No?

Cyril Syzransky, well, for me, the word "entertainer" in the context of still carries derogatory. And to the great musician and not afraid of the word - an outstanding personality, Mstislav Rostropovich absolutely unacceptable.
By the way, I'm a pretty cool attitude to that collection, which has gathered his wife. The fact that I have not asotsiiruetsya individual musician (well, at least to the extent that it seems to me that I am about it (the person) I know, read, listened and watched with the imperial splendor. But Galina Vishnevskaya - a special case.

In pre-revolutionary Russia art collection Kozma Terentyevich Soldatenkova considered the richest in Russia. Many paintings are lost, but hope to find any of them ...

In Soldatenkov mansion on Myasnitzkaya you willing to give read historical information about the former owners of the house. During the Great Patriotic War there was the Supreme Commander. In the dining room, decorated with beautiful wood carvings, painted with hunting scenes, were military telegraph. Cabinet of Stalin was behind the dining room in the smoking room, also called "Moorish" for painting in this style, makes a small room like a giant casket.
In the chapel, painted 140 years ago, artist VE Raev, was that Kozma Terent'evich Soldatenkov considered his main wealth - icons, subsequently transferred as a bequest to the Old Believer church in Rogozhskoe cemetery.
The most valuable was the list of the miraculous icon of Our Lady of Tikhvin, dated 1383 year, and the Savior, whose author was considered Rublev.
Grabar said that it is only attributed to the image of the icon painter, who "does not contradict our notions of Rublev. The story of the icon in Soldatenkov meeting legends.

