WAR&SANCTIONS: moscow Seized at Least 164 Archaeological Artifacts from Crimea 24.03.2025
The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine has published information on 14 russian museum workers involved in propaganda and aiding the theft of Ukrainian cultural artifacts from temporarily occupied territories. It has also been confirmed that 164 archaeological artifacts discovered during excavations of the ancient cities of "Nymphaeum" and "Pantikapaion" have been illegally transported from occupied Crimea.
Since 2022, russian museums have been systematically conducting propaganda activities in the occupied territories. They organize exhibitions, lectures, and educational programs to legitimize the occupation. Their goal is to integrate Ukrainian museums into the russian cultural space and erase Ukrainian identity.
Among those involved:

irina zhukova is the director of the All-russian Historical and Ethnographic Museum, which in 2024 organized the exhibition "Unity Through the Ages" in temporarily occupied Luhansk Oblast to promote the so-called "historical connection between Donbas and russia."
alexander shkolnik is the director of the "Museum of the Great Patriotic War," which 2023, hosted training sessions for museum workers from occupied Donetsk on how to promote russian historical narratives among museum visitors.
The "Heritage Looters" list includes sergei naryshkin, the head of russia's Foreign Intelligence Service, the "History of the Fatherland" Foundation, and the russian Historical Society, which operates seven branches in temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories.
The War&Sanctions portal has gathered data on 996 stolen objects and 260 individuals involved in the looting of Ukrainian cultural heritage, historical falsification, and the erasure of Ukrainian identity.
The DIU emphasizes that those who attempt to rewrite history and destroy Ukrainian national identity will face just retribution.
