"William Brumfield's "Lost Russia" provides a poignant account in words and in powerful images of the devastation imposed on the Russian landscape by the Soviet regime. He has managed to weave both media together into a seamless fabric."--Blair A. Ruble, Director, Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies
"Brumfield is one of the leading Western scholars today in the history of Russian architecture."--Nicholas V. Riasanovsky, University of California, Berkeley
