Dear Friends:
I am delighted to welcome everyone to the Russian Nobility Association in America’s
Annual Spring Ball.
Our City’s rich cultural diversity is the source of its singularity and strength and it is
sustained by many wonderful organizations throughout the five boroughs that foster fellowship
and preserve the storied traditions of their communities. Whether hosting festivities like
tonight’s, orchestrating fundraising campaigns for Russian youth, helping seniors access critical
health services or providing scholarships for hardworking students, RNA exemplifies the
generosity and tenacity that define New York. As my team and I work to lift up New Yorkers
from all backgrounds and walks of life, I am grateful for its complementary efforts.
On behalf of the City of New York, best wishes for a wonderful celebration and
continued success.
Sincerely,
Bill de Blasio
Mayor

Today
Our Goals
TT
he Russian Nobility Association, Inc. was formed in 1933 in order to realize two important goals:
to maintain historical truths about Russia and to provide humanitarian assistance.
On the one hand, the Association’s aims are genealogical and historical. It seeks to preserve
cultural memories and national truths of Russian history which, during the Communist regime,
were threatened with extinction. It maintains a library of historical documents. From time to
time, the Association hosts lectures in Russian history to raise funds, a portion of which is
directed to educational resources.
The Association’s aims are thus also philanthropic. To this end, it hosts an annual Russian
Spring Ball. Organized by members of the Ball Committee of the Russian Nobility Association,
the Spring Ball is the Association’s largest fund raising event of the year. This event allows the
Association to realize its most important humanitarian goal: the assistance of disadvantaged
persons both in and outside of Russia who need medical treatment, food and shelter.
Who Receives the Bulk of our Support?
TT
he philanthropic and charitable distributions of the RNA are and have been directed to
orphanages, scouts, old age homes, scholarships for college students, literary journals, and other
needy projects, organizations and individuals. Funds are distributed both in the United States
and abroad.
A Word of Thanks
T
T
he Association cannot provide volunteer and financial support for its philanthropic causes
without your help. It wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate benefactors
and supporters who have given so generously of their time, services and financial resources –
and who have thus made a true and tangible difference in the lives of others. Thanks go to our
corporate sponsors, our loyal and generous patrons, entertainers and musicians, and of course to
the hardworking members of the Ball Committee, especially the Juniors.

Nobility Today
Nobility
t first glance, the idea of nobility – even the word itself – seems rather dated today.
When nobility is invoked, it is usually to sell fashion magazines or Hollywood merchandise.
Nobility invariably clashes with the strictures of our founding fathers who suppressed titles as
incompatible with democracy.
Even so, the old word, like another old word, “honor,” has an important cultural value.
Americans from all walks of life are paying greater attention to their forbears; we are beginning
to admire the achievements of our own and others’ ancestors. In Russia today, there is an
intense interest in the direct descendants of the nobility, an interest that occasionally borders
on the excessive, and includes the fabrication of titles and the assuming of historical family
names. But the search for ancestors and identity and the celebration of the accomplishments of
one’s predecessors reflect a legitimate and necessary commitment to the past. This commitment
takes on an added urgency after 75 years of communist suppression and the liquidation of the
nobility as a class (not to mention the clergy, the intellectuals and kulaks).
In Russian history, the nobility, or more precisely the “service gentry” (dvoryanye) was
known (the word “noble” is derived from the Latin notus – to know) for the ideal of service to
the state and the community. When Peter the Great established the Table of Ranks in 1722,
ennoblement was made attainable through state service. The dvoryanye were responsible for
defending the state against invaders, for organizing agriculture, and for advising the Czars and
their governments. Service carried a sense of honor, and was considered not just a civic duty,
but a privilege. It is noteworthy that women participated in this ideal of service, demonstrating
civic responsibility through charitable work. During the First World War, the daughters of Tsar
Nicholas II actively assisted in the care of the sick and the wounded.
In the field of culture, the Russian nobility created the Golden Age of Russian Literature and
the Arts, producing Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Diaghelev, Tchaikovsky, Berdayev,
Nabokov and Akhmatova. The spiritual heirs and beneficiaries of the culture of the gentry
come from all walks of life. Indeed, Russia is united in its love for its literary heroes and today
there is a strong movement to restore their houses and emulate their virtues.
An important social and aesthetic expression of the Russian nobility was the ball. Introduced
to Russia by Peter the Great, the ball was seen as a means of cultivating beauty, manners and
morality, and as a way to bring people together in friendship and harmony through music and
dance. In our electronic age, such public sharing of values is a rare privilege.
Since the Revolution, the exiled nobility that makes up much of the “First Wave” of
emigration has become self-sacrificing in exile, entering the priesthood and engaging in
charitable work.
When we consider the word nobility today, the ideals of service, charity, personal integrity
and the importance of community come to mind. To conclude with the words of the aristocratic
poet W. B. Yeats (an ideal not always lived up to but always in mind): “Yes, we desire to preserve
into the modern life that ideal (of) four ancient virtues: First, honesty amongst one’s friends.
Second courage amongst one’s enemies. Third, generosity amongst the weak. Fourth, courtesy
at all times, whatsoever.”
Our thanks to Dr. Arkadi Nebolsine for the contents of this page.

The Prince Alexis Scherbatow
Scholarship Fund
THE PRINCE ALEXIS SCHERBATOW
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Again this year it is a pleasure to announce that our Scherbatow Scholarship Fund has
awarded significant financial grants to several deserving young students for the current academic year.
The Prince Alexis Scherbatow Scholarship Fund was established after his death in
2003 to celebrate his life and achievements. He had served for thirty-one years as President of the Russian Nobility Association in America. He taught history and political
science, earned a PhD from Columbia University, worked for The Tolstoy Foundation, aiding Russian immigrants. He received many honors and tributes from Russian,
European and American organizations for his contributions to historical studies. His
memoirs are his “Claim to the Past - that past that belongs to Russia because it was for
Russia that my forbears worked and wrote”.
This year’s scholarship recipients were selected based on a combination of academic record, perceived potential to further RNA ideals and goals, character, and financial need.
We are pleased to have been able to assist these young people with part of the cost of
their education and are most grateful to those whose donations have made this possible.
Additional contributions to the Fund (fully tax deductible) are needed and encouraged.
Donations may be made by check to Russian Nobility Association & sent to Att: Mrs. Roberta
