As someone who was only interested in entomology as a child, I am confused. The fact is that a collection of insects collected mainly in the USSR in the period from 1986 to 1994 fell into the hands (or rather was found in a desk drawer). The collection is in a packed form, on the cardboard there is a cotton wool bed, a beetle is laid on it, and all this is covered with a film on top. The region, date, and name of the insect are written on the cardboard at the bottom. There are 30 such "packages"in total. Photos are attached below. Of course, because of this storage, some of the samples broke their legs, and from my long-standing experience, I remember that high-quality assembly of a beetle from parts is a very laborious and painstaking process. I don't have time to recreate the collection exactly, and if I return to this hobby, which I am very tempted to do, I will collect everything myself for sport, so to speak. Therefore, I think to sell the collection, hence there are two questions-how feasible it is, that is, whether the revenue will be significant, and whether there will be problems with the law, because theoretically some species can be listed in the Red Book. Thank you in advance for your help.
