Perhaps the most notorious "cultural" crime of recent years was the theft of paintings from Vyaznikovskogo Art and History Museum in the night from 25 to 26 August 2013 . Recall , the thieves were in the museum hall after closing , and hid when the room was only a caretaker - female retirement age, came out of hiding . Tied old woman threatened and carried out of the museum's three paintings : "The Forest . Ate " work Shishkin , " First Snow "( artist - S.Yu.Zhukovsky ) and" Fisherman "( artist - KAKorovin ) . Estimated value of the stolen masterpieces is 462 thousand rubles, but this figure is , of course, conditional - connoisseurs of each of the masters can fork out for the original and more. Investigation into the theft was a criminal case , but six months later, law enforcement agencies failed to advance in the investigation.
Incidentally, according to the most optimistic estimates of the International Research Foundation art only about 10%of stolen art returned to owners . In the same Vyaznikovsky Museum in 1985 was kidnapped script Aivazovsky "Black Sea" - the picture is still not found .
And the problem is probably not that bad looking . According operatives AMIA Vladimir Region ( their names for obvious reasons we can not disclose right ) , the complexity in discovering such crimes lies primarily in the fact that the majority of burglaries committed stolen to order and settles in private collections.
Museums thieves - a special category . They can come in the guise of museum visitors learn how the sensors are located . In addition, all information about museums posted on the site and is widely available . Though and operatives have their secrets . For example, work closely with collectors , auctioneers , persons previously committed such crimes , the creation of his " intelligence " network in this environment. It happens that the right information comes through third parties , but it turns out that same thread with which unravels the whole ball offense.
However, the police believe that the loss of a masterpiece is easier to prevent than to long and labor-intensive search . In other words - the protection of our museums need to be tightened. The maximum that can today afford small museums in the Russian province - is panic buttons . And that not everyone can afford such a "luxury" ! Uncover the terrible secret museum : fire alarm with on central monitoring point set just 13 museums of the region !
Note that most of the museums of Vladimir region - municipal , therefore, responsible for the safety of the exhibits are LSG . This burden under the force of each municipality . A number of museums, in accordance with the regional law , listed an annual subsidy to the protection of museum objects that are in the regional property , but deposited in local government . But as they say the museum staff in regional centers , the money is barely enough to alarm. Assistance to be effective , you need to take a serious program at regional level , and to monitor the pre - for example, what the museum as camcorders necessary.
First step towards a "cultural security" area can be considered work to create an electronic catalog exhibits masterpieces perpetuated in the " figure" . And if you have a digital image of a museum exhibit , it is easier to find in the case of inventory or missing . Unified Register of the most famous cultural values in the Vladimir region being Vladimir- Suzdal museum . By the way, the image of stolen paintings were Vyazniky immediately after the theft transferred to the Ministry of Culture , and it increases the chance to find them. Sell paintings or take them out of Russia will be difficult.
Another measure preventing criminal attacks on the historical and cultural values - strict control by the museum staff . Terms of employee access to storage facilities , removal of masterpieces from the walls of the museum for research , restoration, exhibitions defined instructions and orders of museum directors . Measure is not superfluous , if you think about the disappearance of scandals with rarities from the Hermitage. Then ( in 2006) created a special commission to reconcile the museum collections in Russia, during which it was tested fifteen hundred museums and found missing 22460 art objects. By the way , the act of checking Vladimir-Suzdal Museum from June 16, 2007 noted the absence of items 54 and 26 of the main fund - auxiliary science , a total of 80 items , including the world-famous archaeological finds Sungirskoy Paleolithic .
However, in fairness , we note : museum theft though have great resonance , occur much less theft from churches. For the cultural heritage in the ROC today meet all and none . And at the federal level , oddly enough , the picture is even sadder than we have in the region.
- The main reason contributing to commit thefts from churches , is the absence of intruder alarm systems . Penetration is usually accomplished by breaking the front door lock , the census grill or putting glass in the window, - said the deputy head of the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Vladimir Region Andrei Tutu. - Protection of the temples, churches at night is provided by parishioners, who because of age, health status and the lack of specific skills can not fully ensure the safety of the cultural values in the temples . As a rule, these people only report to law enforcement agencies about crimes already committed .
Confirmation of the above , we found in the summary of 20 November last year. Around midnight unknown broke the lock and entered the premises of the Holy Temple in Paraskevinskogo with . Friday Gus Crystal area. The attacker stole 39 icons. Each icon festive series costs about 30-40 thousand rubles , the icon " Entry into Jerusalem " - 400 000 rubles. This criminal case .
It is clear that the exhortations of the " Cross on you, tyrants , no! " Hardly reach the ears and hearts of thieves icons and other religious objects . Other measures are required , and must take them and law enforcement , and clergy . For example, organize a decent protection and as well as in museums, take photos and videofiksatsiyu and full description of the objects of worship with the preparation of a database of all subjects exposed to a hidden label. As we reported in the Ministry of Internal Affairs Vladimir Region , such work has been going on in many churches in the region.
But perhaps the best way to prevent "cultural" , as well as other crimes remains the realization of inevitability of punishment . Kidnappers cultural and historical values may receive up to 15 years in prison for their illegal acts. Precedents exist. July 10, 2013 judgment of the District Court of Suzdal local resident previously convicted for stealing Dengin icons of Suzdal Rizopolozhensky convent ( the value of stolen material - 20 thousand rubles ) was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months imprisonment in a penal colony . His example , as they say, another science .
