i bought such a shop today, all the same, ceramics itself, pokrovskaya here, later, this is a more early skill, but it could be zaporozhian well, but you see nothing like what he saw on the gpr, and somehow i don’t know, i didn’t see it. i didn’t build anything. well, yes the trees were really cut down. yeah, i thought that they cleaned this area very well. they probably destroyed all the houses, all the trees were standing, and maybe it was then that these secrets were found, because you were found here today. maybe there is a solution here. the creation of the kakhovsky reservoir was personally accepted by stalin, he completed what was started by the russian empress catherine ii 200 years before him, a secret order of the empress has reached our days, showing the fury with which she wanted to erase

cossack history when she found out about razumovsky's speech with the zaporozhian cossacks of the hetman . so that the century and the name of the hetmans disappeared. this is how the idea of ​​novorossia arose in belgorod-dniester. ruslan is being waited on by archaeologist ihor sapozhnikov, who claims that novorossia is not just the name of the territory, and a cunning plan was put into practice, moreover, so that we did not even notice by name, that is why i arranged a meeting for you here on the walls of the akkerman fortress, this fortress belonged to the ottoman empire, and the adjacent lands were part of the crimean khanate. the majority of the population here were tatars, turks and the ukrainians who actually do it have a different story about the fact that russia came later

and called it novorossiya. ovydiopol, chornomorsk, hundreds of other cities and towns in the south of ukraine, odessa had other names and a different history , which was erased by order from st. petersburg. year, although we absolutely know for sure, well, first of all, the languages ​​were already there earlier, yes, and the most important thing is that the settlement there is kochubei kotsyubiev and so on from the written source it already existed in 3415 years and shorter the official history of the city, including odesa, now the main symbol of odesa is the potemkinsky stairs about the cossacks. i understand that there is nothing there at all, after all, there is some left and not only on the shore of

this estuary. well, onward to odessa on the cossack seagull ruslan and igor sapozhnikov swim to the other side of the estuary, the archaeologist says that the evidence of the insidious plan of catherine ii to transform the old cossack lands into new russia could be seen by everyone for a long time, but no one even suspected it and only recently scientists were able to decipher it the information that changed everything will make it a cultural shock. well, it is very strong, how would you change the view of history, that is, we were well-known for being blind. actually, we came to these christs, we did not find names or other information about who is buried under them, but the shape of the monuments says more

than any inscriptions, the cossack crosses are precisely the proof that the cossacks were here much earlier and ours are already there. and you don't have such a rich type of cossack heritage. well, you know, there are places where there are monuments and no memory, but here it all got tangled up. well, in the upbringing, they said well, here's everything, just imagine ukraine dotted with such crosses. pay attention when you go on vacation to the sea along the tracks in the middle of the fields, but the cossack history was so carefully hidden what scientists only recently understood do they know that our search

for the mace of bohdan khmelnytskyi continues in podillya, we checked all versions related directly with the hetman, they did not give results, perhaps the relic was handed over to the heir to the youngest son yuri, according to one of the legends, his path ended with the execution in kamianets-podilskyi, the son of the hetman was hanged by tying a rope to the castle bridge, is there any documentary information about those events and can it be found they have at least some mention of the lost mace, this man promised to help in the investigation oleksandr zaremba, head of the kamianets-podilskyi reserve good day good day, the historian says that there is no evidence confirmation of the version about the execution of yuri in kamianka, but in their archives there is another mysterious document from

the khmelnytskyi era, a letter from the turkish sultan, for four centuries, we were told a different story about the cossacks, the truth was not the same, but about harem pants. it is not written here at all, and there is no such word, we were allowed know conductors and all the symbols of the power of the hetmans that proved their independence were stolen from ukraine and hidden in a reliable city, we will go on the trail of a large-scale campaign to seize valuables that has a seal of the same warehouse where today 60 tons of ukrainian relics are kept, this information is completely secret, what secrets of ukrainian treasures will american scientists khmelnytskyi reveal, who will give us the last clue to return the treasures of the nation, our search for bohdan khmelnytskyi's mace

