Cyril Syzransky, our history is, of course, abounds .... But I always thought that a tractor, and then at the same factories and tanks for all of us are not prevented. Or someone will evidence that the Bolsheviks squandered money for the paintings?
Be as objective, gentlemen!

Of course, squandered.
You know how to spend money abroad commissioners sent there?

But it is not important.

Amount received for all works of art, is insignificant in scale, Soviet foreign trade.

Taking into account that paid for them are quite funny, below market prices.

Even now, when sky-high prices at the pictures, these pictures are unlikely to cost more than $ 2 billion.

And it is in comparison with the export of oil, gas and so forth.?
