Yu. von Landesen, P. V. Shkurkin, N. M. Dobrokhotov, S. T. Ternovsky, G. G. Satovsky-Rzhevsky, N. N. Grozin, M. N. Gordeev and others. All reference books have been reviewed by the author de visu in Russian (Solzhenitsyn House of Russian Abroad, State Archive of the Russian Federation, etc.), foreign (University of Hawaii in Honolulu, Museum of Russian Culture in San Francisco, Hoover Institution Library, etc.) and in private collections.
