Regarding this "curiosity," when I was in the Soviet Union in 1986 as a guest of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, I was told that a cache of Torah scrolls had been uncovered near Berditchev, in the Ukraine.
What happened to them? The "authorities" distributed them to museums in Armenia, Georgia, and the Soviet "Asian" Republics. One can only wonder if this is one of those scrolls...
