Those that I have for a long time. They have unequivocally written that the signature was put much later.” According to him, "the examination, which the center of the grabar made the center of the grab, generally denies Brodsky's authorship."

In November 2014, Koch posted on his Facebook page a photo of the decision on the appointment of an examination of the authenticity of Brodsky’s authenticity, conducted a year earlier. The signature in the picture is made by a blue pigment and dates from 1911. It depicts a sea surf and a stone marina.
