NATALIA Vasilyevna Grigoryeva

While serving as Director General of the "Novgorod State United Museum-Reserve", Grigorieva facilitated the organization and staging of the exhibition "The Gold of Byzantium" at the museum under her jurisdiction, for which Ukrainian cultural artifacts were illegally transferred from the "Chersonesos Tauric" Museum-Reserve, located in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea.
The concept of the exhibition was based on showcasing the purported shared historical and cultural heritage of Novgorod and Chersonesos. Museum artifacts illegally removed from the temporarily occupied Crimea were integrated into the exhibition as elements intended to reinforce russian historical and political narratives regarding the "shared history" of russia and Ukraine.
