Abstract
The article deals with the restoration of the 17th-century Mother of God of Smolensk which the author completed in 1981. In describing the condition of the icon, and the measures taken to restore it - according to the wishes of the private owner - to its former glory , the author gives an insight into the history both of icons themselves, and of their restoration in various countries. -- AATA
