just a warning, these prints are the ones held by them and so are not exactly definitive eg medvezhya svadba - utterly gorgeous print, miles better than what's available elsewhere, but chopped to nonsense, so much so that it bears (huh) no relation to what it's meant to be about.
but the print of raskolnikow looks beyond belief improvement to the scratchy blurry pointlessness of the one most people have seen.
