let's say that from one workshop viktor golub gives us a hint, information about muscular progress should be sought in the funds of the all-ukrainian academy of sciences ruslan finds here materials about volodymyr hrinchenko's expedition, drawings and accurate sketches of weapons made by him with his own hands but there is no mention in the reports of where these went swords. we want to check the historical museum in dnipro, which is located not far from the site of excavations. it is possible that the finds got there from kyiv to dnipro. it is an 8- hour drive. svetlana is 80 years old and it is difficult to travel long distances at that age, but she insisted and said that there is nothing more important to her than the return of her father's story, considering how many

of those records your father has left and with what accuracy he made them. i think he is here he loved work very much, yes, these things, well, the business of his life. and he and his mother worked together on this and did everything, and my mother said that all our money went to the kopachiv, they are workers who dig, of course , for their own money, this is how you have to love, how did i finish 10th grade, i told my mother i want to go to the history faculty and my father has left for finishing work and i say i don't see that i have finished work, but she says it's not necessary, it's enough for us alone with a single family , i won't let them go."

because he believed that history cannot be stolen. finally, we arrived at the dnipro museum. the head of the archeology department should meet oleksandr the old man . we have one rare sword in the exhibition, it is known that he was found in the 28th year and it is known that it was found, in fact, the museum employees tell your parents that volodymyr grinchenko found five swords, just one of them a little later, that is why it is not in the photos from svitlana grinchenko's album, god, is this the sword that was found my father

can't be anything else. especially since we also have the year of finding this ball in our records and can i hold it in my hands. of course i can. it's something fantastic. it's interesting that this sword has been preserved. and that's what. well , the whole collection got here to the museum. and where then we could come up with the remaining four, unfortunately, the information is more detailed and we don't have the balls specifically for this one. that is, this is the only sword that remains in our collection, but there may be them somewhere in ukraine, i think so, but it is necessary to conduct research in this museum, we learned about the fact that during the war all the exhibits were evacuated to the east in russia, one of the echelons was bombed in the kharkov region, valuable finds were scattered within a radius of several kilometers , some of them were looted, some were able to collect and hastily take to the nearest museums, this is for us a hint for further searches, our research on

recreating the real face of yaroslav the wise continues. we are going to chernivtsi, the penultimate city according to the search plan, so far we only have one authentic image of the grandson of yaroslav the wise, but there are chances of finding another princely burial, the great ones handed down from the last century in the vicinity of the city found a sarcophagus with signs the burial of the princely dynasty is strange, but the excavations were then allowed to be carried out by a ukrainian archaeologist, which means that the materials were not taken to moscow or st. petersburg in in chernivtsi, they are meeting with the historian mykola ilkivy to find out where they are kept . here, please, is one of the slabs used to cover stone sarcophagi. in this case, its surface has many different signs of the 12th and 13th centuries, including triangles, a cross in a circle, and the most what is interesting in this case are the so-called bicuspids, here you see here and here there is

another second, third, or rather, fourth bicuspid, this sign is very similar to our trident, only these are slightly modified, the video is absolutely correct, because it in fact, there are also hermetic signs of the rurik dynasty in the same chain. ukrainian archaeologists recently found out that this sign was characteristic of the princes of terebovlyansky land, which later became part of halytskyi. we can assume that one of the sons of prince vasylko terebovlyanskyi was buried in the sarcophagus under this slab, obviously ihor ivan a, in which he is related to yaroslav the wise, is this knee, well, at least 3-4 generations, the very machines that were under this plate, uh, this information is unknown to me, the remains of which were discovered during research and examined by famous anthropologists. it is known that these were from

anthropologists. this is a famous soviet anthropologist of giants. she conducted an anthropological study of these remains. where is she from ? to solve the mystery connected with his face, but hopes were in vain as soon as it became known that the prince's burial was found near chernivtsi, they immediately sent a person there from moscow and the remains disappeared without a trace, we surveyed for four months and everywhere the same thing since the 19th century russian archaeologists discovered the burials of the princes of kievan rus and we did not find a single document for this period that would indicate where exactly the remains of our rulers were moved, it seems that they never existed, that is why we had to turn to a person who has

specific skills, this is valery gastinchikov, nicknamed a military intelligence officer who was engaged in the study of informational and psychological operations in he has access to a huge number of closed archives. during this investigation, we provided him with all the information we found in the excavation sites, but we did not even expect what he would be able to find. at first, when i started working in the archives, i thought that this matter would be done very quickly, but then it started unbelievable. this was our wrong tangle, which i began to untangle from the very beginning and until the very end. valeriy the innkeeper managed to trace the activities of the st. finds from the excavations in volodymyr-volynsky, where we were looking for the remains of prince vasilkovich, at the very beginning it turned out that this brotherhood had a patron at the imperial court in st. petersburg, his name was konstantin kostiantynovich, this is a very influential person,

