THE RUSSIAN ARCHIVE

of

Paul Wickenden of Thanet, ODH, OSO, OW, APF, OIW, AoA

Although I am probably best known for my Dictionary of Period Russian Names and that particular work has eaten up the greatest amount of my time, I have had the opportunity to write a series of shorter (and less ambitious) works about medieval Russia. I have collected these articles here for your perusual. And, of course, you can always look at the Dictionary, but remember that it is only the second edition. The third edition is not available on-line. If you want to purchase a copy, contact Free Trumpet Press (and no, in answer to the rumors: I don't make a penny off of the sale of it).

Copyright Notice: I prefer to maintain my intellectual property rights over all of these works (some of them, after all, represent significant amounts of effort), but I am more than willing to share them and even allow reprinting rights as long as I am contacted in advance. The best way to reach me is probably by email at goldschp@yahoo.com.
