Once again, Germany turned to the Russian Federation and asked to return all cultural values that were removed from its territory at the end of the Second World War. Mikhail Shvydkoi, the special representative of the Russian president, believes that such issues should not be raised until political relations between the countries change for the better.
In Berlin, in turn, they noted that they would agree to return in return the items of cultural Russian heritage that Germany currently owns. This European country plans to regain the Trojan collection of Heinrich Schliemann, which the Hermitage and the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts decided to share among themselves. Among the objects of cultural heritage exported from Germany, and now in Russia, include a huge number of items and jewelry made in the 9th century BC from gold, as well as the Eberswald treasure.
The German federal government, after several refusals, continues to seek the return of cultural property that has left the country illegally. Berlin wants Russia to agree to such negotiations and send a responsible government representative to them. The German government believes that cultural values should be stored in the country where they were made, and part of the history of which they are. Such items cannot be used as payment for losses caused by hostilities.
German government officials refer to the 1907 Hague Rules. They also recall that not so long ago, or rather last 2017, a considerable number of valuable paintings were returned to Russia. These works of art were removed from the Gatchina Palace by the German military in 1944.
Mikhail Shvydkoi considered the negotiation pointless. They should be conducted in a normal political environment, and not when there can be no trusting relationship between the negotiators, and besides, Russia is in a sanctions regime.
It is worth noting that there are other applicants for some of the art objects that the German government wants to return to their country. This was told in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. Shvydkoi also recalled the law that came into force in 1998, according to which all objects of art moved during the Second World War and after its termination are the property of the Russian Federation, they cannot simply be transferred to other countries at will and request.

In 1990, making concessions to the United States, the USSR gave them a huge territory rich in commercial fish and deposits of natural resources. This happened after the signing of the Agreement on June 1, which defined the maritime boundaries between states, giving the United States a much greater territorial advantage. The agreement signed by Shevardnadze and Baker has not yet been ratified by the Russian side, which believes that the procedure was carried out in violation of not only Russian, but also international legislation
Why did the Germans take away the inhabitants of the USSR to Germany, and What happened to the stolen citizens of the USSR after the war
At the beginning of 1942, the German leadership set itself the goal of taking out (or it would be more correct to say "hijack", take away by force) 15 million inhabitants of the USSR - future slaves. For the Nazis, this was a forced measure, to which they agreed gritting their teeth, because the presence of citizens of the USSR would have a corrupting ideological influence on the local population. The Germans were forced to look for cheap labor, as their blitzkrieg failed, the economy, as well as ideological dogmas, began to burst at the seams
