On May 16, border guards and customs officers at the "Izov" railway checkpoint (Ukrainian-Polish border) stopped another attempt to export an antique 19th-century children's book abroad, the press service of the Yahodyn customs reported. \nThe rare edition was found during border and customs control of the "Yaroslav" container train on the international Kyiv-Sławków route. This train is a special type of ground transport by which trucks cross the border on railway platforms. \nThe thing is that through the "Izov" checkpoint of the Yahodyn customs passes Ukraine's only "wide" railway gauge, which stretches almost to the German border. During Soviet times it was planned as a strategic route. And today, taking into account also the environmental aspect, this route is used to reduce the cost of freight transportation, because there is no need to spend money on transferring the train to the "European" gauge. And truck drivers will feel safer in a train compartment than during long, exhausting trips on the roads of Ukraine and Poland. \nHowever, this time someone tried to transport not only export cargo, but also a historical and cultural value. The book was hidden in the toilet of a passenger car, behind the mirror. The owner of the detained item has not yet been identified. \nThe "Russian Reader for Children" compiled by A. Galakhov, published in the city of Saint Petersburg in 1860, has 271 pages, four of which bear the library stamps of the then Kremenets Theological School. The book was published by the printing house of the "Staff of Military Educational Institutions," recommended for initial reading and practical study of the Russian language. The printing of the reader, which consists of religious, historical, epistolary and literary sections, was permitted by the censorship committee of the Russian Empire. \nProtocols have been drawn up on this fact in accordance with Article 352 of the Customs Code of Ukraine (concealment). And the real value and worth of the book will be established in the near future by experts of the Volyn Museum of Local Lore. \n
