	Race Matters - Imperial Russia, Now In Color
		N the dying years of imperial Russia, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorsky undertook a great photographic experiment: commissioned by Nicholas II, Prokudin-Gorsky traveled the country from 1905 to 1915, documenting the sights, flavors and especially the people of the Russian empire, then displaying the results with an experimental three-color projector.
		But as his crude technology, which relied on exposures for each color, fell into disuse in the last century, the photographs were accessible only as fl-and-white prints or as negatives of the individual color separations.
		That world is on display in "The Empire That Was Russia: The Prokudin-Gorsky Photographic Record Recreated," an exhibition at the library.

		What won't be talked about -- at the insistence of Russia, and with the West's acquiescence -- are three other OSCE countries where Russian imperial meddling is underway: Georgia, Moldova and Belarus.
		At the 1999 OSCE conference, the last when Boris Yeltsin was president, Russia promised to withdraw its remaining troop garrisons from Georgia and Moldova by 2002.
