several. times everything. i'm trying to trips to. the recent past things here one of life's great supply to me here. about working in russia i think. it's a wonderful. may sue me clients said frank said just a little and i think you're going to be the one i love my god i'm. wrong in this wow because. i buy that yet i'm taking it out that there might. be a sense of styles what they do they know what they want and. they go off trail and we will work very well together. to love russian. everybody and we love the russian . they are good have i met them that. night the idea

that anybody. with more moved russians actually moving to the u.k. ever you know went to the calling the cell phones and grads and in fact many experts say that russians about that this is the crux the bruising the british i mean. some might be afraid the relationship is such emerging markets others to. cherish in the new opportunities include trucks they bring. russian playwrights and i can schools have been very popular around the world for decades and the british capital is no exception various russian pays off in performed on the stage by both russian. companies. whenever there is a play on. usually trickles there is. almost immediately when the national trust theatre does it or any private company or even a small fridge companies it's a put on

a russian play. it's. so certain terms of service there is refuted about four of recently the shelf is has sort of performance staged by the prominent russian director so you are specially titled the marriage the play is a comedy by the outstanding writer nikolai gogol britain almost two centuries ago. reduction remains popular still today performed by thieves come from moscow if it was called to the states a festival called russian classics of the mexico theater in great britain. one of the oldest most famous opera system five houses chrissy's which was founded in london in the seventeenth sixty's holds a russian cell week twice a year for the ocean itself chrissy's organizes. to give collectors a better chance to examine to learn more about the art pieces on offer to dish and they've always been to. say tradition in london it's always been and. i just

happens to coincide with christmas. but i think that it is more. to say now is thing very serious election night she'd take time to do. and we need to make a decision about what they want and they collect a pretty party for the sound system event the b.b.c. get a. living aboard including artists and descendants from autistic families as well as collectors of the latest ocean they gathered at christie's to door more than three hundred lots of russian fine art including paintings imperial porcelain jewelry and furniture which were sold for almost fifty million pounds twenty four million dollars in total but actually we're quite a. bit option that we still are in the eighteenth century right up to the present day so for example in this auction we have nineteenth century rights twentieth century right up space contemporary. one of my favorite western says actually this levittown which you could buy the horses which is

a fantastic probably eighteen ninety's through a private collection here and it's really really special saying it chrissie let's meet this week's guest. thank you very much for your time but tell me about your position here at chris's position the. the international head of the russian department kristi's. started to work at christie's twenty five years ago in the russian department became the head of the department in london in ninety one and i believe it became the international head i mean sort of the five seven years ago and it seems that russian art has exploded here in london arris in new york recently well i think it's the great paradox about russian audience has always been present in the old market. yes you have kind of a boom in the field which started five six years ago but you need to keep in mind

that you it's very strange in a very strange way to second boom you already had the boom in the late eighty's around one thousand eight hundred nine at the time of the perestroika of people who could great interest in russian and. and we got in the ninety's especially well i presume there were many restrictions about why you could take in and out of russia or the u.s. is ours it was that well i mean you're putting your finger on something rather interesting that at christie's or thing even in a certain way even with or all the auction houses we sourcing if i can put it this way russian of arts around europe around the states that in fact not in russia. and people buy russian or in europe and in a certain way bring it back to russia but we're not sourcing this.

in russia which explains why us specialists are pretty busy in the russian field sort of traveling around europe or the states and when you're traveling who is by was not the main by is always the russian but to say that it's only russian to buy a russian or to be totally wrong you still have sort of strong buyers who are not russian who are interested by russian all it's far more difficult for them to. to be. put it this way during the auction but very much present i mean you have to keep in mind that the. ninety's the. russian buyers what are we talking about. everything you when you're talking about. the nineteenth century early twentieth century. one thousand century early twentieth century. we used to say

can we stop to say. that. everything. to the particular nightspots so. ten years from. when the sun. has never seemed so popular. every day. to the british. is a great place. just. we have here. is one of you

actually used to great revolution has dozens of different flavors of the great. tasty menu. drinks makes me shake in fiction. absolutely delicious. from taking i mean these papers to making major moves within the fashion art scenes it appears the russians are now fixing everyone's lives in the u.k. while some are skeptical of these new foreign businessmen and women under the brace the collaboration and opportunity it brings seems russians and the amazing culture they are in london to stay. not just here russia is now closer to many european cities that you think. on our next moscow our special series we should be visiting
