Ironically, I think that individual property claims have a greater chance of success. But you're right, it all came off the field searchlights, unfortunately, now I have no way to do it - and as we would like ...

LCR, if the time to pay, what then will remain in the Pushkin? The Hermitage?

Grandmother must have relatives, any adequate grandchildren ... It's clear that she was - judging by the photo, "God's dandelion" - to challenge the property will not, but that she had not requested.
Until then it was necessary to diminish the same people! I think that she is happy by the fact that survived (probably in an orphanage!), Lived to be 80 years old and she was even allowed to recall a happy, rich childhood - the daughter of the composer all the same, the very portrait Konchalovsky wrote ... And then - as they say - Face of teybl ...

Not necessarily to get expertise in the fund.
Tretyakov Gallery will give you expertise, signed by Ermakova and Gladkova.
And this is perfectly normal!
Ermakova, and is considered an expert in the fund, but this does not mean that it is forbidden to give expert from the Tretyakov Gallery in which it operates.
After Tretyakovka still gives expertise.
My friends did, have expertise in the Tretyakov Gallery. And when I phoned them today in Moscow and asked, I said, why get in the fund, if the same Ermakova and sign and in the fund and the Tretyakov Gallery.
So go for it! Nobody's self-esteem, you do not infringe in any way infringe upon the right fund.
But the adopted daughter of Lydia Ruslanova, Ms. Kryukov, took all the paintings from the Tretyakov Gallery which had been confiscated. When her father, General Kryukov and Ruslanova were imprisoned.

I'm just looking for information on Konchalovsky, stumbled upon this outrage and indignation. I wrote on this forum only in connection with a given topic.
In general, I appreciate all the horrible fact that you share my outrage and so active. If I perebalamutila people, it is quite out of altruistic motives. I do not know - whether alive Camilla Maksimovna, where she is who she is and her relatives. Moreover, 20 years dwell outside of Russia.
But the fact that you all responded to the offensive, from my point of view, the situation is simply great!
But! Everything humanly possible. If someone finds it possible for you (and real) to help this old woman, then - help. Will be reckoned.
