idea of any. more move russians actually moving to the u.k. ever you know went to calling the campus of london grads and of fact many experts say that russians about that this is the crux the bruising british economy. some might be afraid of the relationship is such emerging markets others to. cherish in a new opportunities include trucks they drink. russian playwrights and i can schools have been very popular around the world for decades and the british capital is no exception very strict and pays off in performance on the stage used by both russian and british companies. whenever there is a play on. usually trickles there is no doubt almost immediately when the national trust theatre does it or any private company or even. smaller french companies if they put on

a russian play. it's. so certain terms of service there is refuted about four of their recently show fees has sort of performance staged by the print director so you are special titled the marriage the play is a comedy by the outstanding writer nikolai gogol but no mystery 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 america in great britain. one of the oldest most famous opera system five houses christy's which is founded in london in the seventeenth sixty's and sell 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. i just happened to coincide with christmas. but i think that it is more. to say now

is thing very serious. that she take time to do things 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 through a 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. quite a. bit option and 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 that she this levittown by the forces which is a fantastic probably eighteen ninety's from

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. thirty two worked at christies twenty five years ago in the russian department i became the head of the department in london in one thousand 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 nine hundred nine at the time of the perestroika people who could great interest in russia and and we got in the ninety's especially well i presume there were many restrictions about was 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 that was interesting that. at christie's or thing even in a certain way even with over all the auction houses we sourcing if i can put it this way russian ots around europe around the states that in fact can 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 travelling around europe or the states and when you're traveling who is by person not the main by is always al dowd the russian but to say that it's only russian to buy a russian of it would 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. treated this way during the auction but very much present i mean you have to keep in mind that for the meet up to the ninety's the. russian bods what are we talking about. everything you when you're talking about. the nineteenth century it can be twenty century. one thousand century early twentieth century. we used to
