Russia also received for safekeeping archives of the Romanian Academy, priceless religious artifacts and manuscripts and even multiple deposits that citizens kept at the Romanian banks. It is impossible to estimate the value of the second transport, the value of the first transport could not even stand close to this one.
And then Russian Bolshevik Revolutions of 1917 happened. And, as you many know, Bolsheviks refused to abide and respect an treaty signed by tsar and previous government. Numerous attempts of Romania to recover its national treasure were futile. Then only stuff that Romania got back was bits and pieces of the archives in 1935 and small part of the paintings and ancient objects in 1956. Even after the fall of the Soviet Union all negotiations with the present day Russia failed. And there is no hope that national Treasure will ever be returned back to Romania.
