Kind of like Britain refusing to return the Grecian Elgin Marbles - although they directly stole those, the Greeks weren't stupid enough to send them, lmao. My point is all governments, ruling "elite", aristocracy etc. are dens of thieves.

"The great thieves lead away the little thief."

Diogenes upon seeing a petty criminal arrested by authorities.

Actual tl:dr:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_Treasure#The_Treasure_since_1917

Very little is known about the Treasure after the October Revolution, but it appears that during World War II all the valuables held by the Soviet state (and presumably of the Romanian state) were taken out from Moscow and sent toward the regions which were 'not endangered'. However, it is clear that they were not kept sealed, as the agreement with the Romanian government said, as the chests of the archives which were returned in 1935 had obviously been rummaged through and many objects and documents were missing.

And from that, you get a title of "nation of thieves"?