obviously, because here it is written that you are the president of the imperial academy of sciences, he named already high, very influential people were apart from the official position kostiantynovych was a member of a very specific organization of the imperial orthodox palestinian society according to the charter of this structure helped russian pilgrims to reach the holy land, but she also had another task that was kept secret. the imperial orthodox palestinian society is nothing but the secret society . there is a very narrow circle of people who are close to the government, and the other layer is a cover that sometimes people do not even know what they are doing, it was in 1882,

at that time, russia was actively promoting the topic of russian myra, trying to prove that all this territory belongs first of all to the russian empire and all these traditions, all historical facts, all cultural facts belong to russia itself. how strange that this society found its place already in soviet history. that is, you want to say that this society survived the revolution, it not only survived the revolution, she settled in there very well. for example, in the academy of sciences of the ussr there was a structure like a russian but stylistic society, that is, the same structure, but it has already been renamed in the russian style, but how can it be to be well, we know from history that all the people, all the organizations that were connected there with the tsar and the monarchy before the revolution, not after the revolution, were either repressed or shot already by the bolshevik authorities, here probably lies the main question , there remained those people who knew such secrets that were

over needed by the authorities valery gostinchikov believes that these secrets could be related to falsifications of history, facts and findings that needed to be hidden. i would especially like to show you two very interesting photos, one of them is boris rybakov and friend mikhail karvin, these are people from our list, during the investigation, we followed the traces of their excavations , boris rybakov, an archaeologist who dug in chernihiv , carger in pereyaslav, rybakov and karger were imprisoned directly with the soviet academy of sciences, it was sold that there was something strange, one works in moscow, the other works in leningrad, they are ordinary researchers of institutes of which there were thousands, but for some reason after that these two outstanding

persons left moscow, left leningrad, went to the territory of ukraine, conducted excavations in the most to our outstanding historical monuments, after that they return. and what do you think? they receive the highest state awards, stalin awards. please tell me whether a simple archaeologist, even a prominent one, can receive the stalin award for some kind of excavation in ukraine . another scientist received the stalin award and with whom worked rybakov and the officers of the regimental center, mykhailo gerasimov, the author of the bust of yaroslav the wise, these people could not have known that they were part of a secret plan, this is stalin, do you think he was also connected with the orthodox yes, i did not see his handwritten signature that he is a member of a secret society, but um, relying on my

own experience, i can say that all these secret societies have very, very influential leaders who reach the very top to the highest sacred authorities, what happened after the collapse of the soviet union. i understand that this organization ceased to exist. i would like to believe it, but it is not so. you want to say that two centuries have passed and they still exist. at the moment, this organization is headed by none other than a very famous person in russia. stepashin is a general who at one time worked in the highest positions, then he worked in the federal security service serhii stepashin was the director of the fsb, the minister of internal affairs and even the prime minister of russia for 13 years he managed the most powerful russian structure and the accounting chamber that controls the cash flows of all state institutions is such an interesting combination in russia,

when one closed structure of the special services or the armed forces is combined with another not very open structure, it is called the russian orthodox church, so this tandem is exactly what continue the ideas of this society and they really belong to the leadership of this organization today. they really belong to the leadership of this organization. what did you manage to dig up? they were hidden for two centuries. this is only what i managed to dig up. light, it is possible that what valery gostinchikov voiced is just a coincidence and there is no conspiracy, but the facts that we managed to find finally reveal the secret of the disappearance of the princely tails from ukraine. we got access to the catalogers

of the research institute of anthropology at moscow state university, it turns out that in moscow there is one of the largest bone repositories in the world, according to the list, there are 246 skulls of the kyivan rus' era exported from ukraine, 25 ancient cities and towns, the remains came to the repository for 111 years, skulls were taken out by the hundreds from pereyaslav 15 from kyiv 32 from vasilev 16 and from chernihiv 42 russia is such a country that takes extraordinary care of other people's things and then keeps them for a long time with strict secrets we started official correspondence with the moscow institution regarding requests. we asked for access to the bones for the purpose of research, but each time we were refused, the last time allegedly due to repairs in the storage. when it became clear that there would be no access, they asked for an interview to explain to us exactly whose remains

are stored there and is there knyazumskoe among them, but the moscow scientists refused us, i am flying to moscow to try to get to the repository and agree on the study of the remains at the site of the building of the institute of anthropology at the moscow the state university is located in the center of the russian capital, opposite the kremlin, a few steps from the new monument to vladimir the great , an old building behind a high fence, it is not known how our visit will end, so just in case, i put on a camera for active filming, we try to enter this institution, but the security does not let us in further the door here is a young man from ukraine about some excavations there and to give them a confirmation whether or not they received a request , the management of this institution did not expect that we when we arrive, there is no one, no matter how much we want to get to the

