In the Russian museums have missed 242 of thousands of objects
 

During a comprehensive audit of Russian museums by the Ministry of Culture, found the absence of 242 thousand items, of which 24.5 thousand are wanted the Russian Interior Ministry said Tuesday Consultant, Department of Museums, Ministry of Culture of Russia Lyubov Molchanova.
A comprehensive safety inspection of Cultural Property in the museums of the Russian Federation, was conducted over the past three years after a major theft of exhibits from the Hermitage. Since 2007, the museum was tested in 1881 (97%of the total number of museums) with a total stock of storage 73 million items.
Of the 219,000 items missing part, perhaps, was also kidnapped, but most should be found in the process of collation and analysis of funds.
She also noted that the audit identified areas of the transfer of museum values the heads of regions and state agencies, to check the safety of exhibits for which becomes difficult.
«The governors of some people like to do such things when they say: Give us from the museum . (RIA Novosti)
can not say about the governor, but I know the mayor (former) of a southern city, a team which the city administration has been decorated with paintings from the store of the local museum. Director of the museum took a long drink valokordin, but could not refuse ...

That is, missed 0, 34%. This, in my opinion, quite normal, given that much of this - not the result of theft, but the result of bad policies (which, of course, is a good motivation for theft).
But this should be done, first, openly and transparently tailored for the appropriate legal framework, and secondly, while ensuring appropriate conditions for display and preservation, and thirdly, to develop selection criteria, so as not to risk masterpieces, if not security conditions.
And how it is, why not show that otherwise no one will see. After all, in the reserves are stored, usually much larger than displayed in ekspoiitsii. And in government offices is a lot of people. Let the enlightened.

And from our Museum of Art tried to take the work twice.
The first time was when Putin visited Dnepropetrovsk.
So come mongrel from the Department of Culture and say, they say let's remove from the exposition work Aivazovsky, we will give it to Putin.
What headmistress told them that would remove from the wall, just in case it itself and will give Putin's hands. At the same time said that he asked him, as if to say whether he needed the work Aivazovs'kogo that the Germans were rescued, but now removed to bestow.
For these words thrown at her retirement, but they work, they would never give.
The second time came Shawky and demanded for registration cabinet governor five works Glushchenko. What also got to the gate turn. Works like it is agreed to give, but my restorer will have to strengthen them. No restorer strengthened the governor removed from office.
At the story was over.

If not recorded, then could not be short. Or nominate an internship ... How? That's private museums and collections may be incompetent, but always on the contrary, like art and do everything as it should ... not without exceptions, of course ... I know one such collection ...

Incredibly ... I think he if he wants, he could afford to buy Aivazov. Pictures are available and are completely lifting money. Why him these scandals? The strange story ... most likely an invention ... such stories has always been a lot ... They concocted by the people or the yellow press, which is the same, and go overgrown details. Yes, this is not a gift but it put! ;)

but is likely to take for someone or someone to sell, but blamed on Putin, he has in fact no one will not be checked.

Maybe so. Although it is unlikely.
The aim was the type of which I spoke. And the director fired for her boldness, to retire. Although she now works in the scientific secretary.
And the significance of my own, I did not pick up, I'm not proud.
And do not see the need to raise its value.
