Great Soviet Encyclopedia: 30 volumes / Ch. ed. A. M. Prokhorov. - 3rd ed. - M.: Sov. Encycl., 1969 – 1978.

The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (BSE) is one of the largest and most authoritative universal encyclopedias in the world. This is the most ambitious publishing project of the Soviet era. Over the course of fifty years, three editions were published. All fundamental decisions related to work on the TSB - from determining policy on its content to organizing printing execution - have always been made at the highest state and party level.
In 1925, in accordance with the resolutions of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, the joint-stock company “state scientific publishing house “Big Soviet Encyclopedia” (then “Soviet Encyclopedia”, currently “Big Russian Encyclopedia”) was established, and work began on preparation of the first edition. A total of 65 volumes were released. They were published from 1926 to 1947. From the very beginning, the country's largest scientists were involved in writing articles, scientific supervision and editing, and this became a common practice for all subsequent years. The first edition of the TSB was prepared with the direct guidance and participation of N.I. Bukharin and other prominent party leaders, many of whom were later “debunked” and repressed. As the current director of the Great Russian Encyclopedia publishing house, A. Gorkin, noted: “The first edition of the TSB was written by opportunists.”
This partly explains the fact that work on the second edition began immediately after the completion of the first (without any pause) - the Stalinist leadership had to quickly eliminate traces of the activities of the Bolsheviks of the “Leninist draft”. Volumes of the second edition began publication in 1950. By 1958, 50 main volumes and one additional volume were published, which contained mainly (the irony of fate!) biographies of prominent Soviet figures who had previously been repressed under Stalin.
Here is the third edition of the TSB, published in 1969-1978. A total of 30 volumes were published (the 24th volume is in two books, the second is entirely devoted to the USSR). The circulation of the latest volumes reached 600 thousand copies. The third edition, in comparison with the previous ones, is the most free from ideological layers; it is all the more interesting to read the article “From the Editor”, which precedes Volume I, from which it is clear under what pressure all the work on the encyclopedia was carried out even in the post-Stalin era.
Nevertheless, the authors and editors of the encyclopedia managed to concentrate in it truly the entire wealth of knowledge accumulated by humanity over millennia. Often it was the only source of adequate information about a wide variety of objects, events and people for Soviet people, and - thereby - turned into one of the bright and multifaceted, in its own way “cult” phenomena of the Soviet era.
The information collected in the TSB remains overwhelmingly relevant today. What is “obsolete” is of enduring historical interest. The information value of the TSB can be recognized by the fact that in 1973-1983 the famous Anglo-American publishing house Macmillan undertook the translation and publication of the encyclopedia in English long before the completion of the original edition in Russian. Both projects were carried out in parallel, the “English” volumes were regularly published after the “Russian” ones.
The last three years have marked a new stage in the history of TSB. Cooperation between the publishing house "Big Russian Encyclopedia" and the company "Autopan" has begun to translate the encyclopedia into electronic format. A set of three CD-ROMs in the “Golden Fund” series is scheduled for release in the summer of 2001. Our website presents an electronic version of the full text of the TSB, prepared by the Autopan company for these disks.

The 1969-1978 edition is the third.

A total of 30 volumes were published (the 24th volume is in two books, the second is entirely devoted to the USSR). The third edition, compared to its predecessors, is the most free from ideological layers. The authors and editors of the encyclopedia managed to concentrate in it truly the entire wealth of knowledge accumulated by humanity over millennia. This edition of TSB pays great attention to philosophical problems of natural science, the growing influence of the physical and chemical sciences on all branches of natural science and technology, as well as the widespread use of mathematical methods in economics, sociology, linguistics and other branches of knowledge.
The information collected in the TSB remains overwhelmingly relevant today. What is “obsolete” is of enduring historical interest. The information value of the TSB can be recognized by the fact that in 1973-1983 the famous Anglo-American publishing house Macmillan undertook the translation and publication of the encyclopedia in English long before the completion of the original edition in Russian.

In 1957-1990, the second and then the third edition was annually supplemented by the one-volume “Yearbook of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia.” They published updated data about the USSR and other countries, information about important events that took place in the world, and fresh biographical information. A total of 34 issues of the yearbook were published.

In accordance with the resolution of the CPSU Central Committee (February 2, 1967), since 1967 the preparation of the 3rd edition of the TSB has been underway. The publication contains 30 volumes (volume No. 24 in two books). An additional volume (the second book of volume 24) of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia is dedicated to the Soviet Union. The third edition was published between 1969 and 1978 with a circulation of about 630 thousand copies. In 1981, an “Alphabetical Name Index” was published for the third edition of the TSB (circulation 50 thousand copies).

Despite the fact that the 3rd edition is smaller in volume than the 2nd (3.5 thousand author's sheets), it contains 95,279 articles, 29,120 illustrations, 3,701 portraits and 524 color maps. The editor-in-chief is academician A. M. Prokhorov (since 1969).

The third edition of the encyclopedia was translated into English and published by the American publishing house Macmillan Publishers Ltd. in 1973-1982. Also, the third edition of the TSB was translated into Greek. The methodological experience of TSB was used in the preparation of the Small Soviet Encyclopedia (3 editions in 1928-60), other universal reference books, including the one-volume Soviet Encyclopedic Dictionary (4 editions in 1979-91), the two-volume Great Encyclopedic Dictionary (1991), and contributed to the development encyclopedic work in the country.
