I had the honor to speak with one serious Russian collector , antiquarian . He is engaged in this favorite work from ancient times . So he told me that in Russia, for the antiquary times were very bad. His main thesis:

- In Russia there is a huge degradation of the whole culture , including - the culture of collecting art. People becoming more primitive, and they are interested in Mercedes cars , boats , real estate , diamonds - but not art .

What, in your opinion, do you assess the antique market in Russia ?

Art objects , most reliable and profitable investment . The fact that this market simply does not exist , or rather, underground , that is, farmed out to criminals , shows the inability of authorities to organize even the most profitable projects . Also, it shows the existence of insolvency in this country of liberal values ​​and the need to strengthen the role of the state.
