Specialists from Crimea helped: in Kherson the invaders robbed the art museum
According to Dotsenko, the military of the Russian Federation was taken out of the museum by paintings of the XVIII-XIX centuries, which belong to the brushes of Western European, Ukrainian and Russian artists. The occupiers also stole the paintings created during the USSR. But modern painting of looters is not interested. The paintings created by our contemporaries remained in the museum building. "The museum was robbed from October 31 to November 4.
Almost 70 people were loaded with paintings in the trucks that were moved from Kherson as they were filled. A group of people who robbed the museum consisted of loaders and FSB workers," Dotsenko said. And her colleague - the keeper of the museum's funds, Anna Skrypka - claims that among the Russians who rob the museum could be attended by museum employees who advised the military about the value of exhibits and methods of transporting paintings.
According to Babel journalists, who conducted their own investigation, Russian military was taken away from the Kherson Art Museum to the Simferopol Museum of Local History. The locals told media staff about the trucks, from which the paintings were unloaded near the museum. Recall that the Russians stole more than 15 thousand museum values in Kherson region.
