An exhibition of paintings taken from a German castle by Soviet troops after World War II went on display in Moscow this weekend. “A campaign by mainly Communist members of Russia’s parliament has kept the 364 works in the country, though many Liberals back the idea of returning them to Germany. Returning war booty has long been a sensitive issue in Russia, where memories remain keen of more than 20 million Soviet war dead during a four-year campaign against the Nazis. The Moscow Museum of Architecture has held the 362 drawings and two paintings – which include works by Rubens, Degas, Delacroix and Goya – in safekeeping for 43 years.”
