The Foundation is engaged in the popularization of book culture and the study of the history of book business in Irkutsk. The founder of the Fund is Aleksey Petrov, a historian and blogger who at the end of September was included in the register of 'foreign agents' as the coordinator of the Movement for the Protection of Voter's Rights 'Golos' in the Irkutsk Region.
Grigory Melkonyants, co-chairman of 'Golos', said that the Irkutsk Union of Bibliophiles was included in the register of 'foreign agents' by mistake. According to him, the Ministry of Justice decided that this legal entity was created by Petrov for reporting in pursuance of the law on media – 'foreign agents', although in reality this is not the case.

Individuals recognized as "foreign agents" are required to create a legal entity through which they will report their expenses to the Ministry of Justice. They are obliged to notify the Ministry of Justice about the creation of such an organization and indicate in the constituent documents which other organizations they found.
The Ministry of Justice mistakenly considered that Aleksey Petrov created this legal entity for reporting to the Ministry of Justice, while this is not the case.
