Poland demands Red Army booty
Poland is putting pressure on Moscow to cough up goods its troops confiscated during the Second World War.
Poland is one of eight countries that have presented claims for cultural valuables that were seized from Nazis and subsequently moved to the Soviet Union.
Anatoly Vilkov, deputy chief of the Federal Service for Overseeing the Observance of Law in Mass Communications and Protecting the Cultural Heritage, said: "These claims will be considered by the inter-departmental council for cultural valuables transferred during WWII."
Poland is joined by Austria, the Netherlands and Greece, with the US and Britain also lodging claims for valuables belonging to their citizens who suffered under the Nazi regime. (Interfax)
