Abstract (en)
Discusses the reasons and methods for the seizure of thousands of art objects from Nazi Germany by Soviet troops after the end of World War II, and their location in secret depositories. Describes the return of some of these works to East German museums in the late 1950s. Notes that the changed political climate in the Soviet Union in the last few years has prompted thoughts of opening these depositories, which has led to debate among Soviet officials on the controversial question of repatriation and the unknown fate of art plundered from the Soviet Union by the Nazis during the war.
