Beginning of Russian Bibliographical Statistics... The Great Soviet Encyclopedia adopts as Russians many of the European admirers of St. P. who spent much of their lives in Russia. H. F. Storch, a German born in Riga and called Andrei Karlovich Shtorkh in his adoptive country, is, according to the GSE, a Russian economist, historian and bibliographer. It was he who compiled – with the "Patron Saint of ‘Russian' librarians" Friedrich von Adelung – the five-year review of Russian literature, 1810-1811 that marked the beginning of Russian bibliographical statistics.
