Dear Friends:
Dobriy vecher! I am delighted to welcome you all to the Russian Nobility Association in America’s Annual Spring Ball.
New York’s greatest strength is the power of its diverse people – including a thriving population of Russian Americans – and we are proud of our residents’ shared desire to lift each other up and give back to their communities. Since 1933, the Russian Nobility Association has exemplified the spirit of generosity that defines the five boroughs. By sponsoring lecture series and raising funds to support scholarships, historical archives, elder care, and children’s hospitals and orphanages, RNA improves the lives of vulnerable people, unites Russian residents in fellowship, and preserves a rich heritage. I applaud its efforts to help those in need and enhance the cultural vitality of our global city.
On behalf of the City of New York, please accept my best wishes for a festive evening and continued success.
Sincerely,
Bill de Blasio Mayor
TheThe RussianRussian NobilityNobility Association Association TodayToday
Our Goals
The Russian Nobility Association, Inc. was formed in 1933 in order to realize two important goals: T to maintain historical truths about Russia and to provide humanitarian assistance. On the one hand, the Association’s aims are genealogical and historical. It seeks to preserve cultural memories and national truths of Russian history which, during the Communist regime, were threatened with extinction. It maintains a library of historical documents. From time to time, the Association hosts lectures in Russian history to raise funds, a portion of which is directed to educational resources. The Association’s aims are thus also philanthropic. To this end, it hosts an annual Russian Spring Ball. Organized by members of the Ball Committee of the Russian Nobility Association, the Spring Ball is the Association’s largest fund raising event of the year. This event allows the Association to realize its most important humanitarian goal: the assistance of disadvantaged persons both in and outside of Russia who need medical treatment, food and shelter.
Who Receives the Bulk of our Support? The philanthropic and charitable distributions of the RNA are and have been directed to T orphanages, scouts, old age homes, scholarships for college students, literary journals, and other needy projects, organizations and individuals. Funds are distributed both in the United States and abroad.
A Word of Thanks T he Association cannot provide volunteer and financial support for its philanthropic causes T without your help. It wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate benefactors and supporters who have given so generously of their time, services and financial resources – and who have thus made a true and tangible difference in the lives of others. Thanks go to our corporate sponsors, our loyal and generous patrons, entertainers and musicians, and of course to the hardworking members of the Ball Committee, especially the Juniors. Nobility Nobility Today AA t first glance, the idea of nobility – even the word itself – seems rather dated today. When nobility is invoked, it is usually to sell fashion magazines or Hollywood merchandise. Nobility invariably clashes with the strictures of our founding fathers who suppressed titles as incompatible with democracy. Even so, the old word, like another old word, “honor,” has an important cultural value. Americans from all walks of life are paying greater attention to their forbears; we are beginning to admire the achievements of our own and others’ ancestors. In Russia today, there is an intense interest in the direct descendants of the nobility, an interest that occasionally borders on the excessive, and includes the fabrication of titles and the assuming of historical family names. But the search for ancestors and identity and the celebration of the accomplishments of one’s predecessors reflect a legitimate and necessary commitment to the past. This commitment takes on an added urgency after 75 years of communist suppression and the liquidation of the nobility as a class (not to mention the clergy, the intellectuals and kulaks). In Russian history, the nobility, or more precisely the “service gentry” (dvoryanye) was known (the word “noble” is derived from the Latin notus – to know) for the ideal of service to the state and the community. When Peter the Great established the Table of Ranks in 1722, ennoblement was made attainable through state service. The dvoryanye were responsible for defending the state against invaders, for organizing agriculture, and for advising the Czars and their governments. Service carried a sense of honor, and was considered not just a civic duty, but a privilege. It is noteworthy that women participated in this ideal of service, demonstrating civic responsibility through charitable work. During the First World War, the daughters of Tsar Nicholas II actively assisted in the care of the sick and the wounded. In the field of culture, the Russian nobility created the Golden Age of Russian Literature and the Arts, producing Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Diaghelev, Tchaikovsky, Berdayev, Nabokov and Akhmatova. The spiritual heirs and beneficiaries of the culture of the gentry come from all walks of life. Indeed, Russia is united in its love for its literary heroes and today there is a strong movement to restore their houses and emulate their virtues. An important social and aesthetic expression of the Russian nobility was the ball. Introduced to Russia by Peter the Great, the ball was seen as a means of cultivating beauty, manners and morality, and as a way to bring people together in friendship and harmony through music and dance. In our electronic age, such public sharing of values is a rare privilege. Since the Revolution, the exiled nobility that makes up much of the “First Wave” of emigration has become self-sacrificing in exile, entering the priesthood and engaging in charitable work. When we consider the word nobility today, the ideals of service, charity, personal integrity and the importance of community come to mind. To conclude with the words of the aristocratic poet W. B. Yeats (an ideal not always lived up to but always in mind): “Yes, we desire to preserve into the modern life that ideal (of) four ancient virtues: First, honesty amongst one’s friends. Second courage amongst one’s enemies. Third, generosity amongst the weak. Fourth, courtesy at all times, whatsoever.”

