Who often, since the Soviet era was in the Bolshoi, he remembers how many Russian crystal in silver was in the cafeteria of the Bolshoi Theater.
Multi shelves bursting with an enormous number of vases, zhardinerok, rooks, jugs, decanters.
And so, during perestroika, when he came to the theater, I asked, surprised his friends, theater - where does all this wealth has disappeared?
In the buffer shelf almost nothing left. Gaping void or were just meaningless gross Soviet porcelain knickknacks.
And where all this go?

uriart, and why you think it was the Russian crystal? As far as I know, then he moved to the VIP zone, then a museum, and in general had heard that he was listed for Gohranom.

Sweetheart Seema,!
Have you seen this crystal in VIPzone?
A Russian or European so it's not such a big difference!
The trouble is that it is no more!

Here is heard that he was listed for Gohranom, it's all talk.
For the layman.

uriart, you seriously declare it? This is a responsible statement! This is for the prosecutor's office. Regards Gokhran - it is not for the layman. This means that silver (exactly as it is spetsuchete as "dredge" - crystal in this case, only the application) each year passes reconciliation, "the tube", etc. You know exactly what it (silver) no. MB Gokhran gave - Gokhran took. As it dragged hither and thither, if the theater is closed. Or is it already you in Ukraine? :)

Dear Simon!
All this stuff left the cupboard shelves back in perestroika times.
Do not you see yourself?
I first visited the Great in 1975. And in the summer of that year, several times went to the theater.
Fell in love with Obraztsovu.Tri times listened Troubadour in which she sang Azuchenu.
Then, and drew attention to all the splendor snack shelves. After all, there is the ceiling height is about five meters, perhaps less. And all the shelves were crammed with various densely izdnliyami of silver with crystal.
I'm talking about the buffet which is on the first floor, or rather on the ground.
And when in times of perestroika came back to Big, he was struck by the emptiness of those same shelves.
Then everything everywhere stolen.
I am sure that Grand suffered the same fate.
So the repair is not to blame.
Everything disappeared much earlier.

No, Gokhran is serious.

A Gokhran ever showing his treasure to keep?
I somehow do not recall.

Have you forgotten how Yeltsin gave the first available crooks gold antiquities from Gokhran to 150 million dollars (if you count it as scrap) - all happily vanished in the U.S.?
