Containers containing paintings, sculptures and many other ancient artifacts belonging to the Russian government were kept at Finnish customs. In the face of this hold, which caused a serious diplomatic crisis, the Russian government accused Finland of stealing.
About the 46 million dollar artifacts, Russian senator Sergey Tsekov said, “Obviously, not only the European Union and NATO , but the whole European mind lost,” he said. Finland, which announced that it would not return the works taken from Italy and Japan to Russia, caused a new crisis. )
