Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is ilibrary.ru legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns ilibrary.ru?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for ilibrary.ru. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.
Correct a description, link or other detail. Submissions are reviewed before publication.

Site is live · HTTPS valid
Komarov Library (ilibrary.ru) is a free digital library specializing in Russian classical literature from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The site evolved from an online literary magazine that ran from 1996 to 2001 before being transformed into a library focused on canonical Russian texts without modern works or editorial commentary.

The live front page reads as an education or reference site that publishes free content supported by ads, mainly for a general audience.
We withhold an authority number until independent evidence (global rank, link-graph presence) has accrued. The facts we do have about this site are shown below — we'd rather say “not enough signals yet” than invent a low score.
Safety evidence
No unexpired threat-feed result; name-similarity check available (recorded about 52 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 52 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.

2006
Немного истории. Долгое время - c 1996 по 2001 год - библиотека существовала в виде журнала и называлась «Литературные страницы online». В ежемесячных выпусках помещались мои любимые произведения русской классики и чуть-чуть современных произведений. Выпуски сопровождались моими собственными комментариями к публикуемым произведениям.
