Loudly beginning in 2015, the trial ended with a conditional sentence

in the Fall of 2015, we will remind, after the exhibition of the artist "favorites" in the Ulyanovsk Museum "the Lenin memorial", Safronov were missing 13 paintings, the theft of which he accused the Director of the ice Palace in Ulyanovsk "Volga-Спорт-Арена" Eduard Shabalin. Missing work, the artist is then estimated as many as 22 million rubles.

However, according to the investigation, which results on the pages of the newspaper "Kommersant", 9 of 13 reported missing work was discovered by investigators immediately "in one of the non-residential premises owned by the defendant in a criminal case".

In the end, it was about the four missing papers: "cat-retired", "Lightness of being, or the Naked truth", "father's Portrait in Italian costume of the Doge" and "Freedom, or Bird living in a cage", which he estimated at 9 million rubles.

In the course of this litigation among those abducted were excluded one painting, and the cost of the remaining three, which, according to the conclusion of further examination, "color print on canvas with the study scenic resources of the upper layer image", dropped to a much more realistic (according to our data) price of 274 thousand.

And in January 2020-го the court recognized the fact of theft, but not especially large, and in a large size and Eduard Shabalin was sentenced to two and a half years of imprisonment conditionally. The compensation of the artist, the court refused.

According to the press-секретаря painter, Safronov sure, "that was stolen not three, but 13 paintings" and "a thief should sit in jail" but he will not take any-либо of action on this issue.
