the ideological attitude or historical incompetence of the autoreconstruction of gerasimov's work are criticized today by researchers of russia itself, for example, the reproduction of the face of prince bogolyubsky, which was made by an anthropologist, was also questioned, new methods showed a significant discrepancy between what gerasimov did and the results of modern research in volodymyr-volhynia we are trying to understand whether there can be an underground void which was seen by georadar in the tomb of prince vasilkovich, archaeologist yurii lukomsky suggests examining the area with the help of an inspection camera and an external on the side of the church, there is a ventilation hole, which may be connected to the burial chamber, oh, do you have a picture, well, see if it is there further on, it starts to the left, it goes on and on, it's dark, you do n't say anything to the left, it turns to the left, it turns a little to the left, like this, the generator showed the contours of the

ventilation the hole coincides with the contours of the void recorded by the radar, this means that there is no burial chamber in this city, it was probably destroyed, now the question is where did that box go, because we really did not locate it at all it is possible that he reburied these remains in some way in another way, that they were reburied in the same cathedral from the same place a second time, yes, for me to hear. well, his burial is clear and it is noted in the world of the disappearance of the princely burial in volodymyr-volynsk. i repeat with certainty the mysterious circumstances of the disappearance of the remains of yaroslav the wise from of the marble sarcophagus in sophia of kyiv. we only managed to find out that the old reports on the first researches in the temple got into the funds of the vladimir orthodox brotherhood. the local organization that financed the excavations and ceased to exist a hundred years ago

disappeared without a trace. we need more information about the relatives of yaroslav the wise. criminologists are asking to collect data about his parents. they are needed to calculate regional features when reconstructing the face. it is known that yaroslav's mother was born in polytska, this is modern belarus but there is no information about the father of the baptist of russia, volodymyr the great, in kyiv. ruslan went to the historian dmytro hordienko. he appoints a meeting in the department of rare editions of the library named after vernadsky and immediately points out that ancient texts that could contain information about the birth of the baptist of russia have disappeared today, these sources are completely inaccessible , what was found is such a very interesting document, it is a collection of laws of the russian empire, the complete assembly of the legitimate russian empire, official texts, official documents, the decree of the emperor

peter the great from december 20, 1720, and this decree very clearly states that the great sovereign indicated to all the monasteries that were in to the russian state to review and take away ancient letters of thanks and other curious original letters, as well as books, historical manuscripts and printed books that can be found where needed for information . thus, we see that there is a clear instruction of the emperor to collect and remove books. this law is in effect until the last days of the russian empire. and where did they go? most of all, this is the synodal library , that is, the holy synod, that is, the place where there will be clear control over the release of information, and the actual control of that information contained in the texts themselves. the synodal library is located in moscow this is the main library of the russian orthodox church, which existed in the 16th century. dmytro gordienko

says that after all the chronicles were taken out of ukraine, russia became the place of vladimir's birth. it is clearly written that he was born in budyan, a village near pskov, under olga's housekeeper, the third son of grand duke svyatoslav. volodymyr, this means that kateryna clearly identified the birthplace of volodymyr under the sandy dog , even the village of the osprey forest is clearly named. sanctified by the empress, i.e. in fact, this is the text that could not be doubted. to date, there is no documentary evidence that volodymyr was born in pskov, russia, but during two centuries of active propaganda, first in books and now also on television, there is no doubt that the father of yaroslav the wise was born in another place for our research it is very important to establish the truth because the final result of the reproduction depends on it, the only

clue we have is in sofia kyivska it is here that the sarcophagus in which the baptist was buried is located. i am meeting with the historian vyacheslav kornienko to find out if the remains are normal inside, everything is normal inside, everything is just ordinary , it is a museum object, they disappeared like that in 1940 , this skull was sent to leningrad in the laboratory of gerasim, allegedly the moose plans to recreate the face of volodymyr in the same way that the face of yaroslav was once recreated, and then with the voice of the turtle and further vinnik disappeared directly in leningrad and we have no information about his whereabouts is now, when you start to investigate these questions, you are convinced that it was done upside down, because this is gerasimov's forensic laboratory , and it is clear that it was very well guarded. yaroslav the

