Museum of the legendary First Cavalry Army of Civil War was recently robbed. The commander of the Army was future Marshal Budenny and museum hosted not only items from the history of the First Cavalry Army, but also many personal belongings of Budenny.
Security in the museum was minimum and thieves had no problem breaking in. Stolen items include:
- two Marshal Budenny uniforms,
- Budenny fur cavalry coat,
- several silver decorated sabers,
- dagger,
- various weapons.
According to the officals, the most valuable items were kept in the safe and robbers couldn't take them.
I guess soon some of the Budenny's items will be for sale...
