In addition, there are federal laws dealing with the Museum, Archives and Library Stocks of the Russian Federation, cultural heritage items of the peoples of the Russian Federation, legislation related to cultural goods moved in or out during the Second World War and legislation governing movement of weapons and precious stones and metals. All these enactments are, to a certain extent, applicable to cultural goods brought into and taken out of Russia. INTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONS UNESCO’s Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property of 1970, ratifi ed by the U.S.S.R. on April 28 1988. Russia signed the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects on June 29 1996, but has not ratifi ed it as yet. The website http://www.rsoc.ru/site/law/history/import.shtml includes the most signifi cant legal acts of the Russian Federation on the export and import of cultural goods (in Russian only). Which organ of the executive branch of government regulates and controls the export and import of cultural goods in Russia? Control over the export and import of cultural goods in Russia is exercised by the Federal Regulatory Service for Mass Media, Communications and Protection of Cultural Heritage, or Rossvyazokhrankultura (http://www.rsoc.ru), which is supervised by the Government of the Russian Federation (http://www.government.gov.ru/).

Within the framework of federal legislation, the Government of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Culture and Mass Communications (http://mkmk.ru) pass regulations governing the export and import of cultural goods. Another two agencies, the Federal Culture and Cinematography Agency, or Roskultura (http://www.rosculture.ru), and the Federal Archives Agency, or Rosarkhiv (http://www. rusarchives.ru), both under the control of the Ministry of Culture and Mass Communications, may also be involved in the procedures related to the export and import of cultural goods. The Federal Customs Service, or FTS (http://www.customs.ru), is in charge of customs procedures (customs control of merchandises, including cultural goods, coming into and going out of Russia) and exercises special powers to fight illicit trafficking in cultural goods. The contact details of these organs can be found at the end of this section. Is it necessary to obtain an authorisation to export one´s own cultural goods from Russia? Yes, you will always need an authorisation from Rossvyazokhrankultura or one of its territorial offices to export your cultural good from Russia. The authorisation is formalised in 235
