СЕНСАЦИЯ: ГОСДЕП США ЗАДЕРЖАЛ РУССКИЕ ИКОНЫ В АМЕРИКЕ!!!
Поздним вечером 21 марта 2011 г. стало известно, что Госдеп США после многочасовых переговоров с юристами Посольства и представителями консульства России в США и Гордоном Лэнктоном (Gordon Lankton), владельцем частного музея (Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton, Mass), куда при скандальных обстоятельствах вокруг «библиотеки Шнеерсона» было вывезено 37 редчайших икон Музея имени Андрея Рублева, принял решение (со слов американского бизнесмена - см. ниже), из которого следует, что распоряжение министра культуры РФ Александра Авдеева о немедленном возвращении коллекции на Родину НЕ МОЖЕТ БЫТЬ ПРИНЯТО К ИСПОЛНЕНИЮ в Америке!!!!! Владелец частного американского музея Лэнктон, по сути говоря, в ответ на правомерное требование российской стороны заявил, что он не может оставить американскую публику с «пустым окном» после форс-мажорного демонтажа выставки ценнейших икон Музея имени Андрея Рублева. Что касается куратора выставки из нашего музея, то она должна будет вернуться в Россию не солоно хлебавши - БЕЗ ИКОН - лишь с некоей очередной договоренностью, спущенной из Госдепа…

Lankton, CEO Kent Russell and representatives from the Russian Federation Embassy in Washington D.C. and Consulate in N.Y.C, an unnamed representative from the U.S. State Department is “of the opinion” the criteria for executing the Minister of Culture’s “force majeure” has not been sufficiently met. He also claimed the icons from the Andrey Rublev are immune from seizure in the U.S.A.

The Museum of Russian Icons permanent collection of 450+ icons is NOT affected by the order. Andrey Rublev Museum сurator, who had come to Clinton to supervise the dismantling of the exhibition, will return to Russia - without the icons in tow - as soon as arrangements can be made.