wise, prince vasylkovich of volyn, and now also vladimir the great. circumstances, we need to establish the origin of volodymyr the great, and without historical sources and skulls it is almost impossible to do this. we thought to leave this matter, but local historians from the small village of budyatichi in volyn they heard about our baskets from colleagues and invited us to come because according to their version volodymyr the great was born there i want to test this hypothesis and i am going there to meet with the historian olena leshko, she arranged a meeting in a very strange place, it is a rather unique place because that here was the territory of the mother of volodymyr the great, it was here, on this territory, that prince volodymyr was born, it was here that he lived in his youth. well, he ran, perhaps even with his bare feet, according to the legends of which there are already several for centuries from generation to generation, people give,

for example, how the future baptizer learned to fight with swords here, he was helped by the wife of prince sviatoslav, who was the father of young princes, and taught to become a man from early childhood. this is the grandfather of about 10-11-12 years old. when we clearly know that the prince takes sword and tries to use it in some way , and you personally believe in this version. well, i want to say that for the first time this version of hypotheses is not based on any and there are no such strong confirmations as a historian. how should you treat this critically? of course, i would like the fact that the person who was born here was born here, but i want to say with certainty that he was not born in russia, he is definitely a native of ukraine, we did not find real evidence of the birth of volodymyr in budyatich and continued the search in lviv, one of the oldest ancient repositories is located here and museums of ukraine during the

investigation we went to the local historian yuriy divo, he scheduled a meeting near the funds of the lviv historical museum, the researcher says that the artifact has been stored here for 80 years, there is a question where he was born the baptizer of russia here he is in front of us such a unique artifact like a skull pierced with a metal forged nail a real nail yes and where exactly do i see nails here you see a skull filled with soil this is a place this hole in the soil this is a place where a nail entered and this nail was driven directly from above yes from below we see the point of the nail, and the nail itself was killed from above . it is in this dark part that this blow broke through such and such a large part of such and such a nature, perhaps something more. obviously,

pagans could do this over christians, since the evidence says that this is exactly how priests, warriors, and priests used to live. this is probably related to the main theme of christianity, the resurrection, and in order to extinguish this possible resurrection, there is a priest, which they usually talked about, which they preached, and it was necessary to beat this person , that's how they believed that in a priest after death can rise from the graves well, it is so obvious that dozens of them were found, they were found outside volodymyr and inside the city, not only around volodymyr-volynsk, around volodymyr in its immediate surroundings, but this is a unique situation, because nothing like this has been found in russia. this is obviously the events of the pagan era, that is, before the official baptism of volodymyr in 988, other

events related to some kind of confrontation between paganism and christianity, probably hours later , times to find well, i think it is a matter of movement of the pagan entourage of svyatoslav without his direct instructions, such things obviously could not have happened, and he was, if you can say so, the leader of this pagan party in that time of russia, yury diva puts forward a very bold assumption that the city volodymyr-volynsky and its surroundings were the territory where svyatoslav, the father of vladimir the great, ruled, although according to the price version, svyatoslav ruled in russian novgorod, the history of russian geography says so, there are no reasons for that , in fact, because russian novgorod did not exist at that time, two very interesting artifacts were found on the territory of vladimir this is ceramics stamped with bidents, not even vladimir's tridents, but svyatoslav's bidents, more ceramics are

not known to be stamped by vtzezubs anywhere. this is evidence of the fact that that this territory was the share of svyatoslav in this turn is evidence that the future saint from the baptizer of russia was born in the village of budyatychy near volodymyr, the village of budyaka or mentioned in the annals as budyatsya everywhere, where volodymyr's pregnant mother, the little princess olga, was sent in approximately 962, that is, during the time of this pagan reactions, it turns out that this skull is all the initial link of a completely different story, take away what kind of russian history it is from russia from russia. forgive and practically they will not disappear. the roots will disappear. it is known from historical sources that volodymyr the great was brought up among physicists from early childhood, according to yuri, perhaps the last proof of the birth of volodymyr in volyn is the legend of the ancient local family of the kysel family, and we

