Published 29 January 2018 list of the U.S. Treasury from the report to Congress, nicknamed the "Kremlin report", includes the owners of private museums and others prominent in Russian culture, people

If the list of all who have a collection of art, it will be more than half of the list. Private collections there are many representatives of the highest political leadership (e.g., collection of European paintings from the first Vice-премьера Igor Shuvalov), Cabinet members, governors, envoys, and other shapes. Good paintings hang in the homes of almost everyone. Therefore, a new "sanctions list" will list only those represented in the public field and the affects of cultural process in the country. So here's one of our "cultural oligarchs" and the first persons got in another list:

1. Olga Golodets — Deputy Prime Minister, usually accompanies Putin for an important Museum exhibitions, involved in the discovery of important projects.

2. Vladimir Medinsky —, the Minister of culture.

3. Roman Abramovich — co-owner of a private contemporary art centre "Garage", the owner of a significant collection of works of Russian and world art.

4. Alexey Ananiev — "PromSvyazCapital" founder the private Museum of the Institute of Russian realist art.

5. Petr Aven — "alpha-Групп", a connoisseur of Russian art of the early XX century, owner of a valuable collection, plans to establish a private Museum.

In the list of "Kremlin report" is the husband of Stella Kesaeva (Stella Art Museum) businessman Igor Kesaev, the husband of Sophia Trotsenko (Centre for contemporary art "Winery") Roman Trotsenko and others, funding cultural projects in Russia and abroad.

What is the consequence for defendants in part on the list? It is clear that nothing good. But what exactly — not yet clear. Direct explicit penalties are provided. There are only guesses that the property of those who "got a pencil" will more closely check overseas Finsbury. Primarily under threat are the most vulnerable foreign assets. But this, again, is only free speculation.
