The Smolny Institute

Watch as we explore The Imperial Educational Society of Noble Maidens through the lens of a rare family photo album!

In “Elite Education in Pre-Revolutionary Russia: The Imperial Educational Society of Noble Maidens," Dr. Nancy Kovaleff Baker guides an overview of the history of the Smolny and its impressive educational offerings. Dr. Baker's photo album belonging either to her grandmother or great-aunt (both graduates of the institute) provides visuals for this talk.
