SIMFEROPOL, November 27 State Duma deputy from the Crimean region Mikhail Sheremet called on the Kiev authorities not to hide Scythian gold far away and take good care of it , since the collection will have to be returned to Crimea.
Earlier, the customs service of Ukraine reported that a truck with a collection of Scythian gold entered the territory of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, where its identification will take place in the treasury of the National Museum of Ukraine. The Allard Pearson Museum in Amsterdam has confirmed that it has donated a collection of Scythian gold to Ukraine.
“The collection of Scythian gold was actually stolen from Crimea and handed over to a terrorist state called Ukraine. I urge the Kiev authorities not to hide Scythian gold far away and take good care of it, since the collection will have to be returned to Crimea. We will definitely come for it and cultural property Russia will return to Crimean museums again,” Sheremet said.
According to him, the transfer of the collection to Kyiv hit the prestige of the Allard Pearson Museum and the system of organizing inter-museum international exhibitions.
Four Crimean museums – the Kerch Historical and Cultural Reserve (which later became part of the East Crimean Reserve), the Central Museum of Taurida, the Bakhchisarai Historical and Cultural Reserve and the Tauride Chersonese – sent an exhibition in 2013 to Bonn, and then to Amsterdam “Crimea is a golden island in the Black Sea.” After the reunification of Crimea with Russia in 2014, the Netherlands faced the question of who should return the collection to. The Amsterdam Court of Appeal decided on October 26, 2021 that the collection of Scythian gold should be transferred to Ukraine. In January 2022, the museums of Crimea sent a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court of the Netherlands, but it upheld the decision of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal to transfer the collection of Scythian gold to Ukraine.
