The war, in which our valiant army destroys 2-2.5 battalions of Muscovites every day, is felt in Kyiv only by the wailing of air raid sirens and widespread power outages.
I don’t pay attention to the air raid sirens – there’s nowhere to hide anyway, and the brick walls of the house partially protect against shrapnel (but, fortunately, in my case "no one has tested this yet", as the classic says).
Power outages disrupt my work rhythm, but, strangely enough, they bring peace. If I used to rest in between work, just lying on the couch, now – during power outages – I lie with a sense of my own importance, in this way I help my homeland.
Once again: these outages don’t let me forget that there is a war going on, and I can’t waste my time, paid for with the blood of our heroes. I have to continue my work (November 3, 2022 at 8:50 AM).

Furs’s rewards (1486 – 1488)
Rewards to the landowners from Pobozhye
Overall, from these awards, we can conclude that Pobozhye at this time did not have its own sources of income from which the Grand Duke could give awards. Instead, Pobozhye received “humanitarian aid” from Volhynia and Kyiv region.
