Note on Translation, Transliteration, and Abbreviations

When citing these sources, I have preserved their transliteration of proper names. When no English source is cited, all translations from the Russian are mine. In bibliographical notes, I have used the following abbreviations for the titles of Russian journals, collections of works, and anthologies: N V Nevrologicheskii vestnik O Z Otechestvennye zapiski P P P V Priiatnoe i poleznoe preprovozhdenie vremeni P S S Polnoe sobranie sochinenii P S S P Polnoe sobranie sochinenii i pisem R S P P.