want to check it. i am going to the church built by adam kysel, one of the most prominent representatives of this family . it is necessary to search for the coat of arms of the kysel people, they owned the land near the village and considered the pagan vikings from svyatoslav's entourage to be their project, if this legend can be proven, it will mean that volodymyr the great could really have been born in volyn. this can be done by researching their coat of arms, which usually contains information about the origin of the family. i found it in the kyseliv ancestral burial ground . ruslan managed to find and research ancient signs. we have the kyseliv coats of arms from different dills. we compared them and obtained incredible results, if you gradually remove the decorations from them later in time, then at the base there will be one sign, the scandinavian rune ira, this proves that the

rare selif could have been founded by a viking pagan from sviatoslav's entourage version of the birth of volodymyr in volyn received another confirmation, we are passing this information on to forensic scientists and will continue the search for the descendants of yaroslav the wise the second city according to our search plan is chernihiv in the 50s of the last century, the famous soviet archaeologist boris rybakov conducted research here the scale of his expedition is almost impressive ten years of constant archaeological excavations , a technical expedition - this is a huge expense of machines, money, funds, they only allocated themselves the absence of archeology in moscow, and they only had the opportunity to engage in such grandiose research in chernihiv. i am meeting with local historian volodymyr pylypenko. i want to know what exactly the moscow archaeologist excavated here on such a scale

. professor rybokov excavated the cathedral of the annunciation, which was built on the chernigov rampart at the end of the 12th century. this photo is visible. chernihiv, er, we are right here right on the border of the old city, and the old church stood on our own something of the rampart. it seems to me that this is exactly what we are looking for. now we can see the site of these excavations, but not far from here, let's look at all the excavations professor rybakov found among all the burials, he identified one of them as the burial of prince vsevolod svyatoslavovich butura, what kind of prince is this? this is a direct descendant of yaroslav the wise, this is his great-grandson, a hero of the igor regiment for a certain time.

cathedral of the annunciation. it seems to me that it is just right for our research where we can see his remains. unfortunately, in ukraine we cannot do this because everything was taken to moscow . all skeletons from all the graves. all bodies. all bones . all tombs. was taken to the white stone house. and why, why, why do they need the bones, why is this a great ideology? the one who controls history also controls the current situation. reconstruction of the face, then the whole face can be shown to children starting from a young age, to say that this is a great russian prince, er, this is a russian state, russian history. that's all. it's all links of one chain. it's all a big, big state imperial ideology. the story of volodymyr pylypenko confirms that the reconstruction of the face of yaroslav the

wise were done for propaganda purposes, and the remains of the princes disappeared because of professor rybakov's plan. the photo clearly matches what is there now. unfortunately, the church did not survive. we already wanted to delete chernihiv from our plan. searches, but they learned about another tomb. it was found by chance already after the excavations of moscow archaeologists in 1967. during the laying of the heating line, the builders came across a stone sarcophagus and human remains. it is now standing in the borisogleb cathedral, but where did the bones go and who was buried there so that everything to find out i met with the archaeologist oleg vasyuta good day good day sit down was it possible to establish whose burial remains were found outside the economic cathedral, usually representatives

the princely family was buried inside the temples themselves , but from the 11th century, if in the year 178 to be exact, there is such a report that hleb svyatoslavych, killed in the north, was buried behind the spassky cathedral, with a high degree of probability that the burial belongs to svyatoslavovych, it was the grandson of yaroslav the wise, therefore, yaroslav the wise, yaroslav the wise preserved through i can't believe that it was finally possible to get closer to the goal and find the remains of one of yaroslav the wise's closest relatives, here you can see when he says that he is the grandson of yaroslav the wise especially this belly is starting to be treated, this man lived a thousand years ago and was a witness to the prosperity of the kyivan state, but what kind of person was

