"The phenomenon of Russian Impressionism was unknown before, but now that we are showing it to the world, art history books need to be written anew," Boris Mintz, a Russian investor and founder of the Russian Impressionism Museum, has said at a press conference.
"I am sure that the guests of the exhibition will be touched by the achievements of Russian Impressionism, which does not deserve to be so little known in Europe," Yuliya Petrova, who heads the museum
