even said we should not and O. Nikityuk trouble with the question.

But this is wrong! Today, a detailed talk with the owner of the bust. It is quite secretive and does not like to speak on these topics. However, I have everything - yet it was able to clarify some points that you seem controversial. She showed me some old black and - white photos, some of which can be seen the bust, including a photo, where she was still a little girl stands beside a bust when he was still a large marble top stand, where denotes the name Antokol's'kogo. I already wrote that she was a doctor and a fairly well-known, while publishing his work, as under the name Golitsyn, and Cherkasova. Nikityuk came to her house and saw the bust (without stand), immediately announced that it Antokolsky. At that time Nikityuk ill daughter and purpose of the visit was linked including this. Later, the owner of the bust, as a doctor, helped and most Nikityuk, which possovetovala, go to the Tretyakov Gallery, to Krasnikova. Krasnikov, too, came to her home and looked at the bust. Then suddenly, my friend suggested, donate a bust of the Tretyakov Gallery, than of course, greatly surprised her! She asked, so you agree that this Antokolsky? Krasnikov said that just so she could not say what my acquaintance, asked a reasonable question, but why did you want me to bust gave the Tretyakov Gallery? Have you lost your little sculpture? Krasnikova not answer, but has issued a receipt, which you've already seen. A little later, a friend of mine asked a friend, who introduced an FSB colonel and offered to buy the bust, predvfritelno, having expertise in the Tretyakov Gallery. Bring, we will arrange everything, I say agreed to the examination, and then you pick it and we, make a purchase - sale. My friend went to the Tretyakov Gallery, but the bust, about which you wrote, she had not seen, said he was supposedly in store. In my opinion, this is very strange! It suggested, come, pay the money and take your bust, but he told her he was ready to buy a bust, but only after passing the necessary procedures in the Tretyakov Gallery. All this interest, she did not like, and seemed strange, and she refused, despite the fact that it offered just the amount that she called Nikityuk, namely, 300 thousand cu. Here's a story! Believe it or not, bust it still will sell sooner or later, but he will be decorating someone else a collection, once you are more worried about my mistake with n and go. As regards the relationship with the Romanovs, you're wrong, delve into history, there you will find out that members of the house, sometimes on the Russian princess married! As for the grandfather of my friend, he was general-aide suite is Alexander III, which as you say he belonged to a bust, in the Tretyakov Gallery's storerooms. Maybe this confuses you a collector? He thought that the bust was alone? I do not see the problems for which are not only related, but also as a confidant of the Emperor, he could not give or recommend to him, bust Antokolsky, the same as the one that gave his family Augustine. After leaving Russia, Augustus (Augustin Petrovich Golitsyn) left bust in Russia, it was after the death of one of his descendants, my acquaintance wanted by the law firm, as an heiress. Were the Soviet era, they were frightened and refused. Personally, I think it was a mistake. How could Augustine know Antokol's'kogo personally, while he arranged exhibitions in Paris, where the prince resided permanently? I am not even clear on this subject. And in Rome, Golitsyn were frequent guests.
