And Wolfgang Eichwede, of the Eastern Europe Institute at Bremen University, who has taken part in countless talks with Soviet officials to negotiate the return of works to Bremen, points out that the two sides approach the issue from drastically different perspectives: "While the Germans cite legal arguments, the Russians cite historical responsibility.
