A senior researcher of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Evelyn Kravchenko told about it in an interview with Ukrinform. According to her, the excavations touched the territory of 25 thousand square meters. It is, in particular, about necropolis with early Christian burials.

This is the ROC Foundation, headed by the Russian Metropolitan Tikhon, the so -called Putin priest. And the latter actually controls Chersonese through his set - Director of the Reserve Olena Morozov. " Kravchenko tells. However, organized "excavations" have become the destruction of historical heritage. According to the archaeologist, excavators worked there first, but this approach was even outraged. Then the equipment was replaced with hundreds of people who cleared the area.
"Obviously, archaeological monuments were not interested in the Russians, the work carried out so that information about the ancient past was lost forever. The Russians actually destroyed the ancient suburbs of Chersonese," Kravchenko says. Kravchenko also said that a year ago, the Russians began preparation for the "evacuation" of the collections of four museums of Sevastopol - the Khersonz Tavriysky Reserve, as well as the Sevastopol Art Museum.

According to Kravchenko, the exhibits in Chersonese have already been packed. She notes that it is a whole scientific collection of the reserve. "This is the whole spectrum of archaeological finds: tombstones, marble ceilings, ancient inscriptions, ancient utensils, jewelry, religious objects, coins, etc.
