In the paper, your roommate has used some content from French Art Treasures at the Hermitage, by Albert Kostenevich. You ask to read the original source to verify whether your roommate has paraphrased properly, or committed plagiarism. Original source material: At the time of the fall of the Russian empire, the capital contained a considerable number of paintings by 19th-century European artists - in the royal and Grand-Ducal palaces, in aristocratic residences, and simply in wealthy households. Many of them found their way into the museums. The Soviet authorities quickly expropriated any items of artistic value, whether they belonged to the Tsar, the Church or the propertied classes. Nationalisation, often a euphemism for robbery, cannot be excused even when it has a solid ideological foundation. Kostenevič, A. (1999).
