<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 294540, member: 33&quot;]I visited St. Petersburg in 2005... the only time I have been to Russia. A colleague and I visited an antique store there, and the first thing the staff told us was that they would be unable to sell us any icons because icons were not allowed to be removed from the country. (We hadn&#039;t intended to buy any.) I also heard later that they were not supposed to sell us anything that was over 100 years old. I did buy two real photo postcards and an old card-mounted photo there. They were all approximately 100 years old at the time. But I suppose they didn&#039;t think much of it because the total cost for all three was less than $10 (US).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
