Old-new US President Donald Trump calls: "Make America great again".
And I can’t understand: when did America stop being great? What are the visible signs that it is no longer great? What are the reasons that it has stopped being great? Is there anyone’s personal or group guilt in this?
Meanwhile, frank and truthful answers (if anyone knows them) should become a diagnosis of the disease (if it is a disease) and the basis for plans in the style of "catch up and overtake" (the one who is great at the moment) (November 14, 2024 at 7:51).
Mr. Derslaw Wlostowski was really called the Podillja starosta (headman) and was really stayed in Podillja [Mykhailovsky V. . Podillja nobility in the second half of the 14th – 70s of the 16th century. – K., 2012, by name index; his biogram: PNV, pp. 601 – 602]. Mykhailovsky dates his tenure as starosta to 1435-1437, Polekhov to 1431-1439 (?).
We are interested in him because of the mention in J. Dlugosz of his "government" in Bratslav.
Ultimately, I imagine this case as follows. After the burning of Bratslav in 1432 and the subsequent end of the armed clashes for Podillja, Prince Fedko Nesvitsky left Bratslav to his fate and moved to Kremenets, where Švitrigaila had imprisoned him, and the Poles had released him (Fedko’s affidavit in favor of King Vladislav III dated September 7, 1434). Stefan of Moldavia, having learned that all power in Pobozhye had finally disappeared, wrote to the new king that he had captured Bratslav and was ready to hand it over to the Poles. The royal government, having received this information, ordered Podillja starosta Derslaw Wlostowski to take over power over Bratslav.
Derslaw, having received the order, decided not to stir up trouble while it was quiet, and did not begin to violate the established de facto border along Murafa (apparently, he did not have the strength for such an expedition).
