Footnotes
- Nikolai Makarenko was an accomplished artist, archaeologist and collector. He was also an art historian and wrote many monographs on Russian art and culture, including: Art Treasures of the Imperial Hermitage, 1916 and Art of Old Rus At Solia Vychegodsky, 1918. Between 1920-1924, Makarenko was the director of the Khanenko Museum in Kiev (now the Museum of Western and Eastern Art). Makarenko started his collection of works on paper by Russian and Ukrainian artists of the turn of the 20th century during his tenure at the St. Petersburg School of Drawing in 1907-1917, where he befriended many famous painters. Following his death in Kazan, the collection was preserved by the architect V. Egerev.
