Program for downloading books from website of Russian Foundation of Basic Research.
The fact is that RFBR is a state organization, which takes money from the state in order to stimulate the development of fundamental science. However, it turns out that, for example, the receipt of books issued by the publisher RFBR in electronic form is prohibited. Only online reading is available. I think this is unfair, and this program helps to overcome this unpleasant circumstance.
