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 U.S. Army's manual on the Red Army of WWII - Handbook on U.S. S. R Military
on CDROM in PDF format. And two more U.S. Army manuals on the Red Army in HTM
and JPG format - Dept of Army Pamphlet # 30-4-1 Vol I Artillery and Dept
of Army Pamphlet 30-50-1 Handbook on the Soviet Army. For covers go here.
Special: It is hereWe have some extra 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. Mark Conrad
has translated issues 13 and 14 and has posted the translations on his web page
at  Mark
has a huge listing of significant works he has translated from Russian. Please
email us at Xenophon for details.
We have limited copies of several issues. 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 added two sections on the Virginia armor museum
- a private museum near Manassas Virginia. And we now have an article on the
Thirty Years' War. We have added 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. All these are listed in the index.
