The state will not transfer the ownership of the church museum objects and collections that make up the Museum Fund of Russia, as well as documents from the archives of the National Fund of Russia and the library collection. The relevant prohibition is registered in the final version of the bill on the transfer of church property for religious purposes, nationalized after 1917. The document was available to Kommersant.

At the same time in the previous version of the bill present a list of objects (eg, a UNESCO world heritage), which are forbidden to pass the church, but from the last version of it removed, said the director of the Historical Museum Alexander Shkurko. "After the adoption of the law authority may, for example, to convey the ROC St. Basil's Cathedral", - said the head Gima in an interview. "We should not represent the ROC monster who wants all his pick. Perhaps, the church and would not take all" - said in response to the head of the press service head Vladimir Vigilyansky ROC.

We note that in March the Moscow Novodevichy Monastery Church gave no property, and in perpetuity without compensation, "as he is listed in the UNESCO cultural heritage.

Previously, it was announced that a bill on the transfer of property to religious organizations for religious purposes under state or municipal property "disappeared ban on the" change of destination of returned property and transfer it to third parties within ten years, which insisted Ministry of Economic Development.

It is possible that the lower house of parliament may consider the document in the first reading before the end of the spring session.

ROC stated claim to the property transferred to the State under the Soviet regime, the Council of Bishops, 2000. Some items were transferred Church on an individual basis (eg, Krutitsy), but in January 2009, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on the need to quickly move the process of the legal framework, in particular - to accelerate the development of the law (he started preparing back in 2007) .

The protests were fueled by scandal over the icon of Our Lady Toropetzkaya XII-XIV centuries, which in late 2009 at the request of Patriarch Cyril at the time transferred from the vaults of the Russian Museum in church at elite cottage poselke. /lenta.ru
