1. You use 'ex' to mean except ? In common parlance ex means 'example'. So your phrase becomes: National treasures (example gold) were returned in '35 and '56.
Which is what I responded to.
Gold was part bars and part rare historical coins.
Also still unreturned, which is extremely valuable:
Queen Marie’s jewels were not returned
The Romanian Crown Jewels were not returned
Royal and dynastic archives
Private deposits of Romanian citizens
Orthodox Church treasures
2. Who were these Bolsheviks ? There was no government, they weren't Russian / Soviet - what were they ? Give me some source that shows Romania was fighting Tsarist Russia / URSS / Russia (?). Your article doesn't clarify that at all. I wonder why.
Romania entrusted Tsarist Russia with its national treasure.
Do you deny there's state continuity from before 1918 ?
You meant to say "ex." is common, noting the period for the abbreviation. Whereas ex is commonly used (See "ex dividend".) as I did above.
I'm skipping the rest of your reply because it's a waste of time after you loaded up with a spiteful tone -- "you don't know what you're talking about"-- only to be wrong about language and somehow you dispute the Wikipedia article which clearly mentions (anti-)Bolshevik opponents.
You linked a dictionary that's paywalled and further, all of the 12 stub entries appear to refute your interpreted meaning of "ex" from earlier and affirm my usage.
