Russians plunder history under the guise of archaeology
Kyiv • UNN
Russian "archaeologists" are illegally conducting excavations in occupied Crimea, stealing artifacts and falsifying history. Similar "expeditions" are being prepared in Kherson Oblast with the aim of appropriating Ukraine's past.
In the temporarily occupied territories of Crimea, Russian "archaeologists" are illegally conducting excavations with the aim of stealing artifacts and falsifying history. Similar "expeditions" are being prepared in the temporarily occupied Kherson region as well. This was reported by the Center for National Resistance (CNR), according to UNN.
Details
It is noted that in the temporarily occupied territories, Russian "archaeologists" have begun excavations in Mangup-Kale (Bakhchysarai district), without any legal right.
Their goal is not science, but plunder: exporting artifacts to the Russian Federation and rewriting history
According to the CNR, the arrival of Russian "expeditions" is also expected in the temporarily occupied Kherson region.
"Their task is to falsify historical facts to create 'evidence' of the alleged historical belonging of these lands to the Russian Federation. This is not research - this is an attempt to appropriate our past, just as they are trying to seize the future," the Center for National Resistance reports.
Recall
Russian occupiers approved a list of enterprises in Luhansk region for "privatization", including state mines and abandoned facilities. The Center for National Resistance considers this to be plunder, as all "ownership documents" are legally null and void.
