Nina Ustenina complained to the Ministry of Culture about the rave party in Leninka. In a letter addressed to Culture Minister Olga Lyubimova (available to Kommersant), the chairman of the State Duma Committee for the Protection of the Family stated that organizing events of this type is against Presidential Decree No. 809 on the preservation of traditional values. As the deputy pointed out, the library is a "particularly significant cultural institution", and its "symbolic significance" implies a "special responsibility for the nature of the events held in its territory". Organizing a rave party within the walls of the RSL seemed "inappropriate" to Mrs Ustanina. "Such activities should be carried out taking into account the profile of the institution, the requirements of the law, the conditions for the use of state property and the need to ensure the safety of the library's collections," says Ms. Ustanina in the address. The literary and musical party "LitRAV" was held at the Russian State Library on October 31. The organizers were the library and the publishing group "Eksmo-AST". According to the organizers, more than 3,000 people participated in the event.
