U.S. court ordered Russia to pay $ 50 thousand daily before returning the Schneerson
Court for the District of Columbia on Wednesday ordered the Russian government to pay 50 thousand dollars a day for failing to return the American Hasidim kept in the archives of the Russian Federation Schneerson. In late July 2011 a U.S. court decided to begin the process of returning Jewish religious movement "Chabad Lubavitch" approximately 12,000 books and 50,000 rare documents from the collection of Schneerson, now owned by library fund of the Russian Federation. This trial did not allow the state cultural organizations in Russia, for example, major museums, participate in cross-cultural exchange, as they are in no way are protected from the claims of third parties. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth issued a reasoned decision, rejecting the objections of the U.S. Department of Justice that the court has no right to impose such sanctions on Russia and these measures do not correspond to the interests of U.S. foreign policy and cause harm.Hasidic movement lawyers have said they will seek the seizure of Russian property in the U.S., if Russia will continue to ignore the court's decision. U.S. Justice Department and the State Department does not comment on the decision and its possible further action. The authorities of the Russian Federation, according to lawyers, are not directly involved in litigation since 2009.In January 2012, the Minister stated that it intends to enter into negotiations on the fate of the Schneerson, because of which hurt the cultural exchange between Russia and the U.S., as long as there is no U.S. court canceled the decision, decided to return the collection of American Hasidim.

  1. Очень смешно. Решения суда США в России стоит не дороже бумаги на которой оно напечатано. Суд США однозначно забыл где его юрисдикция.

  2. Very funny. U.S. court decision in Russia is no more than the paper on which it is printed. U.S. Court clearly forgot where its jurisdiction.
