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.

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 paul@goldschp.net.
