I frequently encounter such collisions

"Legal language is" difficult to adequately read even in their native language - the more contributions
In English " legal " language has terms (which correspond to Latin Nescio) - John Doe and Jane Doe - they mean , "unknown" or "unknown " in relation to an unidentified corpses or persons whose identity can not be established in court ( I hope that the forum participants chose a such nicknames - me will not be offended )
Everything else - your reasoning and the notion of journalists
Litigation " conflict " - all of the other

Not exactly - "... are used as placeholder names for a party whose true identity is unknown or must be withheld in a legal action, case, or discussion" - used as a substitute for the real name , for the people , whose true names are unknown or not disclosed in court proceedings ... "(Wikipedia)

Of course you are right.
Thank you.

In Russian, the word " John Doe " ( the name which the name) , which is used not to call a particular name .

convincing evidence base.

Yes,it is. This is only one strange thing: it doesn't get damaged mind that knowing where one picture, sell second and think that it does not come out... Given the status of all and the picture is of the original, including its location. She suggested that the "Museum" will never be displayed, and if there is, then Vasiliev, a collector of paintings, would not be interested exhibitions of paintings Grigorieva? That's strange.

There is a lot of weirdness... But now, at least, the case came in a gray area and can be at least some documents show.

[QUOTE]work was examined in the Grabar Center and is recognized as a forgery.
Vasiliev asked the seller their money back and learned that the sale was Elena Basner: .. it had transferred the money. Vasiliev turned to Elena Wolf, but I heard that she does not doubt the authenticity of the painting and to return the money not namerena@
Here's the strange thing, that is why Basner was soon set?
Well, not filed, would have returned the money without noise, maybe in another time, in another place, lucky...

I think that the feeling of impunity. Vasilyev , I believe, the first who managed to bring this kind of case before the court.

- And when he was done the second restoration?
- And why?
I don't know, but this question has no relation to the case Basner. I don't want to comment on it. These questions should answer the competent authorities.

Boris Grigoriev. "Paris cafe" from the collection of the Russian Museum (cat. No. 56. Version of the song "In the Restaurant" 53,h,3. Cardboard, watercolor, tempera, white, 1913)


Comparison uvelichennij fragments. To the left is a reproduction of Grigoriev in My journal for a few No., right - work from the collection of the Russian Museum

But this is a really interesting question, why was the second restoration. And it may be relevant to the case.
And here's why. Any very good copy, made from the work done in this style, i.e. in the style of the sketch may not be exact, but still, it will be the same colors, in this case, tempera, white which is a little "SAG", i.e. not too bright, as it was on the original to the second restoration. After this "second" they are similar to the original gouache (in appearance even on a photo or gouache, or gouache mixed to tempera) , i.e., too white, which is inharmonious for this work.
But it was the opportunity to make it clear that the copy was not made "at the Museum"... With photo, more options.... etc.
