Stupidity, hope for random and drunkenness - this is what distinguishes Russian crimes in the field of art:
- to dig up 602 diamonds from icons and hide behind the iconostasis for three days, so that then exhausted from hunger and thirst, and literally fall on the head of the policeman.
- In the midst of broad daylight, go into the Hermitage and cut out the canom from the frame, fold it several times ... and then throw the picture of a prominent policy.
- In front of the public, to take a picture from the frame, leave your fingerprints on the abandoned frame, then hide the picture at the construction site. And be arrested the next morning.
- Break the window of the museum on a drunken stone, drink more, forget to sleep on antique furniture. And to be taken with red -handed - with the only bronze statuette.
In the new book of Sofia Bagdasarova, the author of the bestseller "Democratic art" (the nominee of the Prize “Enlightener-2018”) you will learn how to commit crimes in Russian museums and who are usually criminals. All the thefts described in the book, the scams and acts of vandalism are completely real historical events, and that is why they are especially amazing. They are absurd - and therefore the book is filled with special, absurd humor. After all, otherwise you can’t write about these crimes with the national Russian flavor.
In addition to fascinating criminal-humorous stories, the book includes normal journalistic articles about absolutely wild Russian crimes, as well as insider interviews from representatives of modern art market, who wished to remain anonymous, but revealed amazing details of the shadow antique business
