Collecting material about the artists of historical and battle-genre in the archive, the photographs of works IS Petrova, stumbled upon a mark «
bought the USSR State Fund ».
Tell me, please, what would it mean?
Judging by some links,
State Fund of the USSR had a huge collection.

I wonder how it was disposed after the "perestroika".
Have someone meet the work from this collection? Or they decrepit in wet storage facilities as well as numerous exhibits trophy-restorative art?
