Gents,
I chanced upon an article about the looting of a mansion belonging to Ukraine's former Prosecutor General. As the photos attest, the place has apparently been totally gutted.
I just wanted to point out one picture in particular, which shows two cases full of St. George awards in the background (plus a reflection of the larger case on a different glass frame). Can't help but wonder what the story was with these – authentic, fake, stolen, purchased, collected, gifted, prestigious items, historical interest... – and what has become of them.
