I want to say that over time the political content (context) will be forgotten,

Yes, already forgotten, I think.
It's only art historians remember someone shouting at the head of state: "What are you - men or fag damn how can you write ?". (c)

The names of the Unknown, Belutin, Groman familiar not only to art historians. And with that phrase Khrushchev you more careful ... Sometimes it is she wants to comment on some reports by some participants.

in a similar auction last year brought $ 36.1 million, however, the directory was thicker, but the crisis has not smelled.

This auction was obviously very successful. The difference in results compared to last year associated with fewer lots and they are much poorer quality than a year ago. Well, look it up yourself, there are no top-end work (alas, another marina Ayvazian not bring myself to call a top-end despite the result), but is average 5.10 pieces. So what can be expected then? and then, the total result is beyond expectations!