storage facility, which is guarded, we cannot get into it without the permission of the management of the institution. in the end, we manage to talk with a researcher of the institute. you say, write us such a request , we write, you say, write a request for a gardener, we write, we get answers, but the reasons why we can't even record an interview with you understand , you always have some kind of celebration for repairs, etc. something is happening, we got the impression that they simply do not want to communicate with us, we simply did not understand the reason, what is the mystery associated with these remains, she says that our requests have already been repeatedly discussed at all meetings, that it is unethical to directly remove these remains, and today such a moment is behind the machines

scientists are working, this is not unethical, they are working, but they are not making a film about these remains, we will not get into the middle of it. i realized that they will never reveal the truth to us about whose remains are buried there, the only burial of our prince what to me it can be found in moscow, it is located in the archangel cathedral in the heart of the kremlin, the remains of the prince of chernihiv mykhailo vsevolodovich are kept here, you can guess why the prince of chernihiv moved to belokamyana, what made him spend the last days of his life here and why he did not want to return to his native chernihiv, but there is one a historical fact, the move of our prince took place against his will 350 years after his death in the 16th century, moscow troops first captured chernihiv and the first thing they did was search for the burial of prince mykhailo and they took the remains to moscow, why exactly is he mykhailo

of chernihiv revered in our lands as a prince who paid with his life for refusing to bow to the mongol khan to the moscow tsars, the remains of our prince and his heroic history were needed to prove that he was their ancestor and distance himself from his true past and close ties ties with the mongol hordes, the cancer with the relics of the prince of chernihiv stands surrounded by the burials of the tsars, it seems that the history of kyivan rus' was chained to the history of russia in moscow, i am arranging an interview with yevgeny spitsen historian and author of a five-volume history of russia. i want to find out why the remains taken from ukraine are hidden from us and whether it is possible to return them home. some remains were indeed taken to moscow, but only so that in the laboratory of professor gerasimov, a well-known anthropologist , the founder of this famous method restoration of the image of ancient people by the bones, primarily by

their skulls well, a portrait of yaroslav the wise was also installed during the interview evgeny spitsyn created the impression of a calm person but as soon as i started to provide more facts about the disappearance of the bones, his mood changed, why add some sacred meaning to it, my god, but they are now in the kremlin in the archangel cathedral, i am asking you, i do not have them there, i am already in the archangel cathedral, i am a native muscovite my ancestors live in moscow since the 15th century, russia cannot exist without this history of kievan rus. and to whom should we give this history , i did not understand at all, this is our history, it is to whom we should give it, something is not quite right when people start to be excited by such things the muscovites the bastards seized the bones of our ancestors and without the possibility to return them back to restore how they looked, etc., the damn muscovites, the pillowcases

got away and then everything ignites. well, let's shoot each other, blow something up, leave bombs. maybe that's why we know so well about peter the great, ivan the terrible, oleksandr of catherine ii of nevsky and other persons who have nothing to do with the history of ukraine and almost nothing about those who built our state a thousand years ago but accordingly you get gaps and you will not know these gaps, you will definitely have some neighboring voices that will tell you what was wrong and how it really was. we continue our

research to find out what yaroslav the wise really looked like and for this we need the remains one more descendant remains, the last place that needs to be checked lutsk, this city was founded in the times of kyivan rus, it is known throughout the country thanks to the lubart castle depicted on 200 hryvnias and bills, but few people know that in the middle of the fortress there is an underground an ancient church remains, its excavations were carried out at the end of the 80s, to find out more i am arranging a meeting with the deputy director of the reserve, archeologist victor boyuk, announcer good day good day i was interested in the excavations that were conducted here 30 years ago, there is very little information about them, were any burials found then yes indeed, a very significant burial was found in the churches of the theologian, we will go down. i will tell you about it now. and tell me what actually caused your interest in this burial, we are trying to find the machines of relatives of yaroslav the wise in order to

try to reproduce his appearance with you , we are wondering if there could be a person from this burial of the prince or if they could take samples for our research from the tomb. so we will now go down to the temple and try to take samples, but in our opinion the burial belongs to to the princely person of the princely family oh, it's cold here, you and i went down to the volyn shrine to the remains of the cathedral church of ivan the theologian, which was built in lutsk in ancient russian times in the 19th century, but you can still see candles sometimes we hold a church service here, because it is old, but still, what did you say there, the 12th century ? that is, it has been independent for almost a thousand years already. but this is the original wall of the ancient russian times and for almost 1000 years, the pillars under the dome have been preserved, only the altar of the apse and all the elements of the ancient places have been preserved. the burial itself was found, the burial was found in the most prominent place - this is a replacement of a

