The Prosecutor’s office of the Nekouz district of Yaroslavl oblast brought to justice administration of the rural history Museum for violations of arms trafficking.
The Minister on this occasion said that the Museum, located in the village of New Nekouz, “in violation of the requirements of the legislation kept 6 guns and 4 units of parts of a firearm. All items have significant damage in the form of corrosion. In addition, identified 13 items listed in the receipt books as weapons (spearheads, knives)”.
Thus a license for the storage and exhibition of weapons of the Museum does not have the permission of the internal Affairs authorities issued. The prosecutors say that weapons and “key part” kept in the metal safe in the storage room for Museum exhibits, are not equipped with technical means of protection and does not meet the licensing requirements”. Rusty guns and spearheads were seized and handed over to the police. The municipal authorities made a representation, and the Director of the institution held accountable.
In this case, said RIA “Novosti”, at the Museum say that the building has a alarm, however, when checking this information, “no one listened”.
Nekouz regional Museum operates in the village since 1967, his most prized exhibit is a collection of spinning wheels. Close to the New Nekouz in 1238 there was a battle on the river Sit, which is one of the key battles of the Mongol invasion.
