“When was it destined, according to God’s destiny, for our mother, the pious Queen Helena (1) , to move from the earthly kingdom to the heavenly, my brother George and I were left orphans... I was eight years old at that time; and so our subjects achieved the fulfillment of their desires - they received a kingdom without a ruler, but they did not show any concern for us, their sovereigns, while they themselves rushed to wealth and glory and quarreled with each other.

My brother and I began to be raised as strangers or the last poor... How can I count the countless sufferings I endured in my youth? How many times I was not given food on time. What can I say about the parental treasury that I inherited? Everything was stolen in an insidious manner...

When we began to govern our kingdom ourselves, thank God, our management began successfully. But it happened for our sins, due to God's wrath, there was a fire in the reigning city of Moscow (b) , and our traitor-boyars, as if seizing a favorable time for their betrayal, convinced the feeble-minded people that it was as if our mother’s mother, Princess Anna, with her people and servants, took out human hearts and burned Moscow with such witchcraft and that we knew about this plan. We lived then in our village of Vorobyovo, and the same traitors persuaded the people to kill us because we were supposedly hiding Princess Anna from them. How can one not laugh at such an invention?

There was a dog in our yard at that time Alexey Adashev (2) , your boss, even in the days of our youth, I don’t understand how, rose from the bodyguards; We, seeing all these betrayals of the nobles, took him from the dung and equalized him with the nobles, hoping for his faithful service. What honors and riches did we not honor him with, and not only him, but also his family! Then, for advice in spiritual matters and the salvation of my soul, I took priest Sylvester.

Sylvester became friends with Alexei, and they began to consult secretly from us, considering us unreasonable: and so, instead of spiritual matters, they began to discuss worldly affairs, little by little they began to subordinate you, the boyars, to their will, taking you out from under our power, they taught you to contradict You were almost equal to us in honor, and the small children of the boyars were likened to you in honor.

This strong instruction was given in Moscow, the reigning Orthodox city of all Russia, in the year 7072 from the creation of the world, on the 5th day of July.”

A.“You Englishmen, who have not the slightest right to the French kingdom, through me, Joan of the Virgin, the Lord of Heaven declares and orders you to leave your bastiles and return to your homeland. If you do not obey, I will arrange for you such a defeat that they will remember forever. What am I writing to you about for the third and last time and I don’t intend to write more.

Therefore I sign: Jesus, Mary, Joan the Virgin.

Previously, I addressed you in the most courteous manner, but in response you forcibly retained my heralds, you retained my herald of Guyensky. Please send him back to me, and in return I will send to you several of your people we took in the Bastille of Saint-Loup, for not all of them are dead.”

B.“The next day, the twenty-fourth day of the same month of October, the British stormed Tournelles, located at the base of the bridge, due to the fact that they were completely destroyed and defeated by the fire from the cannons and heavy artillery that was fired against them. That’s why it became impossible to defend them, because because of the fire it became impossible to stay there.”

A.“The Polovtsian prince Kobyak, deciding that this was the entire Russian army, returned and began to pursue him. When the Polovtsians, in pursuit, saw the Russian regiments, they began to shoot across the river and tried to get around each other, and this continued for a considerable time. Having learned about this, Svyatoslav and Rurik sent their main forces to help them, and they themselves hastily followed. When the Polovtsians saw the regiments that had come to the rescue, they decided that Svyatoslav and Rurik were with them, and immediately turned back. The Russians, strengthened by God's help, broke through their formation and began to flog and capture them. And so the Lord showed his mercy to Christians, on that day God exalted Svyatoslav and Rurik for their piety.”

B.“Right off the bat, they trampled the filthy Polovtsian regiments and, drying themselves with arrows across the field, rushed the red Polovtsian girls, and with them gold, and pavoloks, and precious oxamites. Ortmas, and Japanese women, and casings began to build bridges through swamps and muddy places - and all sorts of Polovtsian patterns. Black banner, white khirugov, black scarf, silver shavings - to the brave

Svyatoslavlitch!

A good-natured nest is dozing in the Olgovo field. It has flown far! It was not an insult generated either by the falcon, or by the gyrfalcon, or by you, black raven, vile halfling! Gzak runs like a gray wolf, Konchak follows him to rule to the great Don.”
