  • "The State Hermitage Museum is a custodian of one of the richest art collections. The museum and its masterpieces are the national pride of Russia. We are glad to be involved in the preservation of the world cultural heritage for our contemporaries and for the future generations. Over the years of our cooperation, the Hermitage hosted significant exhibitions of the world renowned artists with the participation of the Rosseti Group. I am sure that our successful collaboration in this filed will continue, and museum visitors will see many more interesting projects of the kind."

  • "I want my daughters, the children of my employees, and their children after them to discover the Hermitage in the same way as I did in my time. Therefore, as the president of the company, I consider the support of museum activities to the best of our knowledge, competencies, technologies and capabilities to be one of the basic goals that a progressive Russian company should set itself."

  • "The State Hermitage Museum is much more than a great collection exhibited in illustrious spaces rich with history. It is a world class scientific and educational center allowing us to understand and appreciate the past, and reflect and preserve the spirit of today. By supporting the Hermitage, you provide access to the greatest works of art from different times and places to the future generations."

  • "I am proud that for almost twenty years now Baker & McKenzie has been an official legal consultant to the State Hermitage and a member of its Friends Club. For me, this is a very personal project. The Hermitage is not just a museum, in whose halls I, like every St. Petersburg child, learned to love and understand art. The Hermitage is not just Russia’s most significant museum complex, of which every resident of our city is proud. The Hermitage, in my understanding, is a center of world culture, in which the spirit of international understanding and cooperation reigns.
    This approach is dear to me and to my company. Baker & McKenzie is a global company that has been working in St. Petersburg for many years and is actively involved in the public life of the city. I believe that the support of socially significant projects is the duty of every successful business, and participation in the Hermitage’s projects is our great privilege."
