In March, I traveled to St Petersburg for an exclusive sit-down interview with the legendary director of the Hermitage Museum; the first granted to a western journalist in several years.
John, you had a remarkable opportunity to interview a man of great import, experience, and knowledge. Dr Piotrovsky's vocation is to preserve and educate. His dedication to this task of preserving culture(s) via their artworks through the ages is noble, and vitally important.
Dr. Piotrovsky honors and builds up. People across the globe learn, and learn to appreciate history and beauty.
I am enlightened and encouraged after reading your interview. I thank you! Art History is so very important, for truth is shared through a citizen's eyes and talented hands.
I wish that Dr. Piotrovsky,'s and Geraldine Norman's book had been published in English. I would love to read it. Perhaps someone will translate and publish it. Meanwhile. my quest is to learn more about the Hermitage. I have one of the doctor's books reserved at our local public library, and I will seek out more books that showcase the museum's collection.

Corinne, thank you for the very nice comment and sharing that with us.
Absolutely so. A sovereign nation that the West has been salivating to divide to many pieces and rule.
. . I am calmly happy that the Russian Nation loves and holds that thought of itself, in existence
How lovely,