part in general forward. this slab is the original slab of the ancient russian time that covered the tomb itself, the tomb with the buried and it lies here with at that time, it was already a thousand years ago, were there any signs found on it, it would be very interesting to find a sign here, especially the princely two-faced trident, it would be an extremely great discovery, but unfortunately there are no signs on it. during these last 30 years, someone discovered this production e no. we will probably be the first to try to do it here, and it is not known theoretically whether there are any bones there at all, you know, but i see only one bone there, there is nothing left, but it is difficult to look very closely. it is dark and quite a deep tomb. let's try to raise the plate less, maybe we will succeed in order to get inside or the awareness of part of the history of awareness and modernity, awareness of the past, what kind of

smell do you feel? you can see, man, it's quite big. yes, let 's try to go down there, it's very scary, simple. i 've never gone down into a tomb before, when you didn't go down , well, it's a common thing for archaeologists. how do you feel? very eerily careful to accept him carrying out these works will allow us to reveal

an extremely important secret who was this man what kind of man was he in what tribe if you want there is no lower jaw look maybe it is somewhere near the skull i see here some large bones but nothing like a jaw it in general, it is a very unique thing and it is very fortunate that this burial has been preserved. it was such a tradition in soviet times. all the most important finds, especially those of the princely rank, are undoubtedly either the armitage or some moscow museums. that is, without a doubt he would have been taken away in 1988. social processes are already very active. the soviet state is actually collapsing. it actually cannot exist. there was nothing for people to eat in

the shops. some description, let's approach the report, let's try to find out this issue, the jaw is necessary for the reconstruction of the face of this prince without it, it will be difficult to reproduce the appearance, everything is stored here, from there, the administration of the reserve, and here is a report from 1988, when it was the burial was found and there is a photo here, yes, i see photos, there are photos, a photo, the moment of the opening of the burial and the slab that you and i went down, you can’t see here, all the bones are still in place, this rap and all the funds here were completely saved at the time of its opening, this is actually so what exactly the skull itself, the skull is completely intact, and the most important thing is the lower jaw, so it is very difficult to answer the question where did part of the burial go, and our

version is still the same during the construction work, when the pavilion covering over the temple was actually connected it is possible that the workers damaged it in some way and moved it to some other part of the premises to whom these remains might belong. i went to see an anthropologist and a nepotechina who can help identify the skull. archaeologists miss the fact that this skull is a prince's, it was found in a prince's burial, but we need to clearly establish who this person could be, and here we can immediately say, judging by the fact that it is such a massive large skull. he has very strong brow ridges. can we establish his age? we can see that the teeth in he is quite worn out, especially the river and the paintings , well, you are talking about the fact that from the inside we can see that you are already closed, well, i think

that we can generally say based on these two signs that he was somewhere between 35-45 years old, here is another one an interesting detail, an interesting feature that i noticed here, under the left mastoid condyle, a small hole is visible, which from the outside of the bone is painted with some description of metal like a stain. so you see, and since from the size and shape of this hole, we can assume that it was an entrance hole from an arrow that this person was obviously an arrow and this could be the cause of death, there are no signs of healing, it could certainly be the cause of death, because very important vessels pass here, a computer tomography will allow us to simulate the exact circumstances of this man's death. we will also be able to reproduce his face and get closer to the main solution of our investigation, exactly looked like yaroslav the wise but

first it is necessary to establish the name of the prince or the remains , we searched in lutsk for everything we have about this age and information about injuries. a few days ago, i asked him to look in old sources for information about burials in lubarta castle good day good day what have you managed to find so far archaeological data only allow us to talk about the first half of the 13th century but how about some additional anthropological research then we could clarify a few days ago, an anthropologist and i were just examining this skull. i have a photo, look, see this place. our expert claims that it was an arrow wound and possibly fatal. well, considering the contours of the wound, it was armor-piercing arrow four-sided near the arrow that penetrated deeply and what can the

armor-piercing arrow testify to this important fact that allows us to clarify that it is obvious that the buried man took part in the battle, but we know that most of the lords of the lutsk hodiva and members of their families died in such a way of the great battles in which they could participate, it could be either the battle on kalka or the period of the campaign of khan batya, as during the campaign of khan batya, volyn would be devastated and there were no conditions for burying the prince behind all rites, how solemn it was. therefore, we only have the battle on kalka. and there is information about who died during this battle, then one of the sons of ingory yaroslavovych, the lords of lutsk at that time, died, and it is likely that it was his turn