continues in podil, we have checked all versions directly related to hetman, they did not give results, perhaps the relic was handed over to the heir to the youngest son yuri, according to one of the legends , his path ended with execution in kamianets-podilskyi, the son of the hetman was hanged after tying a rope to the castle bridge, are there any documentary records of those events and can we find in them any references to the lost mace? this man promised to help in the investigation . there is no evidence, no confirmation of the version about the execution of yuri in

kamianka, but in their archives there is another mysterious document from the khmelnytskyi era, a letter from the turkish sultan, wow, this is probably one of the most unique exhibits of our museum, as far as i know in ukraine such things are no longer preserved and it looks so bombastic. look at the size of this over a meter in length and almost a meter in width, well, this is the ottoman empire, this is the state, these are people who, even with their documents, in their status in the world at that time, were supposed to demonstrate just fiction, we her we can more or less accurately date it to the period of mahomet iv thanks to this sign at the top of the aga ture of mahomet the fourth, his official signatory, a large amount of information is encrypted in it , including his titles, name, and so on.

the river is incredible, so this signature is covered with real gold. the russian empire at that time was a superpower of a very powerful world level, which in terms of its influence was probably more than the modern united states in the world. in general, the document was in good condition, if you take a friend, it is 300 years old , so it is hidden behind these letters what is hidden behind these words, and this is where the interesting thing begins. the fact is that this language and this writing , whether in the 19th century of the ottoman empire, have changed a lot in our time, these are the only people in the world who can read this letter, therefore, unfortunately, the text is also a mystery to us, we do not know what it is about, the language, you want to say that to this day the content of this document is absolutely unknown, it is a secret of our museum, the content of his letter for many years has not given rest to the local historian several times they sent a photo of the ancient document

to turkologists, but no one was able to read what was encrypted in this ancient ottoman alphabet, but it is known at least to whom this letter was sent, so far we ca n't read it, so we can't say for sure what it is it is possible. i think that specialists from turkey itself can help with this. i contacted the historian oleksandr on wednesday. he is ukrainian, but he has been working in turkey for a long time and is one of the few scientists in the world who knows old ottoman. the historian is extremely interested in the document and wants to try to decipher it. curiosity is fueled by the figure of the author, sultan mehmed iv, one of the most prominent rulers of the ottoman empire, he began to rule his country , while bohdan received the title of hetman khmelnytskyi is another connection of meghmed the fourth

with ukraine, his mother's blood, because trukhan sultan is a ukrainian from podillia, her christian name is nadiya, the last name is unknown to us. family of these cossacks, there is another connection between bohdan khmelnytskyi and mehmed iv, perhaps this letter will reveal facts that we do not know. in search of the heart of his ancestor, gregor came to a dead end, there is no mention of where the relic could have disappeared, as after the opening of the crypt in in 1922, he decided to check information about all the known burials of hetmans and cossack elders and came to unexpected facts just when

razumovsky's grave was opened in ukraine , other cossack burials were being opened, it was clear that there were neither coins nor gold, the people who opened these crypts knew about it in the documents about the opening of the crypt of the cossack family of lyzobov , even the executors are indicated. gregor goes to the town of sedniv, which is in chernihiv oblast, where terrible events took place. here he is met by a local historian. at one time was one of the richest cossack noble families in the entire hetmanship. it was the lyzog family that helped the great-grandfather gregor to become

hetman . there were legends about their influence and fortune. family, they were patriots of ukraine and made a lot of efforts to restore the hetmanship in ukraine. it is absolutely true for a long time about the burial place. no one knew the entrance to the dungeon was under across the wooden floor, you and i get into the same crypt of the family mortuary of lyzolubov, in fact, 44 bodies once rested here, now, as you can see , only one of mine has survived."

