Your information is not correct. In Russia actually is located the large number of artworks and cultural values which were displaced from Germany after WW2. Russian government never denied, that these values belong to German people and must be returned into Germany. However, this is difficult task. Difficulty is connected with the fact that the artworks and cultural values in Russia were stolen by private persons. At present these values are located beyond the territory of Germany in the particular collections. The large part of these values is located in the USA.

Germany declares, that all values stolen by Germans in Russia are returned. However, this is only a small part of the values. Germans as private persons sold major portion of the values to the citizens of other countries. This time In Russia is prepared 20 vol. catalog of the artworks and cultural values those stolen in Russia by German citizens. All these things are well known for experts. Russia proposes to exchange German cultural values for the Russian cultural values. This necessarily so that at least small part of artworks stolen by Germans during WW2 again would prove to be in Russia.

You will agree that to return the cultural values of Germany without having received anything instead is sufficiently foolish.
