So far, for nearly a decade, the long-time debate over the ancient and invaluable Scythian gold has been in the media. With each court ruling and subsequent appeal, public outrage has fired up, as people question its rightful place. Russian officials once again reiterate that the collection rightfully belongs to Crimea, the place of its origin.

‘Scythian Gold Belongs to Crimea, Where It Should Be’ - Kremlin
So far, for nearly a decade, the long-time debate over the ancient and invaluable Scythian gold has been in the media. With each court ruling and subsequent appeal, public outrage has fired up, as people question its rightful place. Russian officials once again reiterate that the collection rightfully belongs to Crimea, the place of its origin.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov recently commented on the fact that the entire
Scythian gold collection was wrongfully transferred to Ukraine by the Netherlands after a strenuous legal battle.
“It [the Scythian gold] belongs to the Crimea. This is where it should be," he told the reporters.
Earlier in the day, the Allard Pierson Museum of Antiquities (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) confirmed the
transfer of the collection to Ukraine.
Previously, the Ukrainian customs service reported that a truck carrying the gold had moved to the premises of the
Kiev-Pechersk Lavra (a historic 11th-century monastery that belongs to the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church). The National Museum of the History of Ukraine is to identify each item of the collection there.
Back in 2013, four Crimean museums sent the Scythian gold as part of the vast “Crimea, a Golden Island in the Black Sea” collection (consisting of almost 2,000 artefacts) to be shown in Bonn and later in Amsterdam.
The museums in question are the Kerch Historical and Cultural Reserve (later merged into the East Crimean Museum), the Tavrida Central Museum, the Bakhchisaray Historical and Cultural Reserve and the National Preserve of Tauric Chersonesos (Chersones Tavrichesky).
