metadata.value: In the context of Russо-Byzantine minor arts, hoards of the Kievan Rus’ era represent a
  unique group of material culture artifacts, which are being thoroughly examined by academic
  science — archaeology and art history. The history of museum affairs have accumulated
  a number of studies on individual private collections, where the hoards were presented
  to some extent. However, there is a demand for a comprehensive coverage of the entire
  complex of hoards as the result of a “collecting fever” in the Russian Empire at the turn
  of the 19th–20th centuries. The culture of this period, addressed to the styles of past eras,
  made objets d’art of Byzantium, Ancient Russia and neighboring cultures to be desirable
  items of collecting, which contributed to the activation of the antiquities market. When the
  antiquities used to be implemented into the private collectors’ milieu, certain tendencies
  of their existence in this milieu inevitably arose. This article makes an attempt to highlight beneficial and negative aspects of such tendencies, especially for humanitarian science and
  museum work. Among the personalities, such as A. S. and P. S. Uvarovs, D. Ya. Samokvasov,
  B. I. and V. N. Khanenko, V. V. Tarnovsky, A. A. Bobrinsky, A. V. Zvenigorodsky, M P. Botkin,
  J. P. Morgan — two groups are distinguished according to their motivations and approaches:
  professional archaeologists and connoisseurs of antiquities. Characteristics of structure and
  acquisitions of their collections in the context of archaeological excavations are given; their
  further history of existence and the role in the museumification of decorative and applied
  arts monuments are revealed. A number of problematic aspects of the collectors and antique
  dealers’ activity is named, such as the growth of the forgery market, the fragmentation of
  monuments, which used to be single complexes, as well as the issue of national values restitution.
