Given that I served in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), I was often near him at the district headquarters. You know him from the arch of the General Staff (he was often in films), so I visited the Hermitage quite often. As a soldier, he had benefits, free admission. I remember a few moments. They brought an exhibition of paintings from the Metropolitan Museum (New York), the queue was gigantic, they let me out of the queue (poor soldier, but you are interested in painting! ). Naturally, I would not be able to see these masterpieces in a different way. At the same time I looked at the gold of the Scythians and Greeks from the "Golden Pantry" of the Hermitage. Then I saw an exhibition of Roerich with his wonderful colors on canvases, I happened to enjoy Rembrandt's masterpieces, which were brought to the Hermitage from Europe. And even now, when I visit the Hermitage, I find time to wander around this imperial palace, which is rare in the world.
