Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] In France, the original decree of Peter II, which disappeared from the Russian State Military Historical Archive (RGVIA), was sold at auction. The information was published on October 31 by the French auction house Aguttes. The description of the lot on the auction house's website notes that the decree is very rare, since its author is the grandson of Emperor Peter the Great, Peter II, who did not rule for long, since he died early, at the age of 14. The starting price for the document was €1–2 thousand; following the auction, the document was sold for €3,120 (approximately 330 thousand rubles). As reported by the Izvestia publication, Vasilisa Denisova, deputy director of the Russian State Military Historical Archive, noted that the document on the "Decree of Emperor Peter II to the Military Collegium on the removal of Famentsyn from the post of commandant of St. Petersburg and the appointment of Prince G. A. Urusov in his place. September 9, 1727" turned out to be a dummy. It is not yet known when the document was replaced. An investigation into the theft of the original is currently underway. Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that the first Russian auction of contemporary art VLADEY announced the sale of one of the famous works by the leader of the rock band Kino, Viktor Tsoi. The unusual painting was sold for a record amount of 76,900 euros. Posted by: badanov 2024-11-02 |
