Russian Manor houses restoration and preservation
jacqueline:
Let me make sure I understand this proposal... This fund wants naive Americans to donate money for the restoration of manors that were stolen? Maybe if the properties were given back to the families who own them, then they could get restored!

Jacqueline,
I'm looking eyes to eyes with you (restitution ndlr)but what concerns this fund of Mrs Roosevelt they vould not be presented as naive,they are are a non profit association who only aims at promoting russian culture by restoration of russian architecture smasterpieces taht often fall in ruins in view of the lack of state funds...
We could thanks them among others for the restoration of Arkhangelskoye(prince's Youssoupov palace) and Isnaia Poliana(Tolstoi's field)...I hope however that some russian association folow into Rosevel's foots steps...
