Crimean museums sent an operation to the District Court of Amsterdam to decide on the transfer of exhibits from the exhibition "Crimea: Gold and Secrets of the Black Sea" to Kiev. Let us remind you that these items are much better known as "Scythian gold". According to representatives of the museum community of the peninsula, the corresponding appeal was passed on last Monday. The detailed text of the appeal will be presented a little later. The terms for consideration of the complaint will be determined by the court in the appropriate order.
Recall that on December 14 last year, the Amsterdam District Court ruled to hand over the Scythian gold to Ukraine. The decision of the body states that Crimea is not a sovereign state, which means that it has no right to call archaeological artifacts its cultural heritage. On the same day, Arina Novoselskaya, head of the Ministry of Culture of the republic, officially announced that Crimea would challenge this decision. The exact same statement was made by Stanislav Govorukhin, head of the State Duma Committee on Culture.
We add that the dispute over the ownership of the ill-fated gold has been going on for several years, namely since 2014, from the very moment when Crimea became part of the Russian Federation. At that time, the exhibition was located in Amsterdam. The local authorized persons decided that the further fate of gold would be decided either in court or by agreement of the disputing parties. Despite this, in the fall of 2014, part of the archaeological collection was nevertheless transferred to Kiev.

Art project Science Vs Delirium. Science against delusion, psychedelic prints against photographs
Undoubtedly, it is not given to everyone to engage in science - one lacks abilities, the other perseverance, the third - movement and impressions, the fourth - motivation.

Who was taken as court jester in Russia, and how was life for cheerful chatterboxes at the Russian court
The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word jester is a harmless, stupid person, but rather funny. However, the true role of the jester in the history of mankind was, perhaps, one of the most important roles at every European court and in Russia, as well. Among them were people who were very smart and sagacious, sharp-tongued, under the guise of fun and tomfoolery, exposing the true court fools.
