Here's how all of them is haunted by the collection Gokhran?
I remember back in the late 80's, early 90's, some businessmen from Israel, drktor Nudelman reached the Gokhran. Then Moscow journalists raised a fuss in the press and his attempt does not crowned.
Now, new appeared. Again, look for exhibits no historical value!
Yes, leave you alone public assembly treasury for next to nothing the Soviets of Deputies to the people! If readers recall, and growing collection of Gokhran, due skupochnyh points throughout the USSR. Of course, first entered the Gokhran all, that the Bolsheviks had stolen from the Romanovs and the Russian from the richest families.
And left only what did not manage to sell at auctions in Europe through its office "Antiques" in the 20-ies.
And the new bagateyam not ymetsya! Again trying to run his hand into the bin.
Must not remain silent on this point!
Sell items from private collections, their hands still plenty left!
