A Goudstikker van Goyen in Gdańsk: A Case Study of Nazi-Looted Art in Poland
This article traces the provenance and migration of a painting by Jan van Goyen (1595-1656),River Landscape with a Swineherd, from the Jacques Goudstikker Collection and now in Gdańsk Muzeum Narodowe. After the "red-flag sale" of the Goudstikker Collection in July 1940 to German banker Alois Miedl, and then to Hermann Göring, this painting-after its sale on Berlin's Lange Auction in December 1940 to Hitler's agent Almas-Dietrich-was returned to M…
Nazi-Looted Art from East and West in East Prussia: Initial Findings on the Erich Koch Collection
The article contrasts long-suppressed details of German art seizures during the Second World War from Ukrainian state museums and Western Jewish dealers, ordered to Königsberg by Erich Koch, Gauleiter of East Prussia and Reich Commissar of Ukraine. While most of the art from Kyiv was destroyed by retreating Germans when the Red Army arrived (February 1945), here we investigate “survivors.” Initial provenance findings about the collection Koch eva…
Appendix 2: Russian Legal Instruments Relating to Cultural Valuables Displaced as a Result of the Second World War, 1990–2009
The following list is limited narrowly to post-1991 Russian legal instruments relating to cultural valuables of foreign provenance seized and transported to the Soviet Union from Germany and Eastern Europe at the end of the Second World War, or in the immediate postwar period. Widely known in Russia as the “trophy” valuables, officially those cultural objects (art, books, and archives) are usually referred to in Russia more euphemistically as “cu…

Legalizing "Compensation" and the Spoils of War: The Russian Law on Displaced Cultural Valuables and the Manipulation of Historical Memory
This article analyses the historical and political background of the Russian law on cultural property displaced to the Soviet Union at the end of the Second World War (April 1998, with amendments in 2000). Following the 1990-1991 revelations about the extensive cultural treasures captured by Soviet authorities at the end of the Second World War, there was hope abroad for restitution, with a series of bilateral agreements with the countries of ori…
Why Do Captured Archives Go Home? Restitution Achievements under the Russian Law
The return of captured French archives-not art-ignited debate in the Russian Duma in the spring of 1994, leading to the passage of the 1998 Federal Law "On Cultural Valuables Displaced to the USSR as a Result of the Second World War and Located on the Territory of the Russian Federation." Yet, a decade since the law was signed, there have been five cases of captured archives from the Second World War returned to Western European countries, as exp…

Roads to Ratibor: Library and Archival Plunder by the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg

Twice Plundered or "Twice Saved"? Identifying Russia's "Trophy" Archives and the Loot of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt
A dramatic element in Russia's current international relations centers on the restitution of archives that the Nazis plundered throughout Europe during World War II and that fell into Soviet hands at the end of the war.

During the war the Reich Security Main Office and other German agencies assigned various parts of collections to a number of offices in Berlin and elsewhe…
Trophy” Archives and Non-Restitution: Russia’s Cultural “Cold War” with the European Community
The Russian Communist Party and other nationalist parliamentary factions are using the restitution of European archives as a major political issue to oppose the Yeltsin administration at every turn. Archives deserve to be liberated from the status of “trophies of war,” even if they may have once served military, political, or propaganda purposes
Displaced Archives and Restitution Problems on the Eastern Front in the Aftermath of the Second World War
At the height of the Second World War, in November 1942, the Embassy of the USSR in Washington DC issued an Information Bulletin condemning the Nazi cultural atrocities and looting that were taking place on the Eastern Front. In conclusion, it reminded the world
Increasing Reference Access to Post-1991 Russian Archives
If only archival restrictions were the most glaring insufficiency of our archival service. Here we have a whole complex of problems, for which it is insufficient to decide from on high merely to declassify archives. We still need to fell the whole world exactly what is held in them, to publish inventories and catalogues of previously secret documents.Academician Dimitrii S.

A New Soviet Directory of Archives and Manuscript Repositories: A Major Contribution in Light of Recent Reference Aids
A directory of all archives and manuscript repositories in the USSR with a comprehensive bibliography of finding aids has long been needed by researchers. Yet one of the most highly centralized, state-run archival systems in the world, with its subsidiary strong publication division under the world's first specialized research institute for archival affairs, has still not seen fit to provide researchers with such a basic reference aid.
