Yesterday in Irkutsk a press conference was held on the occasion of my donating to the Muravyov-Amursky Irkutsk Regional Museum of Local Lore a letter from my collection written by the last Governor-General of Irkutsk, Alexander Ivanovich Pilts.

As it turned out, the museum's holdings contained not a single exhibit relating to Pilts, who held the governor's post in 1916-1917\. And so my contribution to the museum's collection became the first authentic object connected with the life of Alexander Pilts, Actual State Councillor and Deputy Minister of the Interior.

The Siberian [media](https://www.irk.ru/news/20220906/letter/?utm%5Fsource=rss&utm%5Fmedium=rss%5Ffeed&utm%5Fcampaign=rss1) have [written](https://www.irk.kp.ru/online/news/4906973/?ref=theparnassian.com) about this story in greater detail.
