Well the answer to this question there is : because a single electronic catalog ( with images) decided to replace the registry (no pictures) . Naturally, in order to optimize its operation and the same acceleration
That's who need it, and how does this relate to business Basner - is another matter.

Not quite . When we took the decision to create a single electronic catalog museums of Russia, ordered all museums to digitize their collections and funds allocated to this budget. Means as usual races ... lost , and work without funds is slow, even in the leading museums .
And last year, the Ministry of Culture gave guidelines do not spend more on the catalog , and all the forces to quit the creation of the registry.
Do not know how in such circumstances museums can publish their catalogs

It is in what sense?
What does Bastrikin?

Investigative Committee Petersburg shocked the world of art. In serious fraud in the sale of paintings suspected Elena Basner - the first specialist in the international market painting avant daughter cult Soviet composer who wrote your favorite song Vladimir Putin "Where the Motherland Begins ". On January 31, a key figure in the camera is placed on the absolute range of urban culture. "Fontanka" learned , as a long-term deal pushed the head of the UK Alexander Bastrykin and that reputation was under attack Russian Museum .

I think that in this case there was quite banal stage any large investigation. Quantity turned into quality. Cultural community it may be perceived as a cultural shock and bloody repression of the regime. Yet everyone agrees that bloody regime to counterfeits hardly any bearing on them . A cultural community can not see that hard work, which is carried journalists reserchery , honest police - yes, there are - painstakingly collecting all sorts bumazhonki , left examination , photos of clones and other trash . And in 99%without any hope of success.
  Unlikely Basner someone seriously needed, but the fact that it stands for is the St. Petersburg group, which has already got all their Gorbatova , Nesterov , Grigorieva , etc.
If you have caught it in the present and not off the hook to it , or it will begin to take friends or really to jail for several years.
Sorry for her , but every man chooses his own destiny.

Aha, there's what it was.

Well, OK, and then I missed about Bastrykina.

The main thing is to "Fontanka" not issued rumors or someone for insider joke.
