Stalin. Operation Hermitage
9.99 €
Is it true that the Bolsheviks looted and sold off the treasures of Tsarist Russia? Did they auction off priceless paintings by Botticelli, van Dyck, Rembrandt and Raphael, as well as tens of thousands of other museum pieces, historical artifacts and antiques? How much cultural property was actually sold abroad in the 1920s and 1930s? For the sake of what did the Soviet authorities make such sacrifices? Did it have the right to do so? How much money was gained as a result and what was it spent on? In this book, Doctor of Historical Sciences Yuri Zhukov impartially analyzes the largest transaction of the XX century, associated with the sale of art objects, aptly calling it "Operation Hermitage". With the help of numerous data and documents, some of which are published here for the first time, the author draws very ambiguous conclusions.
