  1. Congratulations on your offer! Which option did you apply for, if you don't mind me asking? I think the Courtauld scholarships are open to international applicants, but not the AHRC. There is more information on funding here: http://www.courtauld.ac.uk/degreeprogrammes/generalinformation/funding.shtml
  2. It really depends on which period you would like to focus on. There are few academics who are experts in the 'whole' of Russian art, and many will restrict their field of enquiry to very short periods, given the huge amount of socio-historical and political themes which tend to be attached to studies in Russian visual art. Also note that many potential advisors in this area will not be based in the department of art history of a university, but perhaps in languages and literatures, or Slavonic studies departments. I am in the UK, and certainly most specialists in the field of Russian art of any period tend to be contained within the Russian & Eastern European Studies sections, and as I look more and more at the US schools, the same seems to be the case. My advice would be to look at the seminal books or important articles written on your prospective topic, and look up the authors to find the departments they teach in. This is how I am going about finding potential PhD supervisors, as Russian specialists can be hard to track down. I know in the UK it is not usually a problem to do an inter-departmental research degree, but it may be more complicated in the US where there is a much heavier coursework element. This might be something to research also.
