8 June 1648 of the year Bogdan Khmelnitsky wrote a letter to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich

40
June 8 is an important day in terms of the unity of Russia and Ukraine. It is on this day in 1648 that hetman Bogdan Khmelnitsky sends a letter to the Moscow Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, informing about the victories of the Zaporozhye Cossacks over the Polish army and that the Zaporozhskaya Sich and the lands under its control wish to join Russia.





The letter was sent from Cherkasy lands and is the most important historical a document to which a certain part of the current Ukrainian “establishment” shows an extremely unhealthy reaction.

Bogdan Khmelnitsky diplomatically calls Alexei Mikhailovich the most inconspicuous and most gracious pan, and the Zaporozhye Cossacks themselves "the lowest servants."

From the document on the decision of the Zemsky Sobor 1653 of the year (the text and spelling are adapted) in response to the letter of Bogdan Khmelnitsky:

Thoughtful people were sentenced to the great sovereign, tsar and grand duke Alexei Mikhailovich of All Russia deigned that hetman Bogdan Khmelnytsky and the whole Zaporizhia Army with their cities and lands to take under their state high hand for the Orthodox Christian faith and the holy churches of God.


The event, which in historiography is called the reunification of Ukraine with Russia, happened 365 years ago - in January 1654. After the reunification, the hetman received from the tsar of Moscow "the seal of the royal majesty of Little Russia (in the original - with one letter" c ") the Zaporozhian troops."

The terms "Ukraine" and "Ukrainians" were not contained either in the letter of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, nor in the response of the Zemsky Sobor, or in the decisions of Pereyaslavska Rada.

      It is difficult for them to explain to their "self-styled" what happened at that time ... A generation of everything has passed since the moment Lyakhov was driven out of Moscow ... And Russia has already become a formidable force against the Commonwealth, and all the Orthodox saw her as a defender!

        When you tell them that they themselves came to us with a bow, the answer is one, like a carbon copy. "This is all propaganda, there is NO such document and NEVER was there"
        No explanations are heard.
        This is a grown generation with a completely reformatted memory. Not only that, and the older generation who studied in the USSR has already been reformatted for the most part.
        Here's what they wrote to me in Odnoklassniki on the same thread where they talked about Odessa
        Irina Abrosimova answered Sergey
        7-8 years ago, crowds were resettled to Odessa from Western Ukraine. Whole faculties accepted students from there. The professors were brought in, filming the locals. Unfortunately, there are a lot of "come in large numbers" there. Someone very long ago calculated that Odessa should be diluted with inadequacies.

        Here from zapadenschiny infection and went. And she went not 7-8 years ago, but at least 30

              You need to head against the wall, maybe then they will understand. I have a grandfather from the Donbass and I often creep in the thought of how good it is that he did not live and does not see what was done to his native land. Not for this, he fought.

    The letter was sent from the Cherkassy lands and is the most important historical document to which a very unhealthy reaction is manifested in a certain part of the current Ukrainian “establishment”.

    An unhealthy reaction usually relates to healthy people.

      "No, brothers, to love like the Russian soul - to love not only with the mind or with something else, but with everything that God has given, whatever is in you, but ... No, no one can love that way!" Said Taras and waved his hand ... I know vilely wound up now on our land: they only think that they should have bread stacks with them, ricks and their horse herds, so that their sealed honey should be intact in the cellars. Adopt the devil knows what kind of Busuman customs; abhor their tongue; he doesn’t want to speak with his own; he sells his own, as they sell the soulless in the trading market. The mercy of another king, and not the king, but the meager mercy of the Polish magnate, who with his yellow forelock hits them in the face, is more dear to them than any brotherhood. But the last bastard, whatever he may be, even though he fell all out in soot and worship, has that, brothers, a grain of Russian feeling. And someday it will wake up, and it will hit, miserable, on the floors with his hands, grab itself by the head, cursing its vile life loudly, ready to atone for the shame with torment. Let them all know what partnership means in the Russian land! Well, for that matter, to die - so none of them will ever die like that! .. Nobody, nobody! .. They don’t have enough of their mouse nature!"

        But I wonder how he would describe today? What colors? What words?
        Or would his heart be broken from a vision of this situation?
        And what would Bohdan Khmelnitsky himself say about this?
        Guess?
        I would say so - to eradicate this evil to the eighth knee.
        And would do.

          "Then the influence of the West was already beginning to appear on the Russian nobility. Many adopted other customs, started up luxury, magnificent servants, falcons, hunters, dinners, courtyards. ......"

          "The power of clever opinions was nothing before the disorder and impudent will of the state magnates, who, with their thoughtlessness, their incomprehensible lack of any foresight, and insignificant pride, turned the Diet into a satire of government."

          Mikhail Staritsky's trilogy "Bohdan Khmelnitsky" (1895-1897) contains the following words - "I gave birth to you, I will kill you." This he speaks of a son, a traitor. So, it would be difficult for him to clean up the scum accumulated in Ukraine, they are there now, like cockroaches.

    RP had a sunset, strengthened by weak centralized power. But Bathory did not succeed, Khmel got that period of greatest weakness after Bathory. Yes, and inter-kingdom.
    In general, the Liberation War greatly undermined the RP and strengthened its rival MC. That's not so much and helping with weapons and money can be won by weakening the main competitor. Yes, after that there was a war - but there was no RP anymore.
    Strategically, the MC won the fight before the fight.
