Issue No. 1 (20) 2021 of "The Art of Eurasia" Journal continues the theme of collections and collectors, which we started in previous issues. This became possible because of the cooperation with colleagues from the Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts of the Russian Academy of Arts. Our authors have done a great and extremely important work on the study of the archives of I.A. Morozov, M.P. Botkin, A.M. Golitsyn, S.P. Vinogradov. The most valuable testimonies from the life of outstanding collectors are introduced into scientific circulation. We are sure that these articles will help many researchers in their work. The formation of any museum, regardless of the country and its scale, is an interesting process, and it is clearly visible how persons always appear who play a leading role in it, form collections with great inspiration, cherish and study works.
