| Zusammenfassung: | This article traces the work of Ivan Nestor-Schnurmann (1852-1917), a man who fostered and encouraged interest in the study of the Russian language in the United Kingdom during a time during which Britain showed relatively little interest in the language before the alliance with Russia in World War I led to an explosion of learning opportunities. Muckle discusses the contributions of Nestor-Schnurmann and other Russian language enthusiasts at work as early as the 1880s and characterizes the context in which they labored.
