George de Roerich

George Nicolas de Roerich (Russian: Юрий Николаевич Рёрих, romanized: Yury Nikolayevich Ryorikh, IPA: [ˈjʉrʲɪj nʲɪkəˈlajɪvʲɪtɕ ˈrʲɵrʲɪx]; August 16, 1902, in Okulovka, Novgorod Governorate – May 21, 1960, in Moscow) was a Russian Tibetologist. Roerich's work encompassed many areas of Tibetan studies, but in particular he is known for his contributions to Tibetan dialectology, his monumental translation of the Blue Annals, and his 11-volume Tibetan–Russian–English dictionary (published posthumously).

George was the son of the painter and explorer Nicholas Roerich and Helena Roerich.
