ABSTRACT Since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, internet memes about the war have been widely disseminated through social media, both in Ukraine and abroad. The Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online (SUCHO) initiative uses crowdsourcing to collect Ukrainian war memes. Community submissions are curated and published on the interactive online SUCHO Meme Wall. The resulting archival collection is diverse in its content and format, preserving an important element of Russo-Ukrainian war discourse and offering unique material for research and teaching.

ABSTRACT Russian-born librarian extraordinaire Alexis Vasilevich Babine (1866–1930) is recognized for his accomplishments at Cornell University and the Library of Congress. In between, he spent several years at then new Stanford University (1898–1901/1902). Despite the fact that his role there was cut short by political turmoil, he is remembered for two notable contributions to the development of the Stanford University Library, as well as for his engaging personality.

The private library of Gennadii Vasil’evich Yudin (1840–1921) has taken on a life of its own, perpetuating the magnificent bibliographic legacy of its founder for over a century. Yudin, a Siberian merchant who lived for the most part in the city of Krasnoiarsk, diligently amassed one of the largest private libraries of his day in Russia, consisting of books, journals, newspapers, maps, prints and manuscripts in not only Russian but in French, Latin, German, English, Polish, Ukrainian and other languages. Due to a combination of factors, including Yudin’s advanced age and his desire to keep the library extant, Yudin sold the majority of his collection to the Library of Congress in 1906. The sale, however, did not put a stop to Yudin’s indefatigable collecting efforts. Before his death in 1912, it is estimated Yudin acquired approximately 10,000 more volumes, most of which are now preserved in the rare book department of Gosudarstvennaia universal’naia nauchnaia biblioteka Krasnoiarskogo kraia [State universal scientific library of the Krasnoiarsk district]. The volume, Biblioteka Gennadiia Vasil’evicha Iudina: zhizn’ posle zhizni, is a celebration of Yudin’s bibliomania. The book itself is bound in a handsome brown and yellow cover decorated with an attractive floral design. Its large, rectangular size suggests the intention for display as a “coffee-table” book. The lion’s share of content in the book is dedicated to a reprint of Alexis Babine’s description of Yudin’s library, originally published in 1905 in Washington, DC under the title The Yudin library: Krasnoiarsk (Eastern Siberia). Alexis Babine (1866–1930), a Russian émigré originally from the Riazan’ province who worked as a specialist of Russian literature at the Library of Congress from 1902 to 1905, was instrumental in negotiating the sale of Yudin’s collection to his employer. As a result of Babine’s visit to Yudin’s library in 1903 to survey its condition and contents, Babine produced an outline of the collection highlighting its impressive breadth and marveling at its inclusion of numerous bibliographic rarities, including issues of the 18-century publication Irtysh, the first periodical from Siberia. Babine’s sketch remains one of the best sources for providing a sense of the state of Yudin’s library when it was purchased by the Library of Congress. As far as this author can tell, the subject of this review seems to be the first reprint of Babine’s text since its original publication in 1905, which has been digitized by at least three U.S. universities and is available through the HathiTrust digital library. The reprint of Babine’s work in Biblioteka Gennadiia Vasil’evicha Iudina retains the side-by-side versions of the text in English and Russian as was presented in the original and preserves the text’s pre-Revolutionary orthography. In terms of original content, Biblioteka Gennadiia Vasil’evicha Iudina contains two essays – “Vybor sud’by” [The choice of fate] by Leonid Berdnikov,

ABSTRACT This paper explores grassroots community activist art archives and their ability to disseminate and preserve digital protest art in the period surrounding the Belarusian 2020 presidential election. This paper focuses on the cultural aspects of these digital archives and argues that they have become a recent source for describing, defining and communicating Belarusian culture in ways that have challenged the norms of political power and the centrality of the archives of state institutions.

Welcome to the final issue (v. 23, no. 4) of Slavic & East European Information Resources (SEEIR) for 2022, a regular issue. This issues features two research articles, the first being a survey of the library and archives of Christian Brinton (1870–1942) that were donated to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1941; and the second is an extensive history of the Latvian collection at the New York Public Library. The research articles are followed by a description of materials about Russian/ Soviet relations with Japan during the early 20 century, with an emphasis on the Russo-Japanese War, that were recently acquired by the Memorial Library at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Two separate but related pieces are dedicated to recent political activity in Belarus; the first addressing attempts to archive political protests in Belarus from 2020–2021, and the second describing efforts to preserve digital protest art surrounding the 2020 presidential election in Belarus. The issue concludes with reviews of two books. The first is a “reissue” of an early 20century Ukrainian translation of selected poems by Vladimir Mayakovsky that was already being printed when the authorities halted publication of the volume; and the second is an English translation of contemporary Ukrainian poetry by Lyuba Yakimchuk – a response to her experience of living under Russian occupation in the regions of Donbas and Luhansk. The Research Articles section opens with an article by Kristen Regina, Arcadia Director of the Library and Archives at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, entitled: “The Christian Brinton Library and Archives at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.” In this essay, as she calls it, Regina surveys the Museum’s collection of books, pamphlets, and art objects donated by the famous art collector, critic, curator, actor, lecturer, and salesman, Christian Brinton, during the early to mid-20 century. Contextualizing the collection within the history and time-period during which Brinton circulated among several communities of artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts, the author relates important events and episodes from Brinton’s life and career. Some of the most important events include his promotion of Russian émigré artists in New York City and exhibitions of their work; travels to the Soviet Union that led to a series of Russian and Soviet art exhibitions in the United States; and the accumulation of his collection of rare books from all over Europe, the majority of which are of Slavic origin and many of which contain illustrations, lithographs, and prints by famous artists and authors. In addition to describing specific items in the collection, the author relates how Brinton’s SLAVIC & EAST EUROPEAN INFORMATION RESOURCES 2022, VOL. 23, NO. 4, 369–374 https://doi.org/10.1080/15228886.2022.2152236