It belonged to or the Savior or Andronnikova Sawa Storozhevsky monastery. During the repair the image changed, and it became the property of some unknown gardener, who allegedly resold and the icon in the 60 years of the last century for a lot of money KT Soldatenkova. Kozma Terent'evich knew about this legend, but never confirmed nor denied ee1. One can assume that the collection of icons Soldatenkova was compiled with the help of his cousin C. T. Bolshakov, hereditary collector of old printed books and church and trader knigami2.
The history of the mansion at the Butcher is closely connected with two collections of paintings. The first of them belonged Terentyevich Kozma, the second - his nephew and sole heir, Vasily Ivanovich, a surviving uncle at 9 let3. KT Soldatenkov began collecting pictures no later than 1853, when he had his first purchase - "Bathsheba" K. Bryullov. Therefore sodatenkovskoe collection can be considered the very first Moscow meeting of Russian painting.
Separate room for the pictures was not. All work (their number before the death of the owner was close to 270) were in the rooms of the mansion. Despite this, the meeting was available. Most visitors to the museum home - many friends and acquaintances owner of the house, friends of friends. It was the audience, connected with Moscow University, Rumyantsev Museum, the Academy of Arts and journalists. Among them were artists, teachers and students of the School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Students came from other Soldatenkova notes - College professors Pavel Chistyakov.
Journalist Prugavin preserved for us some details about this home museum. In prayer led stairway at the site which, for some reason known as "Pompeian" is a sculpture MA Chizhov "Peasant in trouble." It must be remembered schoolboy 40-ies, who visited a children's reading room of the Lenin Library. There she stood a long time before moving to the Tretyakov Gallery. Another sculpture - "Kids" Laveretskogo - was in the dining room. Here above the fireplace was situated reduced silver copy of "Ivan the Terrible" P. Antokolsky. The dining room and lounge, furnished in the style of Louis XV, were the main halls, the museum. In the office of the owner were especially loved them Fedotovsky "Breakfast aristocrat" (now in the Tretyakov Gallery) and "Widow" (in the museum of the city of Ivanovo). In the master bedroom, hung a "Madonna" of the German artist Plakgorsta4. The fate of this picture, we still do not know.
The spacious dining room and lounge, obviously, and there were many large canvases: two Semiradsky - "Dance of the Swords" and the "orgy of Tiberius; historical canvases VI Jacobi -" Clowns at the court of Empress Anna Ioannovna "and" Death of Robespierre " (all things in the TG); "Annunciation" Sorokin - painting, bought Soldatenkova on the recommendation of the artist Alexander Ivanov. In the late 20-ies it was transferred to the trading organizatsiyu5, fate unknown.
In the first floor space among several artworks AA Rizzoni, friend Soldatenkova, was his "Auction in the village of Livonia." This picture in 1926 was transferred to Minsk6, and during the war it took the Nazis. Results from Minsk occupants were removed five paintings from the collection Soldatenkova7. Given the data on museums Dnepropetrovsk, Taganrog, the military losses of the meeting - it is not less than 12 canvases.
Among the countless treasures, which are lost during the war, Kiev, was rare for I. Aivazovsky painting "non-marine maintenance" of Soldatenkov assembly, called "Chumatski convoy in the wilderness. It gave Ukraine in 1925 godu8. In 1929 Ivan Aivazovsky painting for some reason was displayed at the exhibition "Ukrainian art. The fact that she was taken away by the Nazis, captured in Kiev kataloge9.
Unknown current owners of the paintings from the collection of Soldatenkova (in Europe? "In Argentina? In the U.S.?) Is undoubtedly aware of their" Eastern European origin, "but hardly know what to address first of these treasures was a house that has become during the war years the main object of the Soviet secret capital.
Second their address in 1901, became the main museum in Moscow - Rumyantsev. Soldatenkov, done a lot for becoming a museum in Moscow after his move from St. Petersburg, who supported him financially for forty years, he bequeathed his library and collection of paintings and skulptury10. The will be the condition that all the paintings have exhibited in the same room, "Soldatenkov Hall. Obviously, the testator wanted to keep the look of their home museum. But the tightness of the premises Rumyantsev and continuous growth of his collection in the years before the Revolution prevented the full implementation of the will of the owner.
After the revolution started to decrease exposure: it was necessary to free space for pictures from nationalized private collections - the Dukes Leichtenberg (Petrograd), estates, Moscow, Kursk and Orel provinces. Head of the Department of Fine Arts Museum Rumyantsev Nikolai Ilyich Romanov long time could not bring myself to believe in the proximity of the end of the Rumyantsev, hoping to supplement his other collections from the mansion on the Butcher.
Nephew KT Soldatenkova - Vasily Ivanovich Soldatenkov, a prominent St. Petersburg official, who was known among collectors as a connoisseur and collector of ancient Chinese and Japanese items (catalog published in 1918). He collected and Russian artists (scattered information about this in the "Dictionary of Russian Artists" by FI Bulgakov, published in 1880), and the Western European painting. The value of his collection was undeniable, but unlike his uncle Soldatenkov Jr. was not and has not issued a catalog, did not participate in exhibitions, did not care about publications. Little-known collection of the new government got easier than booty. These trophies avoided direct a well-visited Moscow's main museum, they have done in his branch office. Inventory of property and paintings, certified in October 1918 the Rumyantsev museum's former director of the Prince Golitsyn, VD, and the record that the property temporarily to the ferry to the museum is on the Butcher and that the chief curator of Vasily Ivanovich is appointed by the widow Nadezhda G. Soldatenkova11 - were an obstacle to organizers of trade art, but an obstacle to overcome.
A year later, when the Rumyantsev Museum has already moved two piano, French and Spanish furniture XVIII century, it became clear that it is necessary to hasten the release of the mansion from the remaining property - furniture, paintings, books and sculptures. The mansion passed Commissariat for the device in its children's sanatorium. However, supply is not enough, and placement Soldatenkov treasures in the museum in the Old-Vagankovsky Lane was not an easy task. The first half of October 1919 the Rumyantsev museum staff tried compactly arranged in the storerooms of the museum property of the mansion, filled with boxes, made an inventory.
