![]() ![]() Over the course of writing this book, I benefited from the help of staff and specialists at almost four dozen archives, libraries, and museums. Special notice goes to a cohort of Roerich specialists who proved particularly generous about collaborating and exchanging ideas and insights: I owe a great deal to Alexandre Andreyev, Dany Savelli, Andrei Znamenski, and Ian Heron, and I likewise appreciate the advice and materials I received from Vladimir Rosov, Darya Kucherova, Markus Osterrieder, Anita Sta- sulane, and Shareen Blair Brysac. Though this list could be much longer, I wish to thank Jim Andrews, Christopher Ely, Willard Sunderland, MariaĬarlson, Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal, Birgit Menzel, Manju Kak, Ludmilla Voitkovska, and Lisa Smith. Beyond that, many scholars from various disciplines have answered queries, read draft versions of my work, or included me in conference panels and essay collections. The Society of Historians of Eastern European, Eurasian and Russian Art community, both online and in person, continues this standard of good will. ![]() When I began this project, I fretted about trespassing on the domain of art historians, only to find myself welcomed to the field by a hospitable group that includes Karen Kettering, Rosalind Blakesley, Susan Reid, Jane Sharp, and Andrea Rusnock. As always, I am perpetually grateful to my Chicago classmates for years of camaraderie and encouragement. Mark Bassin has acted as a mentor and friend throughout my career. (So many, in fact, that I apologize in advance for the inevitable but, I hope, not too numerous omissions.) My graduate-school days are far behind me, but I nonetheless owe thanks to my advisers at the University of Chicago, Richard Hellie and Sheila Fitzpatrick, who supported early stages of this research despite its sharp departure from my dissertation work.
