There is a lot of literature. I recommend the books that I studied myself and those that I read later:
There is an excellent collection of Bannikov's articles about Russian collectors of the 18th and 20th centuries, published in 2008 by Indrik publishing house.

At the same time, I was introduced to a popular book by the famous Soviet historian Bokhanov, “Collectors and Patrons of Art in Russia.” The book was published by Nauka in 1989 in the series “Pages of the History of Our Motherland”.
