- Introduction:
Before the exhibition in Ghent (Belgium) on November 1923, the U.I.C.L. wrote to the Grand Duke Nicolas Nikolayevich, who at that time was exiled in France, asking him to designate the Russians who would be most capable of judging the Borzoi race at this exhibition. In response, the Grand Duke suggested a college of three judges, in the same way it was done at the demonstrations of the Imperial Society of Moscow … He designated Mr. Artem Boldareff and the Counts Boris and Dimitri Cheremeteff.
