Poland insists on the return of the paintings from the Pushkin Museum of Fine

[eva777]

I answer all at once!
In exceeding: start such looting during the war, I mean the cultural values with Napoleon. For that he was a disgrace! Before him, nobody had no idea that one can take away from the country's art.
How, Ghent Altarpiece, for example.
Secondly: Antonov's fundamental point of view, which she has never changed, that does not give up, let them rot, but we have. I respect a principle, but I see no sense in it.
Thirdly: how many artifacts were killed in inept hands, it is better to shut up, I mean, what were taken with a soldier.
  Fourth: As a result of our policy of no return, expect that we will come back as a surprise.
And I am always surprised by this hysteria about restitution!
I wonder where it come from? Our! We will not surrender our gains!
Although, in fact, it was a robbery. And not even ordinary citizens, and museums, which sosttavleny from private collections, why is ours? Museums have been created not during the Nazis, but much earlier, and decent people, for the development of its people, so the value of looted belonged to the people, not the Nazis.
If it took a collection of Goering, Hitler, etc., which really created the method of plunder of the Jews, here and argue it would be strange, but they must also be returned to former owners or their relatives.
The fact is that most muzeeschikov position is the same as that Antonova, and this is nothing surprising in this type of thinking among museum workers.
And the fact that all our museums are expropriated from the collections, what we have forgotten.
