All the paintings that he bought on the cheap from the group, Stalin, Mikoyan, he gives the city of Washington. His act, he goes from criminal liability. Moreover, still looks philanthropist and founder of the Washington National galerei.Esli my memory serves me it was in the 20's.
Korotich with Ogonyok wrote in the late 80's and later published a book "Sold Treasures of Russia"

A Mallon came to the Hermitage and the finger pointed to the work that he wants to buy. To him they were removed and sold.
