Footnotes

Nikich-Krilichevskiy was born in Petrograd (formerly St. Petersburg) in 1918 and graduated from the Surikov Art Institute in 1942. He was an accomplished socialist realist and in the 1980s he was appointed Secretary of the Union of Soviet Artists, a high ranking position given in recognition of his achievements. His works were widely exhibited; one of the first groundbreaking exhibitions of Soviet art abroad, Aspects of Contemporary Soviet Art organized at the Grosvenor Gallery in London in 1964, included seven paintings by Nikich.

In recent years his paintings have appeared in exhibitions organized at the Phyllis Kind Gallery in Chicago (1987), at The Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis (2006) and the Derfner Judaica Museum at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale in New York (2013). Other paintings by the artist are at the Springville Museum of Art, Utah and the Derfner Judaica Museum, Bronx, New York.