this prince and what did he look like in medieval europe among the rulers it was fashionable to order miniatures and family portraits, this is something like modern photo sessions at one of these among the miniatures commissioned during the time of yaroslav the wise, there is an image of his grandson hleb, or the skull, we searched for the face, the face is rubbed, but the figure is visible. was intelligent and very naberezhno, it is surprising that his remains did not end up in moscow, as the rest found in chernihiv were sent to moscow. here we even have such a worn cover from this parcel to the anthropologist gerasimov, but at that time the anthropologist died and perhaps they simply did not pay attention, see what really remained moscow ot moscow is the address exactly uh, all the threads lead to the laboratory of mykhailo gerasimov, this is already the fourth princely skull that was sent there and he is

the only one that returned only because the anthropologist died in such a way that there was a scheme for the removal of princely remains from the territory of ukraine, which after gerasimov's death failed. well, maybe . to confirm that they belong to this particular prince. what can you say about these bones? he is not big. he is quite so graceful, but at the same time he has fairly well-developed arches above the bridge of the nose. well, you can say that this man was somewhere in the range of 25-30 years, there are traces of injury on the skull and on the patichine. this is a straight line. this is a straight

line. the cut of the bone goes like this. that is, he could have been hit from behind with his right hand a little from behind and from above. in this case, we will think that he suffered some kind of injury in fighting in some skirmish during some conflict, this is a terrible death, this is from behind, and with such force, the brain was damaged, and i think that death will be instantaneous, thanks to tomography, we will get a 3d model of the skull and soon we will see what this person looked like, the results of the examination confirm the circumstances of the prince's death are described in the chronicles, he was beheaded by pagans, there is very little information about this prince, although his life allows you to imagine

the scale of our country in the 11th century. the prince measured the length of the kerch strait, which divides our crimea, and the bread will turn out to be a message about its length on a stone , merchants and sailors used these data, but he and in his wildest dreams, he could not have imagined that after 800 years his inscription would become a tool of geopolitics of the russian empress catherine ii used the stone to justify the capture of crimea as an original russian territory since those times, russian policy regarding the history of kievan rus has not changed, this is evidenced by the visit of russian president putin to paris, where he named the kyiv prince yaroslav and his daughter anna as russian historical figures, the french public knows the pro-russian anna queen of france, the youngest daughter of our grand duke yaroslav mudrogo was the wife of henry ii and made a significant contribution to the development of france today on the russian president and this idea is worked by powerful

institutions and propaganda in the 17th century when there was no television and the internet, the muscovite kingdom came up with another way to tell the world that they are the only descendants and heirs of the history of kyivan rus, historians oleksandr alfyorov and myroslav voloshchuk brought to our laboratory a copy of the tsar's titular book, this is a collection of images of russian rulers made to order the moscow tsar oleksiy mikhailovich was also placed in it by the princes in kyivan rus, making them look like the tsar, and it was these portraits in the moscow kingdom that were shown to the ambassadors of foreign countries as authentic, all of them must look like the customer. gloomy faces are burdened with power, but they are all painted with the characteristic image of scrooge the prototype of the tsar and they were obviously alexey, that is, they all have the same similarity and that's where the beards are from, those are the features as you say . our gloomy princes wore mustaches, you tried to yourself

allow, but they by no means belong to the bearded party that appeared in the 17th century, even today, three centuries after its creation, the tsarist tattoo artist continues to fulfill his ideological purpose, almost all pages of the russian wikipedia about princes are illustrated with these drawings for our study on recreating the real face of yaroslav the wise historians offer images of princes who did not succumb to falsifications, we have seals in our princes of kievan rus yaroslav the wise and svyatoslav vsevolod found out the seal of volodymyr monomakh i can't believe me honestly, i have never held such a thing in my hands. the fact is that a pishavka is like amber in which an insect has frozen for millions of years, it is unchanged. and the actual uchets give us an incredible number of discoveries, moreover, it should be considered that these are artifacts that these people held in their hands they are filled with a peculiar energy of these people, think that these were really in our hands

