  • “… I have been widely investing in the arts and various cultural projects for the last twenty-five years. I arrange and hold art exhibitions in Russia and abroad. This activity made it possible for me to fulfill myself to a greater extent. Communication with artists, examination of archival documents and professional literature, handling the works by the Great Masters and wide experience in arranging exhibitions throughout Russia for many years—all this has made me an expert in this field. In the Exhibition section you may find interesting information about the exhibitions held by me…”
