Among them are books on ancient Russian art, the avant-garde, culture, architecture, photography, theatre, and cinema, as well as old catalogues and magazines, editions with autographs and research annotations. Sarabianov, who made a definitive contribution to the study of Russian art from the 19th to the early 20th century, amassed this library throughout his lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\">\n<figure ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/watchrussia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/img_2455-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1944\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 Sarabianov Art Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new public library has found its home in a specially designed space within the Suzdal Kremlin.
