Beautifully written tribute Ariel, and well describes the profoundly important contributions this wonderful lady gave us over all these years, opening the doors to learning on the weaponry of the Caucusus and others.
While these as you note were regrettably not translated from Russian, the good fortune for those of us as non speakers has been that scholars and writers such as Kirill Rivkin and yourself filtered her knowledge and work into books and material that is in English.
Her works and study thus will stand as her legacy and gift to us all.
May she rest in peace, and our gratitude to her reigns always.
