Why do make such a rating? Indeed, in many cases, but today - just in the majority, not estimated the level of the collector, his erudition, intellect, passion for the subject, the ability to see and discover new, but simply the size of the state. I think if you compare, say, a collection of the late S. Ya, Feldstein (he was seventy years of collecting only the schedule of Russian artists, and a unique collection) or a striking collection of collections Chekrygin Grigorishin with millions of so-called collection Abramovich, the first two, as collectors in any ranking should be higher. Today in the preparation of any rating collector Abramovich automatically takes a leading place, and people like Feldstein, Sanovich, Dudakov, Levitin, Kronik in the best case will be mentioned at the very end.
