From the museum in the Vladimir region stole the painting "Forest" by Ivan Shishkin, "Fisherman" Konstantin Korovin and "First Snow" by Stanislav Zhukovsky. The robbers carried canvases night before Vyazniky of Art and History Museum. Masked men at first hid in the museum, then tied up the guard and stole the picture.

Find traces of the missing paintings are usually not easy. They soon lost in private collections - the experts say

The usual story !
Money for the protection of the no . And the security guards to protect themselves ....
'62 Man , woman .... Which with her ​​bodyguard ?
Just create special conditions for the thieves.
On the other hand look at the situation as we find the following , as it is , and was gone.
The Bolsheviks then robbing people and then sold abroad for hard currency .
It's a shame all the same , I would cut off the hand of spoilers . For one started .

And what is this "private collection " are the owners of which do not stop stolen ? Examples are possible? Talk possible? The punishment for these " collectors " perhaps? After all, these pictures are public , the announcement of the theft is known , it is impossible to say " do not know " . Or arrogance in this field is , by default, permissible ?

It's not so often lie at criminals , until not try to sell. Exactly at this point, they will realize that it is much more difficult than to make them from a museum guard tied . And ( or) will be caught in the exchange of paintings for money, or will hide them in the hope of selling when things calm down , again mistaken .
Here is the correct picture.
PS.
Small museums would like to advise to spread the image of the pictures online and it will be a good prevention against burglars .

Vyazniki - a city in Russia , the administrative center of the Vyazniky Vladimir region . Center for Urban Settlement "City Vyazniki ." The population of 41,248 people (2010 ) .
The city is located on the right bank of the river on the east side Kliazma Gorokhovets spur , 93 km from Vladimir on the motorway M7 "Volga ».
Wikipedia .

official representative of the MOI of Russia Vladimir Basov of Anna clarified that the representatives of the museum did not provide documents about the authenticity of pictures, so to judge the historical and artistic value prematurely. At present, addressed the issue of a criminal case.

I wonder what kind of securities awaiting Research Affairs of the museum?
It seemed to me that the abduction is a kind of presumption of innocence for pictures.
That is,
I affirm that I have stolen Shishkin.
We are looking for a Shishkin, grab thieves, and the questions of authenticity and the extent of damages the court decides.
Not you?

Silent Sapa, you can do it obhohotatsya the situation with the authorities!

They are now on the authenticity of the documents Give!

But how will not steal?

Will!
And how will!

And the thieves themselves know that they take!

Do not become a thief to take fuflyaki?

In fact , some documents about these pictures , they should have at least the presence of them , inventory , etc. , inventory number , signature of custodian, something ...
Not just as they hung on the wall without any registration ...
It is not clear that they razumeli under the " authenticity" ...

Dear K-Maler, very often it happens that museums do not have absolutely nothing ... In addition to the inventory numbers .... well , that image is saved ... so many people think that the museum and there is a full order , but it is not so!
