Do not help myself - give a little quote from Alexandre Benois:

Actually, "the market" for such things as the ones that especially squandered the Bolsheviks as "The Annunciation" Van Eyck as "The Adoration of the Magi" Botticelli as "Alba Madonna" Raphael or a ten or twenty Rembrandts, in short, these works are of exceptional importance attached to the Hermitage, do not come across. The trouble is that the Bolsheviks did not realize that these pictures are not just some "mediocre-good" or "recognized" and "famous" picture, and it is highest point art that possession of a quite exceptional happiness, so happy, which, obviously, neither they nor Russia as a whole did not deserve.

How many people in the "Russian community" and above had a genuine reverence for these things, many people do find time "to go" in the Hermitage, and going, to make some kind of ritual worship of these and other works of equal value with them? We have to recognize that really a few, and so probably will not ever commit such a ritual, those who were destined to change when all the conditions of life to occupy a position of some cultural leaders of Russia.

To tell by the way, for all the years that I was (quite befit be here the expression "had the honor of") the head of the Hermitage's collections, I'm one of the rulers of Russia's destiny in its walls had not seen - except for the oversight of our police officers to the Soviet comrade Yatmanovym headed, and with the exception of the Lunacharsky, who, however, "ran" in the Hermitage only to utter any another propaganda speech to the "arts professionals" all ranks ...
