The Chersonesus scarf was created as part of the "Treasures of Ukraine" collection, which is designed to tell the world about the destruction during the occupation of a unique historical monument of the ancient era. It was the only monument of world importance in the Crimea, in the city of Sevastopol. In 2013 UNESCO listed Chersonesus as a World Heritage Site.

In the city of archaeological remains, the Russians built an open theater, and later an Archaeological Park and a cathedral.

Most of the artifacts found during the new construction were taken to Russia. Among the artifacts were frescoes, icons, and household items.
