Peter Golubovsky (1881)

Dmytro Bagalij (1881)

Review by Ivan Linnichenko (1883)

Echoes of explosions are heard from the right bank of the Dnieper, but very far away (I am writing on February 26, 2022 at 10:30 a.m.). Yesterday, when the Muscovites broke through to Pechersk, it sounded much louder. "Is there fate or misfortune – and you, Moshka, play…"

In the same year 1857, another Ukrainian historian was born – Ivan Linnichenko (1857 – 1926). He graduated from the same Kyiv University and was a student of the same professor V. B. Antonovych.

In 1883, he published a review of the books of Golubovsky and Bagalij in the "Journal of the Ministry of National Education" [, department of criticism and bibliography, p. 164 – 203]. In it, he praised Golubovsky’s book (pp. 164-169) and gave a very negative assessment of Bagalij’s book (pp. 169-203).

Rafail Zotov (1892)

While the curfew continues in Kyiv (until 8:00 on February 28, 2022) and echoes of explosions are heard from the right bank of the Dnieper (already usual), but very far away – I continue to write (February 27, 2022 at 8:30).

Naval lieutenant colonel Rafail Zotov (1848 – 1893), about whom there is still no biographical information, published his "study" of the Ljubech synodikon in 1892 [Zotov R. V. according to the Ljubech synodikon and about the Chernihiv principality in Tatar times. – Spb.: 1892 – 327 p.].

This book had fatal consequences for the scientific study of the history of Chernihiv region. Absolutely everyone fantasies (without exception!) by R. Z. were accepted by absolutely all later authors (not only amateurs, but also professional historians, starting with M. S. Hrushevsky) in full – without the slightest reservations.

Gennady Vlasiev (1906)

Thunder killed cancer.

A completely peaceful Russian Tu-22 bomber flew over brotherly Belarus and thought to himself: "Why am I carrying this evil load of cruise missiles with me? Shouldn’t we release them to brotherly Kyiv?"

And released. One rocket , and its fragments in the yard of residential buildings in Troeshchyna, 4 cars were burned.

I personally heard a series of three powerful explosions between 9:45 and 10:00 a.m. (this is all on February 27, 2022, and I am writing at 10:30 a.m.) – perhaps one of them was from Troeshchyna.

Troeshchyna is a huge sleeping area in which, by definition, there cannot be anything military. But it doesn’t matter to a high-precision Russian bastard. Well, belarussian "friends" did not give up. They have a referendum there today. I don’t know what question they asked there, but we already have the answer – absolutely clear. I hope that there are street lamps in Minsk on which…

Another official of the Russian Navy, Lieutenant General of the Admiralty Gennady Vlasiev (1844 – 1912) lived longer than Zotov and saw the destruction of the Russian fleet in the war with Japan, in particular, in the Battle of Tsushima (1905). I am sincerely happy for Japan (which these days introduced sanctions against Russia), and for "Death of the squadron", and for Vlasiev personally (because he was the head of the Obukhov plant, where armor, turrets and guns for Russian ships were manufactured) – he too contributed to Japan’s victory.

Having retired in 1905, in 1906 he published a large book "", the first volume of which (in three issues) is dedicated to the Chernihiv princes.
