H-EarlySlavic is a forum for the discussion of Slavic history, literature, and culture before 1725. It is focused primarily on East Slavic (Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian) regions, though West and South Slavic areas will also be considered.
From William Brumfield:
My current article for Russia beyond the Headlines is devoted to Bykovo, a country estate just south of Moscow with a grand manor house and a church that is one of the best examples of the Gothic Revival style in Russia: http://rbth.com/travel/2015/02/20/the_bykovo_estate_gothic_fantasy_at_the_edge_of_moscow_4...
