Kyiv: Arson cover-up of theft of antique wooden boxes

A Hutzul home was burned to the ground at the outdoor Pyrohovo museum
outside of Kyiv to cover up a robbery.  

That opinion was voiced by Hanna Skrypnyk, director of the Art history
institute. She said that there were 23 antique carved wooden boxes in the
Hutzul house before it went up in flames. After the fire was out, metal
casings from only three of them were found. The artifact home was lost to
fire on September 15th. The investigation into the blaze continues.