, there is no doubt that the title is written on them. it's like on business cards, they have their image on them. if we look at it, we will really be able to understand what is on these seals depict our princes as they were depicted at that time. how old are they? it is 960 years old . this is yaroslav the wise. that's right. the girls are the sons of yaroslav the wise. svyatoslav. yes, yes, that is, today you can see a clear image. that this is not a portrait and this is an image, this is imagination, this is imagination, this is imagination, this is not against the historical one, on which the pseudo-historians are based, finally, the face of grandson yaroslav the wise is ready this is how hleb could have looked svyatoslavovych is about 30 years old in this reconstruction. this is the first in the history of ukraine to reproduce the

skull, which probably belongs to the prince. it was carried out by specialists of the karol marcinkowski medical university in poland. more real images of his descendants third place according to our search plan state, as in chernihiv, at the end of the 40s of the last century, a huge expedition from russia led by archaeologist mykhailo karger came here. they were looking for the foundations of an ancient russian church and found several princely burials. i arranged a meeting with the local archaeologist oleksandr kulibenko to find out whose remains were found the time of the excavations and where they are kept. it was here that the remains of 5

ancient russian princes were discovered, who are known and who died in pereyaslav. the burials were more near this temple and on this plan, which i want to show you here is these burial chambers are clearly visible. and who exactly among the princes is buried here with the two sons of volodymyr monomakh sviatoslav and andriy the good, one of his grandsons, rostyslav yuriyovich, was found with his wife, and in this sarcophagus, no one was found, this is the sarcophagus of andriy the good after it was uh, these bones were taken out of 40. that is, they were taken, look, they were taken, and at this moment, like all other creatures in pereyaslav, there is no reason to take them from here, obviously, this was the practice at that time, uh, in order to conduct additional the research is anthropological material, and

these studies were conducted on, unfortunately, no publications or reports related to the skeletons of these princes, which were not published when they were buried and obviously were not conducted. it turns out that mykhailo karger excavated the most medieval temples on the territory of ukraine he carried out excavations in the main cities of russia, halychi, vyshgorod, boryspil, in volodymyr-volynskyi, and in kyiv, the capital, karger explored sophia of kyiv, st. michael's cathedral and the tithe church, the three most important shrines of ukraine, after him there were empty tombs with no documents about where the remains were transported, how the excavations were carried out, how the research was carried out, also shows that the actual research was not just removing the monuments from the ground and simply taking them to the valley hail only now we realized that in all the cities where we searched for the remains of descendants of yaroslav the wise, excavations were conducted only by russian

archaeologists for ukrainian specialists of this era , every person who would engage in in soviet times, the study of a certain kiev prince and so on propagated about it, because she immediately fell into the category of some bourgeois nationalists and she would have been persecuted by experts in moscow and not the council of these archaeologists, the excavations on the dnieper were the same during which the father of this woman, the archaeologist volodymyr grinchenko, found swords of the kyivan rus era, after these excavations, he was repressed, like most of the participants, we go with ms. svitlana to the restoration center of the ministry of culture , we managed to establish that the sword was recovered from smugglers that the woman saw in the news is located right there. we agreed to meet with restoration artist viktor golub to find out if this sword could be one of the balls from the excavations near the dniproges of my father in the album

there was such a photo such a photo with swords or could it be this sword is exactly one of those photographed here, it is very similar to one of these balls , similar in type and proportions, similar in decoration technique, this ball is decorated with light, and ours, this match, which is currently in restoration, is also decorated like this the technique and the holes are also similar, you can look now under a microscope and see how fine this work is, it's beautiful, a scandinavian braid was recently discovered on this sword , there is also a thread on this sword, but there are differences in the drawing, the drawing is different, do you think that these are different things so it is possible to say with certainty that this is not the same sword, but it is very close and in terms of manufacturing technology, and it may even be possible to assume that from the same workshop viktor golub gives

us a hint of information about the progress of swords it is necessary to search in the funds of the all-ukrainian academy of sciences. ruslan finds here materials about the expedition of volodymyr grinchenko, drawings and accurate sketches of weapons made by himself. but there is no mention in the reports about where these swords went. they got there from kyiv to the dnipro, 8 hours of travel, i didn’t even think of taking svetlana on this trip, she is 80, at that age it is difficult to travel a long distance, but she insisted and said that there is nothing more important to her than the return of her father's story. i myself want to hold them in my hands, considering how many

records your father has left and
