The Russian ambassador to the United States
will be in Minneapolis on Monday to present an award to one of the
founding officials of The Museum of Russian Art.


      Ambassador Sergey Kislyak will confer
the Order of Friendship on Bradford Shinkle IV. Shinkle was the
museum's first president when it was organized in 2000 and served
until 2007.


      Museum Director Judi Dutcher says the award recognizes Shinkle's
efforts in promoting Russian art and cultural cooperation between
the two countries.


      The order is considered one of the most prestigious awards a
foreign citizen can receive from the Russian government. The
museum's founder, Raymond Johnson, received it from former Russian
President Vladimir Putin in 2006.
