Yesterday ceased to function the central office Rosokhrankultura, liquidated by presidential decree in February of this year. However, the Ministry of Culture, which by order of the authority of the supervisory authority, the new structure has not yet been established. Thus, federal control of protection of cultural heritage is actually canceled. The details - ANNA Pushkarskaya.


Acting. Rosokhrankultura head Viktor Petrakov confirmed the correspondent of "Kommersant" that the majority of central office staff from yesterday sent on leave. Ministry of Finance at the request of the Minister of Culture Alexander Avdeev urgently considering the allocation of salary funds liquidated agency for temporary extension of its activities, which was scheduled to end July 4 (see "Kommersant" on May 31).

Moreover, its key functions (licensing restoration activities, monitoring of the regional bodies of the monuments, the regulation of urban development in the areas of security, etc.) Rosokhrankultura lost another 7 June - the date of entry into force of Government Decree N 399. This document the White House gave appropriate authority the Ministry of Culture, without waiting for its reform. As a result, "the elimination of agency is in the form of quartering and not civilized merger", - stated the source of "b" in the Rosokhrankultura.


According to him, this led to a legal vacuum, because of which the central office staff Rosokhrankultura become technical artists.

According to the head of state protection of historical and cultural Rosokhrankultura Alexander Rabotkevich, June 7, has lost the main powers in the Ministry of Culture Office has sent hundreds of applications around the restoration of companies to extend the licenses for the restoration activity. Without such a license work on the monuments of culture are not possible, they will have to stop. How many objects of restoration will be frozen because of unrenewed licenses, no one counted.


The same situation with certification experts and agree on town-planning documents, too, is the responsibility of the central apparatus Rosokhrankultura. Liquidated office suddenly lost the right to review the legality of reconstruction and restoration of federal monuments. And among them - the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow Kremlin, the New Jerusalem Monastery, the Kronstadt Naval Cathedral.

They are confirmed yesterday, "b" interviewed officials, in fact, already reassigned the Ministry of Culture, but legally and regional bodies Rosokhrankultura located on their territory, federal monuments were left alone with the local authorities and investors. "We are not only unable to carry out routine inspections, but did not have the right to respond to the prosecutor's office on the inspection of specific objects in relation to the complaints filed," - said Mr. Rabotkevich. According to him, in fact 80%of the functions Rosokhrankultura already blocked. And lost part of professional staff, and the remaining employees do not have any information about his prospects.


"Two months from the date of notification to employees of its liquidation Rosokhrankultura expired. We expect that in the coming days will be signed by government decree, which will be approved the new position of the Ministry and its new structure - confirmed yesterday," Y "in charge of Rosokhrankultura Deputy Culture Minister Andrei Gagarin .- The project, agreed June 21 Commission on Administrative Reform, the Minister of Culture will be fifth deputy, who will oversee the protection of cultural heritage.

What happened to Rosokhrankultura and their publication " of the missing painting ?"
U.S. Department of Homeland Security found that at least one of these publications was entirely false and fraudulent.
At least one American auction house, has complained that Mr Petrakov , Acting Head of Department , he knowingly made a false claim against a picture offered at auction in the United States as part of the extortion scheme.

Who will answer for Rosokhrankultura on these issues?

russiaart, please give a link.
Where published about the State Department, extortion, etc.?

THe auction has not wanted to make a scandal, but the fraudulent catalog of "missing paintings" that I know of was the Former Catalog #4 - paintings By Ivan Godlevsky. The "missing paintings" were actually sold by the artist in France in the early '90s. Many of the paintings were actually painted in France (many are scenes of Corsica) and have never been in Russia ever. Many of the others were offered or sold at auction in France . The entire catalog is a fabrication by Vladimir Kaplunov against his former employer and partner, who has obtained a judgment against him in the Supreme Court of New York. You can verify the two million dollar Judgment against Vladimir Kaplunov for Fraud and art theft online with the New York Courts.

you can see these things for yourself online, Including the judgment against Vladimir Kaplunov for art theft and fraud. the Story of the artist Ivan Godlevsky is well documented as he was the most popular postwar Russian impressionist artist at the auctions in Europe in the 1990s. Kaplunov was involved in these sales and used his knowledge to make this fraudulent catalog. Why Rosokhrankultura would publish such catalog is the question.

Kaplunov has made this claim part of his website igodlevsky.ru. The catalog is a fraud and there is absolutely no documentation even sited in the catalog. Kaplunov even states on his website that he knows who has the paintings, and that person was his business partner in 2002 and has a judgment against Vladimir Kaplunov for theft and fraud from this art business.
