Spy vs Spy, tipa

According to Polit.ru (in Russian) the director of the Tretyakov Gallery, Valentin Rodionov, has opened a lawsuit against Minister of Culture Alexander Sokolov. It relates to Sokolov's description of the recent Sotsart show in Paris as "Russia's disgrace" and the barring of multiple works from exhibition. UPDATE: according to some reports (e.g. Vremya.ru, in Russian), the essence of Rodionov's complaint is Sokolov's insinuation that the Tretyakov Gallery was in cahoots with commercial galleries, helping to increase the market-value of works by including them in the show.
