Check out Anatoly
Pronin's web site. He has terrific
artistic photography of Russia and other places. Anatoly recently supplied a
striking photo of the Kopor'ye fortress you can now find in the section on that
place. We have recently added more photos not only to Kopor'ye but also
Ivangorod, Pechora monastery, Izborsk and Pskov fortresses. There is now a new
section with photography of the Russian Central Army Museum in Moscow. See the
index for links. We added a fascinating collection of Old Believer Brass
Icons. We also now have the full text of
the US Army's manual on the Red Army of WWII -
TM30-430 on CDROM in PDF format.
Special: It is hereWe have copies of
Tsekhgaus - Arsenal the
excellent Russian military history magazine - click above to have a look at the
cover and table of contents of issues 11,12,13,14,15,16. We have been buying
and distributing this super publication since the first issue in 1991 but
generally in insufficient copies to make translation worth while. But now we
are assured multiple copies and Mark Conrad has translated issues 13 and 14.
Please email us at Xenophon for
details. Copies are limited in number so ask soon. By special arrangement with
the publisher we have obtained a few copies of the marvelous issue of NAPOLEON journal published in Fall 2000 at $9.95. We
are giving this away as a special promotion to all who order the set of issues
of Tsekhgaus.
We have 5 spectacular aerial photos of Kam'yanetz-Podilski, the fortress city
in Ukraine that we visited in 1997 and have featured for several years with
many photos at Kam'yanetz. We have
just expanded sections on Yaroslavl, Trinity monastery, Novgorod, Smolensk,
Vyborg, and Rostov. After you visit our web site, you can call upon Ukrintour
to get you to these cities. We just added a section on the Virginia armor
museum - a private museum near Manassas Virginia. And we now have an article on
the Thirty Years' War. We are adding sections on the U.S. Army Ordnance Museum
at Aberdeen Maryland, the U. S.Army Aviation Museum at Ft. Rucker, Alabama, and
the famous Ogden paintings showing the history of the uniforms of the U. S.
Army.
New - I have added a section of photos taken
during my service in US Army in Korea in
1956-57.
We are in process of adding a new section to the Ruler of medieval Russia
directory - these will be tables showing the princes acccording to their
generation from Rurik, counted as generation 1. There are at least 22
generations to be listed and we are currently working on generation 10. Please
go to this link. 
With much more historical material available than we have room for at this
web site, we do appreciate recommendations and responses about what you find
useful. Our web pages on French medieval history and on the American Revolution
are at Xenophongroup.
