Khotmyshl

Nicholas Zharkikh

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

Apart from Putivl itself, from the names of the Putivl group mentioned above, Khotmyshl is easily and indisputably localized: this is the village of Khotmyzk () in the Borysiv district of the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. It really lies on the right bank of the Vorskla River (SRG) 160 km southeast of Putivl. This name is also mentioned in the SGS – without specifying the location.

A review of the literature showed that all researchers agree with the identification of Khotmyzk. Thus, I rightly included it among the reliably localized points. Regarding the following names, we have doubts, disputes and disagreements of everyone with everyone.
