Director General Piotrovsky mentions parts of the collection being brought back from safe storage in the Urals after the Russians broke the German siege of Leningrad in 1944, though curiously there's no mention of any loot being brought EAST from Germany in 1945.

The Scythians and Sarmatians were the original peoples who inspired the Greek legends of the centaurs and the Amazons -- the mounted Scythian warriors seeming to be one with their horses, and the female warriors of the Sarmatians stood out so much that the legend has discarded the men of the Sarmatian tribe.
