,还有几十个团体会员。该组织最初由苏共中央宣传部扶植起来,15年后,协会自身的经济实力不断发展,现已变成自负盈亏的社会团体。经济收入主要来源于下属的21个企业,包括装帧材料、书签、书架、微型书等产品的牛产厂,和经营装帧设计、书徽设计及广告业务等。协会章程中明确规定了自己的使命:宣传书籍;提高书籍的利用效率;吸引全社会来发行书籍;把作者、出版者与读者,以及读者与读者之间 In October 1988, as a member of China’s press and publication delegation, we held talks with the “Volunteer Association of All-Soviet Books Enthusiasts” (referred to as “Association of Book Lovers”) during their visit to the Soviet Union. The association, which has been in existence for 28 years, has a great influence on the publishing industry and readership in the Soviet Union, with 19 million members and dozens of other members. The organization was initially fostered by the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the CPSU. Fifteen years later, its own economic strength has evolved and has now become a self-financing social organization. The main source of income comes from 21 subordinate enterprises, including cattle production plants for the production of frames, bookmarks, bookshelves and miniature books, as well as the operation of binding design, book design and advertising. The association charter clearly stipulates its own mission: to promote books; to improve the efficiency of the use of books; to attract the whole society to issue books; to writers, publishers and readers, and between readers and readers
