a mysterious story, what was actually about the fateful agreement between bohdan khmelnytskyi and the tsar of moscow, this information is absolutely true. it will change the whole heart of one person, it can turn the history of an entire nation. oh my god, this is just a fantasy. in contrast to europe, where the history of the rulers is preserved in the sources of architecture and people's memory in ukraine, the name of the last hetman is little known; more people know his brother oleksiy, who was the husband of the russian empress elizaveta, but kirill was also an extraordinary person. at the age of 17, he became the president of the russian academy of sciences, and at

22, hetman of ukraine lives in vienna . i feel ukrainian and i was brought up on the history of my family and my ancestors. i want to show you some photos that we talked about. have you ever seen them? no, this is your great-grandfather's crypt. all the photos are real. they are shocking even cranially on it, it is not easy to look at them it is very personal you know where this casket might be now no guesses so the crypt

was opened without the consent of relatives this was the only clear reason for the exhumation of hetman's body there are many secrets and many things shrouded in mystery casket with the heart of the latter hetman is not just an ancient artifact to the same lead shocks placed the hearts of french and english kings as a sign of the highest honor in britain. the chest and the heart of king richard is one of the most valuable national treasures the ukrainian relic has the same meaning for us. that's why it's so important to find out where it disappeared, the description remains a lot of open questions that i have to answer. gregor checks the family archive to make sure that something didn't pass his

attention before, and in one of the diaries there is a clue that can help find the answer to the question who could take the heart thanks to the memories of the grandfather to whom all the stories in the family were told, i learned that kyrylo razumovsky tried to find the original in the pereyaslav articles, he was looking for the original of the agreement in pereyaslavsk, as well as the relic of the khmelnytskyi mace, why was razumovsky looking for the symbol of power of the founder of the cossack state and the fateful treaty that made ukraine a part of russia for three centuries, what is bohdan khmelnytsky here at all, and can these facts be connected with the disappearance of the heart in austria we got more more questions than answers and we start a new

investigation gregor wants to solve family secrets and find the chest with the heart of the ancestor and our team will follow the footsteps of the last hetman to to search for the explosion of dan khmelnytskyi and restore the erased history, the first step in the investigation of gregor baturyn. this is where the residence of the last hetman and the crypt from where the chest with his heart was removed near the church of the tomb of the historian are met by natalia rebrova , the director of the reserve hetman's capital. this is the scene of the crime in 1927. a group entered the church they threw people over the grave, broke the wooden floor and penetrated into the dungeon of the church, why did they destroy

the grave and who exactly did it, we have the protocol the opening of the crypt, where all these events are described, this is a document of the summer of 1927, the grave of the last hetman was opened by a special commission from the crypt , razumovsky's personal belongings were taken from the crypt, his silver coat of arms, and what was interesting was the biggest holiday from a rough heart in a metal box by the konotop museum of local history, this was the last time that these things they didn't see it in the photos nataliya rebrova tells gregor that local historians conducted their own investigation and found out that the heart was never put on display in the konotop museum, it is not in the funds

the relic was never even listed there, where did all these things from the konotop museum go? we can not trace their fate. everything points to the fact that the konotop museum was a cover for a kidnapping and the trace of the heart was lost. we have a family legend that kirill searched for and collected things related to with bohdan khmelnytskyi, where was he in the crypt, khmelnytskyi's mace none of the eyewitnesses, and there were quite a few of them during the opening of the crypt, they do not remember trying it." if the hetman had a personal jewel

, why was he looking for khmelnytskyi's old mace? we will be able to answer this question if we find an ancient relic, but first of all it is necessary to establish what kind of appearance it had, the historian maksym ostapenko can help with this, we are going to the national art museum, well, the best idea about this unique object is given by those two pictures and actually this portrait 18th century and the icon is probably a contemporary icon from the time of khmelnytskyi, this is an important contemporary image. therefore, there is a high probability that the mace looked exactly like this . well, it seems that it was made of gold. it was there was a whole fortune and er, such a mace, it was

