at all, it's absurd, p.ch. no abstract "cultural values", and there are cultural values ​​of RF. By definition, your book is not one of them. Especially, until she passed customs. IMHO, this is just a commodity, which is de jure subject to customs duties.
Another thing is that you just had to send it to any Western address, and then get out without any customs duties, as "just a book"

It may not relate to culture first book, a native of Russia, describing the events in the country after the Bolsheviks came to power, which is still alive has become a classic of world level and early editions of which even without the inscriptions of the world's leading auction houses are estimated in the tens of thousands of dollars?


Absurd is the fact that a representative of the Ministry of Culture in Vnukovo a doubt that this book is a cultural value. And the same is absurd practice itself create any obstacles to the importation of KC. The result of this stupid policy is that all of the major auction of Russian art are everywhere, but not in Russia, making Russia's auctions are not developed to the extent to what might, and the budget is ultimately doschityvaetsya huge sums. The import of any item older than 50 years should be duty-free, his registration for import must be voluntary to be able to easily take the subject further, if it so ever arise. For now, the law in force responsible officials should be immediately dismissed without severance pay with in the workbook "For extraordinary stupidity and incompetence."
