Shortly after the October Revolution in Russia, the property of Romanov dynasty was confiscated by the new government. Gold, silver, jewels and portraits that used to belong to the royal family, including most Easter eggs, were recorded one by one, packaged and transported to the Kremlin arsenal. Some eggs were lost when the palace was looted. The only egg that was not found at that time was Lord St. George's egg, which was the last egg made by Faberge. The empress dowager Maria Feodorovna received this gift in Crimea, St. Petersburg on 19 16. She never returned to St. Petersburg, and Maria only retreated when the British cruiser hit there. With this egg and other valuables, she fled from Yalta to the British Empire on the British warship Marpolo. Lord St. George's egg has also become her most precious egg.

According to Lenin's orders, all the jewels and eggs were sent to Moscow. In the tunnel of the dark storage room of the Kremlin military factory, some treasures were lost, and no one knew where they were. There, the crates containing eggs are still well preserved, even unopened, and guarded by the Kremlin army. However, after Stalin came to power, Lenin's efforts to protect Russian cultural heritage were rejected. In exchange for western economic support for his new regime, Stalin exchanged these precious Russian royal relics. 1927, these jewels were rediscovered elsewhere. For the new regime, they think it is most natural to exchange these jewels for economic support. So these treasures were taken out for identification and finally sold to the west.
