Russian archaeologists search for "historical belonging" of Chersonesos to the Russian Federation

This was reported by the Centre for National Resistance (CNR).

The invaders are excavating the national monument Chersonesos Tavricheskyy on the temporarily occupied peninsula. The purpose of the research is to prove "the belonging of the ancient city of Chersonesos to Russia".

It is noted that Russian archaeologists and local collaborators are conducting excavations under the supervision of the military.

The peninsula underwent something similar during World War II, when the peninsula was excavated by the Nazis, who were then looking for evidence that Crimea was a purely German land where the Gothic state used to reign," the CNS added.

At the same time, the Russians are trying to prove that Chersonesos was inhabited by Slavs and the city was called Korsun. This is necessary for Russian propaganda to link the peninsula with Kievan Rus', the heir to which the Putin regime considers itself.

According to the occupants' plan, this will give Russian propaganda not only to "justify its right to the peninsula", but also to level the history of the Crimean Tatars as "an insignificant stage in the history of Crimea". To fulfil the task, Russian "historians" may resort to hoaxes and deliberate destruction of Greek heritage," the CNS said.

Earlier Socialportal reported that the occupants are going to remove some of the exhibits from the Museum-reserve "Chersonesos Tavrichesky" in Sevastopol. For this purpose, the Russians are preparing the relevant documentation to justify the relocation of historical values.
