Sokilets / Sokal

Nicholas Zharkikh

Shortened text of the section. Full text in ukrainian version.

Our commentators : "Europe should thank us for protection from morning to night, from night to morning."

And Europe is giving thanks as best it can: in Poland, Slovakia and Romania, the border with Ukraine is being blocked, in France, and then in Bulgaria, there are voices in favor of restricting the export of agricultural products from Ukraine, and yesterday (January 28, 2024, on Sunday), as if on command from Moscow, and representatives of some political parties put forward territorial claims to Ukraine.

Although why "as if"? Not "as if on command", but simply on command from Moscow, regardless of the day off! (Monday, January 29, 2024 at 7:45 am).

This name (No. 26) forms a stable pair with Zvenygorod (No. 27), which can be traced from 1472 to 1574. Also, from 1507 to 1532, a stable trio of names Bratslav – Sokal – Zvenygorod can be traced.

Conclusion: if it was mentioned somewhere in the early jarlyks of Sokilets on the Bog, such a text has not reached us. The scribes of those texts that have actually reached us were thinking about Sokal in Galicia and / or about Skala-Podilska with its district ("tma").
