History of the Russian Blue?

A Russian Blue is also known as the Archangel Blue. Some believe that the Russian Blue first went to England and Northern Europe from the Archangel Isles by sailors in the 1890s. They were first recorded in England in the Crystal Palace as the Archangel Cat in 1985. It was classed with other blue cats until it was given its own class in 1912. Until World War II the Russian Blue was developed in both Russia and Scandinavia but during and after, the shortage of Russian Blues made some breeders cross the Russian Blue with the Siamese cat. The modern Russian Blue was created after WWII by American breeders which are still in the US. They combined the Scandinavian and English Blue bloodlines while breeding out the Siamese traits of the Russian Blue.
