Samenvatting	Sixteen scholars from Russia, Vienna, and the United States explore the fate of Russian art collections and libraries following the Russian Revolution in 1917, the institutions and individuals responsible for their sale, and the prominent collectors, libraries, and museums that acquired them.

This volume reveals the extent of the Soviet government's voluntary “realization” of Russia's cultural patrimony between 1918 and 1938 and its consequences for both the international art market and the perception of Russian art.
