Nunna gömde tsarfamiljens smycken

Under den tid som Ryssands sista tsarfamilj spenderade inspärrade i Tobolsk lyckades kejsarinnan Alexandra Feodorovna smuggla ut sina dyrbaraste smycken med familjens betjänt Chemodurov som överlämnade dem till abbedissan på ett närliggande kloster. Inte lång tid därefter avled abbedissan men innan sin död bad en av klostrets systrar att ta hand om juvelerna och gömma dem. I mitten av 1920-talet vräktes nunnorna från klostret och då anförtrodde den ansvariga systern juvelerna åt Vasily Michaelovich Kornilov, en nära bekant. I oktober 1933 förhördes hon av den sovjetiska staten och hon berättade då att hon lämnat den mördade kejsarinnans smycken till Kornilov. När man hörde Kornilov om detta erkände han hur det låg till och lämnade över smyckena till staten. Denna händelse hölls hemlig fram till 1996. Det var ingen liten skatt som den sovjetiska staten fick i sin ägo. Nedan följer en komplett lista på det som hittades i Tobolsk 1933. Jag hade tyvärr inte tålamod nog att översätta listan till svenska. Ni får hålla tillgodo med listan på engelska.

1933 uppskattade man att värdet av dessa smycken uppgick till över 3 miljoner rubler. Man tror även att detta inte är alla smycken som tsarfamiljen hade med sig till Tobolsk, utan att resten fortfarande ligger gömda någonstans i närheten.
Om ändå...
va hände med alla dem där smyckena ?
