Current situation
Currently, real estate of the Russian Federation abroad has the following origin:
- property acquired by Tsarist Russia, the RSFSR and the USSR in the pre-war years;
- property belonging to the Russian Orthodox Church;
- property acquired by the ministries and departments of the former USSR in the post-war years;
- property acquired on the basis of "occupation law" after the Second World War. [four]
In accordance with Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of October 23, 2000 N 1771 "On Measures to Improve the Efficiency of Using Federal Real Estate Located Abroad", only two state departments manage the property of Russia abroad: the Office of the President of the Russian Federation and the Russian Foreign Ministry . All other departments are required to transfer their foreign assets to them. [four]
History
The General Directorate of Soviet Property Abroad was established in 1946-1947 to exercise economic control in East Germany and other countries of Eastern Europe . [5] For example, only in Austria there were 45 "leading" enterprises of GUSIMZ. [6] GUSIMZ also controlled uranium mines which, of course, could not be exported to the USSR. [7] [8] GUSIMZ appointed its general directors to subordinate enterprises, such as in the case of the oil joint-stock company MASOLAY in Hungary. [9]
GUSIMZ was also created to manage the huge trophy property that fell into the possession of the USSR after the Second World War . In fact, GUSIMZ sent an organized export of property from Eastern Europe. For the leadership of the USSR and the highest military command, furniture and the decoration of entire mansions and palaces were taken out. Even the buildings themselves were taken out, previously dismantled into blocks, and then reassembled in government villages near Moscow. Smaller functionaries were content with cars, sculptures and paintings. They were taken out in whole trains. It was through GUSIMZ that "private collections" of some state and party officials were collected after the Second World War. The activities of the GUSIMZ did not go unnoticed in the countries of Eastern Europe and laid the seeds of distrust and hatred of the USSR and its policy. [10]
