In particular, a 63-year-old native of Kazakhstan tried to transport 43 coins, dated from 1876 to 1939, as well as the book Benito Mussolini "Ich rede mit Bruno" published in 1942, in which he talks about the relationship between son and father and reflects on fascism and religion, across the customs border of Ukraine.
The coins and the book were seized for examination to establish their historical and cultural value.
An administrative protocol was drawn up on this fact in accordance with Part 3 of Article 471 of the Customs Code of Ukraine.