made by craftsmen of the highest level, which er, there were not so many then, so it was gold or gilded, used with precious stones and had a wooden handle made of rare mahogany, it is a symbol of the entire state, it is a symbol of awareness himself as some kind of powerful force of the whole people, this mace differed from the rest of such symbols of power ; under it, bohdan khmelnytsky united the scattered groups of cossacks and crowned in their heads an idea which at that time they could not even realize the idea of of ukraine's own state. please tell me where the head of bohdan khmelnytskyi might be today, where can we start this search? well, it seems to me that we definitely need to search in two directions, and the first of them is that the chaff was hidden by the cossacks somewhere in the subotala area, and the other is a more popular version that

it was exported together with other military trophies already during the ruins to poland, i.e. we have two directions, poland and ukraine. that is how ruslan began to collect information about bohdan khmelnytskyi , he learned that he wanted to write a novel about the hetman mykola gogol himself, but due to unexplained circumstances, the book was never completed except for the first chapter, no one saw the rest of the text in this story, there is an interesting detail, for a certain time gogol worked in st. petersburg in the secret tsarist police, it is an analogue of the modern fsb, he had access to historical documents with a vulture completely secretly and possibly found something really important in them to find out what exactly we came to the family residence of the writer ruslan , kateryna chernova is waiting, the custodian of the stock collection, mykola

gogol began to write roman hetman and even wrote a few chapters. and where are the continuations? the fact is that the novel was not finished. it was planned to write such a large novel in parallel. mykola is already actively working on writing the history of ukraine. he has already allocated the volume. it should have been in four large volumes or six small ones. i just don't at all. knew that gogol was writing history wanted to write the history of ukraine this is new information in our investigation so gogol planned not to write a huge work on history he says i want to write the history of our only poor ukraine and compose something about her what nobody talks about it, but the history of ukraine was not completed backwards , this one was also not embodied, it is very strange, that is, he begins to write hetman’s novel does not finish and

begins to write, you say the history of ukraine and does not finish it either and why sports i want to show you, using the example of the novel taras bulba, how mykola was treated there in russia. taras bulba is one of the most famous works about the cossacks over the years . taras bulba's novel has already been completed and it is fundamentally different from the first one. let 's not go far. they could only arise in the

rough fifteenth century during the right and wrong concept of the land made by those who made what crosswords eh here it is written in the hard fifteenth century on the half-way corner of europe when the whole of south primordial russia was left in its possession by what ukraine belonged to then gogol writes about ukraine and what you don't have here is that in the original about primordial russia, it turns out that ukraine was replaced by primordial russia, these rewritings, these reworkings, in the anchors of impiations in the seventh and in the sixth and in the eighth in the tenth and these are the ones that i personally found and read, let's not read the booklet, the last chapter of taras bulba's farewell to his brother, farewell they are brothers and comrades, i spoke to him from above, remember and but now about me take a look and visit next summer again

a little bit and what do you have i only have a nice walk and here a whole paragraph is inserted about the time will come, the time will come, you will know что такое правостольные русская vera gogol, this is not there, wait, look from the russian land, properties , there will be such lights in the world and such a force that would overpower the russian force, there is no such thing , that is, here, there, there. taras bulba's story after 1835. moreover, what is its general circulation and it is even more difficult to comprehend the number of people who, thanks to little noticeable corrections

, perceived the cossacks at home. meanwhile, gregor continues his search for the chest with a heart, not having received answers from baturin, he wants to find out if there are any documentary confirmation of the connection between razumovsky and khmelnytskyi among archival documents is unremarkable at first glance, a scientific article in it states that in the year when razumovsky became the president of the academy of sciences , a request for the search for originals was sent to the moscow archives of pereyaslav articles, this means that the family legend is not fiction - the hetman was really looking for an agreement, but did he manage to find something, new details appear. i did not know that there were certain official requests

to search for pereyaslav articles, this really shocked me, but gregor finds the connection of razumovsky not only with the articles of pereyaslav and with the mace of khmelnytsky before becoming hetman, kirill went to study abroad. he visited the best university in europe and was in warsaw, where, according to one of the legends, vova was taken as a military trophy i flew to poland in many ukrainian sources it is indeed stated that the mace of khmelnytskyi is kept. it is here in the museum of the polish army that we do not meet the historian yaroslav pykh and the art critic wojcik-potrezhebnytskyi. the artifact was stored in a fund storage, but it was taken out from there especially for us, here was one from our of the collection, which is yours, but it

