In May we are celebrating one of the major Russian holidays, Victory Day. For those who are interested in the military history, we have prepared several articles on the topic including the ones dedicated to a new exhibition of arms and armour, which has been opened in the Artillery Museum, to collectible tin soldiers and war-games, and to little-known facts about the famous Russian military leader A.V. Suvorov.
The International Moscow Antique Fair was closed in the mid April setting new questions and aggravating a number of current problems of the antiques market in Russia, which demonstrates steady development. The future development of the situation in this field will be monitored by our magazine.
