Review
for the Compendium
of Legal Acts of the Council of
on Protection of
Cultural Heritage
The Compendium of Legal Acts of the
Council of Europe on Protection of Cultural Heritage is prepared and edited by Sergey N. Molchanov, Printing House:
Bank of Cultural Information, Ekaterinburg, 2001, 520 pp.
This Compendium is of scientific and
practical character and is intended, in the first place, for professionals in
the field of preservation of cultural values.
The merit of this Compendium is that
it publishes both normative and non-normative acts for the first time in
As Mr.
Molchanov quite justly mentions: "Protection of cultural values today – is
a most complex and integrated task, which requires systematic efforts and
laborious work of professionals from various and varied fields of human activities
– both theoreticians and practitioners". It is this book that helps to
achieve the task – protection of cultural values.