one person from a huge family or clan existed for more than three centuries, now it is even impossible to establish who he is and where did the rest of the body go, unfortunately, most of the mummies were taken to anti-religious exhibitions. that's the thing. the bolsheviks used the dead to fight against the church. the undressed body of the landowner lyzoguba, god forbid tried to prove that there is no miracle in mummification, you know that i am looking for things from the burial of my ancestor kirill and, most importantly, a metal chest

with an embalmed heart, you brought this mummy , it was located in the anti-religious town of the kiev-pechersk lavra, it really knows how to keep it there, perhaps the heart of razumovsky was brought there this is an important clue to check the kyiv-pechers lavra in istanbul with a copy of the letter of sultan mehmed iv, this is a unique evidence of the events that took place four centuries ago, and at this time for ukraine, with which most of the original

artifacts are extremely rare. tell everyone turkey is a real storehouse of knowledge yes, it is true here, historians have access to many rare documents but he sees such a unique letter for the first time, you can to understand what is written here, if we start with mehmed he is ibrahim, that is, mehmed eh mehmed is the son of ibrahim , after all, mehmed iv is how you see it. and what about the text itself? can you read what is written here so easily it does not read like a newspaper or like a book, but

let's try the first ones stanzas there must be some kind of name stykhie, that is, here an address to one of the greatest lords of the peoples of the christian faith to the christian ruler yes yes yes here we are here we clearly see a cossack cossack cossack yes yes cossack hetmans cossack hetmans is mentioned cossack yes yes yes, here is clearly written the name that begins with b boudan bohdan bohdan i.e. bohdan e-e and the czech republic it's simple it's simply incredible this letter is still addressed to bohdan khmelnytskyi as well as this part it is the defining message of the sultan it may contain information that will lead us to the trail of the mace even more, even more

intrigue and even more. the secret that is encrypted in this letter, of course, the text needs a more detailed study, but you will be able to translate it. let 's try during the transition alexander wednesday determined the date of sending the letter in 1651, on the eve of the battle of berestechko, according to the official history, we know that the battle was lost to the poles due to the fact that at the last moment the crimean khan, who was an ally of khmelnitsky, left the battlefield together with the army. there was no evidence for this, but the version fit well with the soviet ideology, according to which crimean tatars are traitors and eternal enemies of ukrainians, this is the stereotype that was imposed on us for years and centuries .

asked the crimean khan personally, it is very likely that islam girei could disobey the supreme ruler and leave bohdan khmelnytsky in the battle of berestechko, and it is documents such as this firman to bohdan khmelnytsky that show us our history anew, but at the end of the letter there is information that, according to alexander wednesday, should shock us and he could have the ball in the fourth place, considers bohdan khmelnytskyi as a very close friend, he sends bohdan khmelnytskyi ot everything is quite an expensive thing, not every owner could afford it not every european lord is it about a mace the sultan sends a gold-woven robe robe robe this is the highest manifestation of friendly relations the sultan sends a robe to bohdan

khmelnytskyi and asks to meet with due respect this expensive robe shiny clothes accept and wear it for the ottoman state this is the highest manifestation eh gifting someone at that time was a clue for our searches, but for historians it contains important information that allows us to look at the unknown events of the past in a completely different way in istanbul, the erased files of our history began to be restored and another meeting here confirmed the sultan's letter - this is only the beginning of the sensational discoveries of oleksandr shutko, an orientalist in turkey, she conducts her own investigation, the researcher found a photo of an unusual oriental ornament in one of the kyiv archives and found out that it is the hetman's crown this thing belonged to

bohdan khmelnytskyi. i think that most likely he knows that in all known images of bohdan khmelnytskyi, he is really depicted with with such feathers in the hat, just like the ottoman sultans , they attached these precious pieces of wax to their turbans, and it is this wax that becomes a symbol of power, as it is typical for europeans, like a king, and it is very, very interesting that this very thing belonged to the crown hetman bohdan khmelnytskyi, it turns out that it is an amazingly amazing thing the cossack helmsmen were crowned persons, it's just that these crowns were for the eastern maneuver, and therefore there is no information about them in our historical sources of pure gold. so, there is a ruby ​​here, and it seems to me like pearls, and here it is also a very precious thing and i have not come across the original, where is this thing now?

