The article "Izvestia", dedicated to sorokovinam Yamshchikova, notes that after the death of restorer Pskov council voted to assign him the title of honorary citizen of the city, but the majority of votes were cast against.

P.S. "after the death of restorer Pskov council voted to assign him the title of honorary citizen of the city, but the majority of votes were cast against the" - except that most of the idiots can not call!

Yeah idiots like !!!... is really an honor for Pskov that they had such a citizen!

Interestingly, while in Moscow or in St. Petersburg this exhibition will show?
P.S.
I have an old article "revived pastel colors," in which Savelij Yamshchikov tells how managed to keep hundreds of pastels from the Museum of Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Smolensk, Ryazan, Orel (about 40 museums). For such merits the title of honorary citizen of Pskov - enough!
Not to mention the steel ...

For comparison, - looked, who until 1917, and who in modern times elected honorary citizens of Moscow:

Resolution of the Moscow City Duma on December 20, 1995 № 89 "On approval of regulations and description of the mark, diplomas, certificates of honorary citizen of Moscow and the honorary citizens of the city of Moscow" ...

Maroussia, this exhibition has already been in St. Petersburg in the Exhibition Hall of Artists Union ... Now, perhaps, going to take to Moscow.