Again this year it is a pleasure to announce that our Scherbatow Scholarship Fund has awarded significant financial grants to several deserving young students for the cur- rent academic year. The Prince Alexis Scherbatow Scholarship Fund was established after his death in 2003 to celebrate his life and achievements. He had served for thirty-one years as Pres- ident of the Russian Nobility Association in America. He taught history and political science, earned a PhD from Columbia University, worked for The Tolstoy Founda- tion, aiding Russian immigrants. He received many honors and tributes from Russian, European and American organizations for his contributions to historical studies. His memoirs are his “Claim to the Past - that past that belongs to Russia because it was for Russia that my forbears worked and wrote”. This year’s scholarship recipients were selected based on a combination of academic re- cord, perceived potential to further RNA ideals and goals, character, and financial need. We are pleased to have been able to assist these young people with part of the cost of their education and are most grateful to those whose donations have made this possible. Additional contributions to the Fund (fully tax deductible) are needed and encouraged. Donations may be made by check to Russian Nobility Association & sent to Att: Mrs. Roberta Maged, DRG International Inc. 841 Mountain Avenue, Springfield, NJ 07081 The RussianTHE RUSSIAN NOBILITYNobility ASSOCIATION Association MembershipMEMBERSHIP InformationINFORMATION

“Allez! Allez!” 2011, drawing pen and ink (sepia) on paper, 22”X30”, Salon 2011 de la Nationale des Beaux - Arts, Musee du Louvre, Paris. Travel down Russia’s Spine
In the Fall of 2015, Russian and American journalists Mikhail Mordasov and Paul E. Richardson traveled 6,000 kilometers from Russia’s northwestern corner in the Arctic to Sochi, in the tropical climes of the Black Sea. This coffee table book is the largely photographic journal of that epic road trip. It includes over 200 compelling images of Russians and Russian places met along the way, plus a dozen texts (in both English and Russian) on everything from business to education, from roads to fools. A high quality, hardcover photo book, The Spine of Russia is a vivid portrait of modern Russian life, and includes over 40 environmental portraits of Shipping in June “heroes” interviewed in depth by the (taking orders now) journalists. Organized in a unique, non-linear style to allow readers to construct their own trip across Russia, The Spine of Russia by Paul E. Richardson & Mikhail Mordasov this is a volume you will treasure for 200 pages, hardcover • $60 years to come. To order, phone 800-639-4301, or visit russianlife.com.
So powerful were the interviews and the impressions left by the Spine of Russia road trip, that co-traveler Paul Richardson felt compelled to create this travel essay book – to share the full story of the journey that could never fit into the planned coffee table book. In the tradition of Hedrick Smith’s classic work, The Russians, this 330-page, text-only volume seeks to bring the voices of regular Russians to the fore. It includes complete profiles and interviews of all the “heroes” interviewed, stories about every adventure (and misadventure) across Russia, plus compelling digressions on historical and cultural topics, to provide context.
Driving Down Russia’s Spine, by Paul E. Richardson Shipping in May 330 pages, paperback • $15 (taking orders now) To order, phone 800-639-4301, visit russianlife.com CongratulationsCongratulations
