Nadezhda Belyaeva, Director of the Perm State Art Gallery:
- The court - nonsense! It's a different time and society itself must assess. And there was enough public courts. I think now the process would adversely affect the reputation of Russia in the West. This is something Pinochet. Even in Soviet times there was no public trials of skill. Planting - planted, but has never been so publicly. Trial of art - I do not recall such.
Today I thought a lot and came to the conclusion that we often blame the rulers of that actually make the rank and file officers, trying to please the leadership. I believe that this process was triggered by just ordinary officials.
