AbstractWhile the Germans built the Amber Room, gave it to Russia as a gift and eventually stole it, the circle now comes full with German money paying to complete the Amber Room's reconstruction. Ruhrgas had learned about the project through the newspapers and approached the Tsarskoe Selo Museum about it. According to Ivan Sautov, the museum's director, the ruble equivalent of $7.7 million had already been spent on it by the Soviet and then Russian government until the mid-1990's. During the ceremonies, the Russian Minister of Culture, Vladimir Yegorov, emphasized that "Ruhr-gas's initiative sends a positive signal for German-Russian relations because the Amber Room is both a legend and a symbol of the huge loss of art treasures suffered by Russia during the war." Perhaps unwilling to dwell on dark chapters in its past, the German side attached another meaning to it. "The Amber Room has enormous emotional significance for both Germany and Russia," said Friedrich Spath, Ruhrgas's chairman. "And it is a leading symbol of a time when close German and Russian relations were a model for the world." With extensive business dealings in Russia for the last 25 years, purchasing up to one-third of its natural gas supplies there, Ruhrgas has a vested interest in continued good relations between the countries.
