Talk:Russian cultural heritage register

Gatchina
however, in December 2008 Pavlovsk and Gatchina palaces, part of a World Heritage Site, became municipal property of the city of Saint Petersburg.

A clarification is in order here, as Gatchina (unlike Pavlovsk) actually belongs to Leningrad Oblast rather than Saint Petersburg. I find it interesting and rather hard to believe that anything located there could become municipal property of Saint Petersburg. Colchicum (talk) 08:57, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Here is something on this. Curious. Colchicum (talk) 09:01, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Let's wait a few weeks fore more info, the news are still fresh and I'm not going to release the text to mainspace soon. I suspect it's again all about money: Matvienko still has some cash while the oblast is bankrupt so they're out of the race. NVO (talk) 14:40, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
