The Russian Museum in Peterburg is the third big collection of fine 
arts and is distinct from Hermitage. Russian Museum contains mainly 
paintings while Hermitage - miscellaneuos objects of arts because it 
is former emperor's palace.

Besides two main literary archives which I have mentioned in the 
previous letter on the subject, there is also department of written 
sources in State Historical Museum.
