A Scythian Gold is in the good hands. A psychological sketch.
A morning.
I am reading on the Internet the material about the painting by Rembrandt "The Night Watch".
A nice people.
At this time, the news are on the radio: Aksenov comments on the decision of the Dutch Court of Appeal: to whom to transfer the Scythian gold.
I am alarmed.
Something needs to be done!
What to do?
To get dressed, immediately, to walk to the bus stop and to go to the museum on the central street of the city: to look at the Scythian gold (before it's too late).
I imagine myself groping for a mask before entering the bus, how I pay for the fare, and how I get the most comfortable seat on the bus.
The bus will go fast. Everyone is alarmed by the information about Scythian gold.
The bus driver is agitated and says something. He seems to be communicating with relatives from Amsterdam. Russia is becoming more and more attractive - even Natalia Oreiro has received the Russian citizenship.
And now the bus rushes along the main street - at the maximum permitted speed. It is very important not to break the average speed rule. It's a decidion of serious people ...
The central street of the city has preserved several pre-revolutionary buildings.
The sight of these houses can inspire memories of the past.
At school age, I went to the local history museum to look at the Scythian gold.
I am recalling the dark fabric (black velvet?) and the gold objects against this dark background.
Of the objects, it seems, an element of weapons stood out there - a scabbard for a Scythian sword.
But I may be wrong - my visit to inspect the Scythian gold took place quite a long time ago.
It's a separate plot. The abduction of objects of Scythian gold - was written about it somewhere. The intruder climbed through the window at night, took some of the most valuable archaeological artifacts and melted several gold items into gold bars. Everyone had to go through it - including the connoisseurs and fans of archeology ... This script goes down in the history of the city along with the raids of the Fantomas ... It was also a long time ago ...
Surely, behind all these memories, I will miss (will forget) the desired stop.
I am getting off the bus ... And doubts will seize me. Do I have enough antibodies to visit the museum?
There, in the yard of the museum, there were several ancient stone women and even, it seems, a forty-five millimeter cannon.
The cannon doesn't interest me now. But how not to find myself involved in some anti-covid affairs instead of the viewing the gold objects on the black velvet.
If I cross the street and get on the bus of the back direction to return home, I can take a closer look at the passengers on the bus (or those, whom I can see from the bus window). Who knows, may be I will see a character resembling an ancient stone woman (from the top of a steppe mound)?
May be, on the way back, I will go out next to the market stop (previously it was a separate city next to Rostov)? There used to be several signs of jewelry stores near the bus stop. I can enter one of them and to look at the gold items through the glass showcase. The elements of Scythian weapons will not be there - but wedding rings, earrings, pendants and other objects will surely lie - you can look at them through the glass.
But what's the point? What's the sense?
I'll probably go home - without going out next to the market stop ...
I'll come home and will read the material about Rembrandt ...
However, I can read this material right now - if I don't go to the bus stop and if I don't go to the museum to urgently look at the Scythian gold.
It is enough to click on the Internet link.
I click.
Rembrandt looks at me half a turn. His look is cheerful, friendly. In the background is his wife. She also looks at me with sympathy.
Somehow both Rembrandt and his wife convince me: everything will be fine ...
In general, instead of traveling by bus, I can watch on the Internet a video report on the study under a super-microscope of the Golden Troy Collection of Heinrich Schliemann.
It's somehow calmer.
An employee of a German Museum in the last days of the war handed over the Troy gold of Schliemann to the command of the Red Army for preservation.
Quietly - without any scandals - the gold is stored, it is researched again and again ...
It seems that Rembrandt is smiling to me ...