is completely different, it is not the same as it is drawn, not in icons and in those paintings of bohdan khmelnytskyi. it has a rather modest appearance, but in fact it is made of of noble material dear rhinoceros dear rhinoceros yes yes the symbolism of the movement is the power of power as the spout is actually extraordinary to hold this thing in the hand just like almost 400 years ago and bohdan khmelnytskyi held it in his hands more incredible khmelnytskyy did not hold it in his hands it was not khmelnytskyi you seriously want to say that this mace has nothing to do with bohdan khmelnytskyi, it is ancient, but it is unlikely that it will make bohdan khmelnytskyi fall in love, i can say for sure

that it comes from the first half of the 18th century but in ukraine, all historians believe that the mace of bohdan khmelnytskyi is preserved here in poland. apparently, they adopted our version of the legend throughout the 19th century from the era of romanticism and later in poland it was a tradition to attribute legends to various objects in order to prove to the poles that we have the attributes of the power of these heroes remember them, because thanks to them, we were a great power and have a chance to revive its former power. well, bohdan khmelnytskyi was not a polish hero, on the contrary, he was one of the biggest enemies of the polish state moved was of great importance for polish history, it is about the fact that even with such a strong enemy we managed to fight with dignity, the polish version can be rejected, there is not a single fact that would confirm that khmelnytskyi's mace ever got here at all, it is necessary to check another version of the alleged location of the

ukrainian relics the trail leads to subotiv, where the hetman lived and was buried. there is a version that there were demands to put his grave in the archive. i found photos of the excavations of khmelnytskyi's tomb . placed in the illinsky church, which every ukrainian has seen at least once for 5 hryvnias, there is little information about whether a mace was found in the grave and that the event was recorded in photographs, local historian nadiya kuksa nadiya good day, thank you for meeting with us, i wanted to show you the photos. look at this probable place of burial bohdan khmelnytsky is here in the church, and i was interested in this breach, what do you think about it, members, it was made during archaeological research in 70-73. in this

part of the church, two breaches were discovered, yes, yes. archaeologists believed that they had made underground excavations under the kop from the outside and pulled out the body of bohdan khmelnytsky through these arrangements, the whole of bohdan khmelnytsky, it turns out that the body of bohdan khmelnytsky disappeared from this church, but where is one of the biggest secrets of the stories nadiya kuksa tells about the most common version during the capture by the poles on saturday, they opened the grave they took out khmelnytskyi's ashes and shot them from a cannon, but there is no documentary confirmation of this story , according to another hypothesis, khmelnytskyi's body the cossacks themselves reburied him in order to hide him from the enemies, and perhaps they did it in one of the secret underground passageways. and together with the body, they also hid the hetman's treasures. people believed that somewhere in the underground

passageways, which they called cellars, they said that some kind of casket and a mace were hidden. kleinod a symbol of hetman power mention yes yes that is, you do not rule out what happened in and bohdan khmelnytsky could be somewhere here in this place or under the ground of the rampart near the illina church, people believed that it could be an underground passage, he is there now yes, we can look, every inhabitant of sobotov can tell a dozen legends about underground passageways near the church, but the truth is that no one has ever found them. yeah, here the very hip goes under under so serious so the table is steep 20 meters approximately the first clue that i want to check at all next to it, at a distance of 100 m from the church on the eastern side of the slope, this sinkhole is just so

open, it is worth going down here, because it is quite dangerous. archeologists managed to pass the passage in 1924. the age of the church is not suitable. the cave is filled up, but mrs. nadiya says there is another option in one of the houses near the church. recently, the ground began to subside. galina, are you at home at home? good afternoon, 10 years ago in this yard unusual events took place , which are now reminded only by the slightly uneven ground here, you can see here a drop of 10 centimeters, gas was brought to the house, a trench was dug, but suddenly the ground at the bottom began to sink into the void

, a real funnel appeared, well, centimeters 50-70 km such a hole was a grid in the ground, just a hole aga galina and her son decided to explore the mysterious sinkhole, but the two-meter stick that they lowered inside to measure the depth simply fell into the void well, this means that there is definitely something under your yard, the possibility of truly underground passages you do you think this tunnel can connect your house with the illinsky church of galina's family , several generations have lived in this place and according to family traditions , galina's ancestor was khmelnytskyi's assistant and distributed wages to the cossacks, he was trusted banana khmelnytskyi, and if hmm, someone really made such secret stairs, then it is quite logical that they could go through the estate of that man whom he

