In the forty-first year, during the retreat of the Red Army, Stalin issued an order "to leave nothing to the enemy." The treasures of the Vorontsov Palace did not have time to be taken out. The director of the museum, Stepan Shchekoldin, was ordered to set fire to the palace, along with all the artistic and historical values ​​that were in this palace-museum. He didn't agree. And he began to act at his own peril and risk. The Red Army retreated, fascist troops entered the Crimea. In order to save the palace, Shchekoldin convinced the Germans that all valuables should be preserved and shown to German soldiers and officers. And they agreed, they didn’t touch anything, they conducted excursions there, they even introduced a fee for visiting. And during the retreat of the Nazis from Yalta, Stepan Shchekoldin did not allow the German miners to destroy the palace and the valuables already in it.
