Interesting. If this gift makes Rutgers the leading center for Soviet non-conformist art, I wonder if we have a comparable world-class Soviet studies department (or program within History / Poly Sci)

Rutgers was already the leading center for non-conformist Soviet art. Go to the Zimmerli and you'll see. This gift just confirms our stature. BTW, the Camden law school had a pair of specialists in Soviet law (one specialist was born in Russia, the other was born in Poland but spent extensive time in Russia during World War II), both, unfortunately, gone from the law school due to retirement.

Rutgers has the largest collection of Soviet non-conformist art outside of Russia.
