Notes on Elena Tsareva


Elena Tsareva is a delightful person whose brilliance is only matched by her incredible warmth, wit, and charm.  Tsareva  is a Curator at the Russian Ethnographic Museum in St. Petersburg Russia. I met here in Washington DC  in the late 1990s where we had a chance to examine the ensi that is illustrated here.  Tsareva  is considered one of the world's foremost experts on Turkmen Rugs.
