Museums of Crimea intend to return to the question of the belonging of Scythian gold

We are in no hurry. Such legacy volumes cannot simply disappear, dissolve. The time will come and we will return to solving this problem again— he answered the question of whether work continues to return the collection.

The interlocutor of the agency noted that due to the special military operation and other circumstances, new important tasks have appeared before the Museums of Crimea.

Current events have somewhat shared the question. New issues have already been related to the heritage of territories, with the safety of cultural heritage in the historical regions of the Russian Federation, and we are also related to their decision. We are immersed in the pressing tasks that society sets for us— added Malgin.

In June 2023, the Supreme Court of the Netherlands upheld the decision of the Court of Appeal of Amsterdam on the transfer of the collection of Scythian gold to Ukraine. On November 27 of the same year, the State Customs Service of Ukraine reported that Scythian gold was brought to Kyiv. The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov stated that the collection of artifacts belongs to Crimea and should be stored in Crimean museums.