trusted to a trusted person. there on the asphalt, please show me something, didn’t you immediately pay attention to it, you can clearly see it, and here it continues an imaginary line to these failures that we talked about, it seems that we have the last puzzle, for sure it comes out like from your car, because when in what is the only general picture, the conclusion is that research needs to be done, if you look from above, there is a crack like a thread connecting halyna's yard and the church where bohdan khmelnytskyi is buried, could this be proof of the existence of a secret tunnel? we need to find special equipment that you can examine this territory and solve the mystery. this story began with the

abduction of the hetman's heart. the photo below is really shocking. it turned out that the most famous page of ukrainian history, the cossack era, was falsified. and the evidence was destroyed to the teacher, ukraine was replaced by primitive russia together with the descendant of the last ukrainian hetman. we began the search for the missing cossack re liquors that can return the history of the crown of bohdan khmelnytskyi. 78 diamonds, what secrets is kept by the flooded sich at the bottom of the kakhovsky reservoir. let's see what the turkish sultan wrote there 400 years ago we will translate the letter on which scientists are working. during the last decades , we can see clearly what the widow-bearing pereyaslav agreement between

ukraine and russia is the reunification of two peoples a fiction, it is true just now we will find out if there is an underground tunnel in subotov with the treasures of bohdan khmelnytskyi in the central historical archive gregor meets olga vovk, she examines old funds and found important documents about the connection of razumovskyi and bohdan khmelnytskyi

in 1758, the project of the national coat of arms was approved, which kyrylo razumovsky wanted to implement on state seals, on which a cossack with a gun and a saber should be depicted, very interesting because the national coat of arms is written here. for us, it is now commonplace. we understand that there is a ukrainian people, that there is a ukrainian nation. the word nation was used for the first time by hetman kyrylo razumovsky. this is the original station wagon of bohdan khmelnytskyi. the seal has the same image. they have small differences, but the basis remained the same . a cossack, a rifle, a saber, and an inscription in a circle, it is very interesting, because the symbols

are the same, this indicates that razumovsky associated himself with khmelnytskyi and his ideas. bohdan khmelnytskyi was a revolutionary, he did everything to to unite the cossacks from different territories into a single force and then into a state, with a risk to himself, he began to do the same, and razumovsky, as soon as he was elected hetman , he made a speech before the cossacks and promised to restore the power of the cossack state, he gave away land for free, the russian empress forbade it to be done and then he began to officially buy land and give it to the cossacks, this is an important step that actually formed the cossack aristocracy , i think it was an effective tool that could unite the country, which was necessary at that time

even the characters of the hetmans coincide in the diaries of bohdan's contemporaries, they also mention him as attentive to everyone, regardless of status, the orthodox patriarch makariy, who was a guest of the hetman, even gave him a bag of coffee, which was extremely expensive at the time. so he was impressed by the good nature of khmelnytskyi, the parallel that is just on the surface between hetman bohdan khmelnytskyi and hetman kirill rozmovsky, it is that they both created the state in subotov, i am trying to verify the legend about the dungeon in which a mace can be hidden khmelnytsky, we involved ruslan khomenko, an expert from the institute of geophysics of the shevchenko national university, ruslana and good afternoon, let me show you a place that is of interest to us, according to local legends, there are a lot of underground passageways here under this temple. i will

tell ruslan all the information that i managed to collect so that he can draw conclusions if you combine all the facts that we saw there in the yard these legends about the underground passage it seems quite interesting if you think that they are perpendicular to the road it is quite interesting maybe maybe if it there is a way, so it is already placed, it needs to be installed for research, a scientist brought from kyiv the latest scientific development electrotomograph from the outside, this device looks like a bunch of wires and electrodes, but in fact, the operation of the electrotomograph is based on scientific discoveries awarded with the nobel prize. to begin with, you need to mark everything on the area every meter you hammer an electrode , the electrodes will pass the current to a depth of 10 m and, as if

hotter than oil, liquefy the ground, then the information will not reach the processing center in the computer through the wires yes, everything is connected and we start it turned on, these points show each point - this is each separate electrode and the signal that comes from it, if there is something there, we will see it for sure. of course, in an hour, the expert analyzed the data from the electrotomograph and is ready to share the information with us, what can be said about this as a result, the cracks were located in the central part of the development, and it is precisely in this place that we see an anomalous effect that shows that from logic
