In 2023, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts hosted the exhibition "Gold of the Sarmatian Chieftains", which for the first time brought together unique artifacts from the Filippovsky kurgans - a burial mound group of the 5th - 4th centuries BC, located in the Southern Urals (Orenburg Region). These mounds were called "royal" because rich burials of the Sarmatian nobility were discovered under them, the burial inventory of which included numerous gold jewelry. The exhibits of the exhibition are the finds of the expedition of the Bashkir branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences, which worked in 1986-1990 under the leadership of A.Kh. Pshenichnyuk, and the Priuralsk archaeological expedition of the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences under the leadership of L.T. Yablonsky, who worked on the excavations of the Filippovsky kurgans from 2004 to 2014 with the assistance of the Orenburg Governor's Museum of History and Local Lore. The exhibits for the exhibition were provided by the Institute of Ethnological Research named after R.G. Kuzeev - a separate structural subdivision of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution, the Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IER UFRC RAS) and the Orenburg Governor's Museum of History and Local Lore. The film tells about the excavations of the Filippovsky kurgans. For the first time, it presents rare footage of the excavations from the archive of the IA RAS, personal archives of the expedition participants. The film uses materials shot at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts and the All-Russian Art Scientific Restoration Center (VKhNRTS) named after Academician I.E. Grabar.