In anticipation of supply facilities to the values decided to seal. But soon the work was interrupted. October 15, writes in an explanatory note by Romanov, to him "I was a group of unknown persons who call themselves representatives of the Communist Youth and demanded explanations from me, by what right do I seal the premises, which are the things they say, hidden from the account" ... Print Muzeyskie they sorvali12, stating that it would take in a museum not a single thing. The wire was delayed for a long time. In the fall of 1920 all were withdrawn, but not in the Rumyantsev Museum, and in his branch office. The only thing that could Romanov, is fixed on the paper part of the collection VI Soldatenkova as the property of the Rumyantsev Museum.
On the fate of the collection is already in no way affected. A branch soon became the sole repository of the Main Museum Fund. The best thing the staff GMF has "perepryatat" in museums Tomsk, Tashkent, Nalchik, Sevastopol, Rostov-on-Don, Perm, Yaroslavl. Two or three pictures were sent to the Tretyakov Gallery. Now there is only "Portrait KT Soldatenkova" work Goravsky. The fate of the few family portraits from this collection have not yet been clarified.
It was established that the portrait of Vasily Ivanovich Soldatenkova of Bogdanov-Belsky (GMF in inventory book he called "Portrait of a man in a gray hat"), fortunately, has survived and is in the collections of the State Historical Museum. This portrait was created in 1898, and like some others, such as the portrait itself Nadezhda G. Guna work, about which there is data in correspondence KT Soldatenkova, is probably the origin of assembly Kozma Minister.
The same applies to the very well known in the past century by numerous lithographs painting Maes The Penitent Magdalene 13. Prugavin wrote that she was in one of the rooms mezonina14. "Magdalene was in the meeting VI Soldatenkova. She was transferred from storage in the trading organizatsiyu15. There also left at least 16 out of 186 pictures. Not less than 8 - in the Pushkin Museum of Fine they are now in the museum is not, therefore, they too went into the trade. 10 paintings have been transferred to the Foreign del16.
Who did they not engaged in the nationalization of the meeting VI Soldatenkova in 1919! This secret police, sealed the room, children's clothes, "which was kept 8 portraits, and supplications, obviously, with the icons. This commission, decorative arts and folk life, make an inventory of household goods, which reads like a catalog of the museum: a collection of old beads, crystal, porcelain, Gardner, a Florentine mosaic, kokoshnik, wrought in gold and embroidered with beads ... Museum Division Glavnauka, through which a huge number of nationalized resources, acknowledged Soldatenkov treasures have "low value of the museum, setting the artistic value of only 220 items, and exceptional value - 5-10 predmetov17.
Soon Rumyantsev Museum was signed by the merciless verdict, and in 1925 members of the Tretyakov Gallery took to their considerable funds and the best part of his paintings. But most Soldatenkov Assembly - testamentary undivided heritage of the Rumyantsev Museum - began its path "in the world" from giant storerooms - Central repository GMF, located in the former manor Zubalovs. Pictures Sodatenkova Jr. at this time "the world" diverged long ago.
Unable to find documentary evidence of the fate of half of the first meeting in Moscow of Russian painting Soldatenkova. It is known whereabouts of nearly 130 paintings (in Moscow, now about 70, including 60 in the Tretyakov Gallery). Three paintings from the collection of works by Western artists - in the Pushkin Museum named after Pushkin. The fate of the others (according to AA Rizzoni, almost all of them purchased Soldatenkova in Rome through A.A.Ivanova18) is unknown.
In the Museum Tropinin and artists of his time "is now reunited two suburban landscape of another Soldatenkova VE Raeva - Medvedkovo and Ostankino, who came to the collection of the Museum at different times and in different ways. The Museum of Tolstoy is "Portrait of Leo Tolstoy and Ge in Yasnaya" Leonid Pasternak. The Armory was the work of masters of church interiors SM Shuhvostova "Cancer St Alexis, Metropolitan of Miracle Monastery.
"Soldatenkov Room" before the war housed in 37 museums in 33 cities. The largest collection of "Soldatenkov pictures" after the Tretyakov Gallery - in Omsk: among the 11 paintings there is the famous "Prayer during the drought" G. Myasoedova, "clerk" Vladimir Makovsky, "Courtyard in Seville," VI Jacobi. 7 paintings - in Stavropol, 6 - in Sevastopol. In the Russian Museum are three masterpieces: a sketch of Alexander Ivanov to the "Appearance of Christ to the people", the picture Vladimir Makovsky "Front magistrate" and "The old pedant, MP Botkin, the released time of the trading stock. In Tomsk - "School of thieves" Meteyssena in Perm - two Bronnikov, among them "The Roman Baths" in Voronezh - "Nun" MP Botkin, in Saratov - "My neighbors' Bakalovicha. Among the "heirs Soldatenkova" - museums of Astrakhan, Saransk, Syktyvkar, Khabarovsk, Yaroslavl, Kozmodemiansk (Republic of Mari-El), Sevastopol and the present "foreign" Ashgabat, Baku, Tashkent.
Not less than 22 paintings were transferred to commercial organizations. During the war, the invaders were taken, besides those mentioned above, the picture Orlovsky - from Kiev, Bashilova, Butkovskii, Reimers - from Minsk, Kalinichenko and Kotarbinskogo - from Dnepropetrovsk, Bogdanov-Belsky and Bronnikov - from Taganrog. But in the lists of paintings, which were simply destroyed during the war, has not yet found any of the meetings Kozma Terentyevich and Vasily Ivanovich Soldatenkova. It is hoped that Soldatenkov picture - alive.

A Goncharova from his website in the booklet of the upcoming Sotheby's auction (4 page), what would it mean?

[Vladimir]

I am encouraged by the process itself - that large collections are in varying degrees, more public. In an information sense. And it will pull an exhibition, the emergence of new collectors (they train each other often look), Issue directories, start research work in their collections. Symptoms of the process, gaining force, is no longer enough: the album "His circle of" Alexander Kronik (with scientific apparatus), forthcoming album with scientific apparatus for gathering Bondarenko, site Tsukanova and so on.
