metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article publishes a document from the Archives of the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg
  (fund 1, dossier 17, unit 6/9, pp. 1–6), a memorandum presenting arguments to transfer to
  the Hermitage the famous collection of Egyptian antiquities, which was gathered by Vladimir
  Golenischeff and placed upon its purchase by the state in 1909 at the Museum of Fine Arts
  in Moscow. The handwriting in the manuscript makes it possible to identify the compiler of
  the document as Vasily Struve (1889–1965), a prominent researcher of the ancient Orient in
  the early Soviet period and the keeper of the Hermitage Egyptian collection since the mid-
  1910s. A comparison with a document from the archives of the A. S. Pushkin Museum of Fine
  Arts, which mentions and quotes the memorandum, allows dating it to the middle of 1923.
  The context of Struve’s initiative was the mobility of academic and cultural institutions in
  the post-revolutionary years and, probably, more specifically, the attempts to reorganize the
  collections of Egyptian antiquities in Moscow (to centralize them in the so-called Museum-
  Institute of the Classical Orient launched by Vladimir Vikentiev). As expected, this initiative
  was met with harsh objections from the Museum of Fine Arts, most likely backed by Tatiana
  Borozdina-Kozmina who was Boris Turaev’s successor as the keeper of the museum’s Egyptian
  collection. In the end, this initiative was never implemented. The episode reflected in this
  document is an interesting illustration of the degree of mobility even in the life of the leading
  and best-established museum collections in post-revolutionary Russia.