we can only assume that such pictures were not taken in ukraine at the beginning of the last century. therefore , the treasures of the nation have survived to this day, and we have a chance to find them by getting a clue about the chest with the heart of his ancestor. gregor comes to kiev-pechersk lavra after the bolshevik revolution, the oldest monastery was turned into a museum town, the descendants of the last hetman asked iryna martyniuk, the chief custodian of the lavra funds, e-e the fact is that a lot of documents were lost during of the second world war now we are trying to research and find any information about the funds from old documents in the lavra, only this

album remained in it, photos of objects that were brought to the museum town in the 20s of the last century, crosses, precious headdresses of priests, hundreds of communion cups of other valuable things in the funds of the reserve, they say that most of them are cossack contributions, i.e. gifts of the cossacks to the church, thanks to these things, the identity of the sense of beauty is formed, but the most important for the nation the memory of the people to whom they belonged, this album looks like a part of some larger catalog, but no other volumes have survived, it does not look like a document created by scientists. usually they describe each object in detail, but here only nomenclature

notes, which do not indicate either the origin of the objects or places where they were moved in the preserved tome gregor there is no mention of the chest and the heart, but there is a photo of the hetman’s pen. so the crown of bohdan khmelnytskyi was in the kiev-pechersk lavra but like the chest with the heart kyril razumovsky is no longer here, who and where could have taken the relics, you can't write everything off to the second world war, we are in the catalog we went to the commission for the seizure of church valuables to learn about this not-so-secret organization ruslan arranged to meet with the doctor of historical sciences oleksiy ne stula, who is investigating it activity, and you, as a

researcher of that era, can explain what kind of commission this is, yes, 922, a famine, a huge famine after the civil war under the leadership of the fight against hunger, which really covered the agreed provinces the bolsheviks of ukraine decided to strike a decisive blow in the church and remove church valuables from the house , special commissions were created with the participation of nkvd employees with paramilitary guards, the bolsheviks began to confiscate jewels from churches, museums, estates of wealthy families, and even from ordinary people, they loaded all this into wagons and transported them with paramilitary guards, but if this operation was carried out by the special services, how can we find out where they were taken or if the cysts learned very well to disguise their crimes here but preserved documents, at least tangential documents

that allow us to reproduce the scale of the export of valuables and the main directions, only thanks to the bureaucracy on the railway oleksiy nestulov managed to get closer to the truth, these are goods-transport invoices that the railway issued for the reservation of wagons for the transportation of goods by cargo with personal cargo, important cargo and importance so set and according to the territory covered by the company for the removal of church valuables, all this coincides with these freight invoices. in those days , chaos reigned on the railways, and here they write several dozens of wagons traveling through ukraine on a secret route from kyiv, mykolaiv, kremenchuk, odesa, dnipro, chernihiv, zhytomyr, poltava, vinnytsia, bahmut and even simferopol to the then capital, kharkov

, and they are accumulated by armed guards in kharkov, creating the illusion that these values ​​will go to the rescue of millions of people. why do you always say it is an illusion and because it was not the final destination of these values, the documents testifying to the movement of these values ​​from kharkov to moscow have been preserved. look how many of them you see, dozens of these the information behind the scenes is completely secret. this is a new twist in our investigation. what happened to these valuables in moscow? there was one of our lands in

one ukrainian managed to get there following the export of valuables from ukraine. this is danylo mykhailovych shcherbakivskyi . the archives of the institute of archeology here ruslana is met by the historian iryna khodak , she prepared the documents. jewels from the museums of circuses and crypts, despite fierce resistance, after long negotiations at the highest level, he managed to go to moscow and get into a secret vault, i suggest you look at

one very interesting document, which has the seal of the same vault, the state vault is abbreviated , this institution is called goran danylo shcherbakivskyi recorded in this warehouse - 60 tons of exported ukrainian relics, some of which he managed to return a little more than three percent, 3.3%. 3% 97 remained in that storage, not only did they find out what a lot of things are broken, battered and consist of several parts, but there are documents that testify that the hetman's things do not belong in the temple, the head of the moscow storage e-e gave

an order to break one of the largest relics sent from ukraine, it is about a cross and e-e xvii century - this is exactly the cross that bohdan khmelnytsky presented to the kyiv-pechersk lavra, and there were many things related not only to the name of bohdan khmelnytsky, but also to mazepa and razumovsky , shcherbakivskyi planned to return to the treasury, but he was not allowed to finish his work in moscow in the 27th year, on the evening of june 6, this man who was not afraid of three years of war or the gpu, he went to the bank of the dnieper , tied a stone to his neck and committed suicide, but suicide looks very strange against the background of the fact that he was the only historian and scientist who got into a secret vault and ended his life by suicide, well, unfortunately, this is the case, the relics that managed to
