Thousands of documents stolen from city archives
By Linda Jones
More than 7,000 irreplaceable documents -- including historic decrees signed
by Peter the Great -- have
been stolen from St Petersburg's state archives.
Thieves helped themselves to handfuls of ancient manuscripts from binders in
bundles of up to 50 before
making their escape from Russia's biggest historical archive, on Millionaya
Ulitsa.
St Petersburg man Anatoly Feinberg was arrested in connection with the theft
last Friday.
