## Notes on absent subjects

- **A. F. Marks** (publisher of Niva): no portrait photograph found on Wikimedia Commons under any search variant. The Adolf Fyodorovich Marks who published Resurrection in Niva does not appear to have a Commons entry. Absent from this sweep.
- **Yasnaya Polyana study / working room interior**: Commons search for Yasnaya Polyana study/study-room returned no period interior photographs. The estate exterior and grounds are present in other searches (Gorky+Tolstoy 1900 photo covers the setting).
- **Excommunication document visual**: The 1901 Synod decree text is a text document; no photographic record of the signing found on Commons.
