She touch on such interesting publications as Nizhegorodskii sbornik, whence she was able to extract a nuanced picture of the world of artisanal producers, provincial and diocesan gazettes, the papers of the Provincial Archival Commission, local guidebooks, biographical compilations, and others. | Russian and East European Institute | English |  |
