Excellent Group to top Soviet General - new world - 06-12-2005
Christophe Wrote:William,
Is it dealing in Soviet awards that is illegal in Russia... or exporting them ? In other words, is dealing allowed until the items traded remain in Russia, as part of the patrimony ?

Ch.
Actually, both are illegal.
Selling/buying is against the law, both parties would be responsible if caught.
Exporting is subject to obtaining permission from customs, which could be problematic if the transaction is outside of the law code.

No offense to you soviet, but I am not here to make you happy, rather to enforce the rules of the forum. He is an adult, I am sure he can live with it; he does not like the rules, complains about them, tries to be cute and dance around them..... then he should go. I stick to my point of view.
And Soviet, I never used the language that you allude to; please try to keep the forum clean, whatever point you are trying to make.

I just noticed that both of these expensive groups (one for $200,000+, other for $300,000) are not listed on dealer's web site anymore.
Were they sold or just simply returned to the owner?

Consignment period ended... Watch for these to a) pop up at another dealer's site or b) pop back up in 6 months at the same dealer's site.
Although it is conceivable :eek: that they were sold.

I am wondering as someone else pointed out a few posts ahead of mine, but would the Russian Government not buy such a group to put it in a museum? The reason I am asking is that a while back, a Victoria Cross group belonging to a Canadian soldier was to be auctionned off. The government stepped in and bought it to keep the group in Canada and in our War museum. Just curious I guess....

Why would the Russian government care about a group like this? To most in modern Russia Communist heroes are not worth remembering...

Hi Danny
I amreasonably certain it was not the Government of Canada that "bought" that VC. If I recall that correctly it was a fundraising effort by that soldier's old regiment and a rather large donation of funds from a private citizen in the Toronto business comunity that allowed the purchase of that VC.
The Canadian War Museum if we count this most recent addition, now has 19 VC's in their inventory. See this link for a list http://www.victoriacross.net/subpublic.asp?public=6
And I might add I am not certain but I think the VC of "Smokey" Smith who died this past summer will also be residing there and that would make 20. He was the last living Canadian holder of the Victoria Cross.

What a shame...
What would Russia be today if it was not the sacrifice of those Red Army heroes?!...
I guess there are big chances the entire Europe would have been under nazi control by now... :mad:
Just my two kopeks...

Ron,
Yes indeed, that's what I remember reading some time ago.
Again, not an effort from the government, but it was done thanks to some private...
I guess these days most governments are spending all their money on oil... (just kidding
