  1. Send them home now. These artifacts should have been sent back to their rightful owners years ago.

  2. Thanks God, this gold was abroad in
    2014. Otherwise the subhumans would have melted it to gold bars. Or rings for their girlfriends…..

  3. Update: “The Supreme Court’s decision puts an end to this dispute. The Allard Pierson Museum must transfer the artistic valuables to the state of Ukraine, not the Crimean museums,” the court ruling stated.

  4. It is bizarre that there was even so much of my tax payers money spent on this non-issue.

    It is just obvious that the gold couldn’t be returned during occupation. Russia appealed 2 times, meaning 3 court cases, including the Supreme court. This case could have easily cost millions on lawyers fees, money I would have preferred on being spent to something useful to help Ukraine, like arms or humanitarian goods.

    When it comes to the lawyers, money stops being an issue apparently, like it is the only important thing in the world.

    Now like 9 years was spent on something on which everyone knew the outcome in advance.

  5. The world consists of human beings, than animals, than subhumans, and than far, far, far beneath the Russians.
