Pravoslavnye russkie obiteli.
[Russian Orthodox Monasteries].
Soykin, Skt. Peterburg, [1909].
As the work was published just some years before the establishment of the communist rule, which often purposefully destroyed monasteries and shrines, it has a great value as a record of the vanished historical monuments and spiritual centres of the Imperial Russia.
