in Russia this is not taken to the museum. For them it's rubbish, which is very expensive to store

I see... It does make sense though. Russia his a very large place and it has rich history and culture. Museums would be full. Been planning on visiting there, I just don't have the resources yet.

I, too, never left Russia. Russia is not rich for everyone. Museums ... the most famous museum is the Hermitage, tens of thousands of exhibits are on the international wanted list. they were stolen by the museum staff.
