Pravoslavie, armiia i flot Rossii (Russian Orthodoxy and the Army and Navy of Russia)
St. Petersburg: EGO, 1996. Sewn cl. This catalogue publishes icons, other forms of Orthodox art, flags, banners, medals, arms and armor from five museums in St. Petersburg (the Suvorov, Military-Medical, Naval, Artillery, and History of Religion) whose collections are relatively arcane. Together they indicate how the identity of the military before the 1917 revolution was based on the visual culture of the Russian Orthodox church and drew its inspiration and strength from that culture. 160 pp., 8 1/4 x 11 1/2 ins., 244 color illus., sewn pb., Rus.
