Shortened text of the section. Full text in ukrainian version.
Rotten-straw anti-Dührings continue to bombard the territory of Ukraine, as a result of which in Kyiv my water, heating, electricity, Internet connection, or some combination of the above disappear time to time.
And now I will write this section until the light disappears or it will be time to go in search of bread, because due to power outages, not all shops are open.
But what do these minor inconveniences mean in comparison with what our soldiers on the front lines feel, who are already spending the ninth winter in the trenches!
I am obliged to take advantage of the opportunity that our valiant army gives me and to continue my work (December 21, 2022 at 8:50 am).
So, the oldest and most valuable for us jarlyk was issued by the Crimean Khan Haji-Girey sometime in 1461..1463. The variation in dating is minor and irrelevant to my narrow topic – the structure of the list of names – so I will refer to it as the 1461 jarlyk. It contains 19 of the 37 undisputed names (50%), to which I added Mosalsk (Mychalsko, 49-1461).
The map scheme of these names looks like this:
Map scheme of the jarlyk of 1461
The numbers of objects on the map correspond to the numbers of my comparative table. The arrows reflect the sequence of the transition in the list, the dotted line shows the transition to Ryazan, the place where Tula is mentioned for the second time in the text (probably a typo).
The most obvious feature that appears on the map scheme is the constant jumps in the list with the subsequent return, and geographically close objects are spread in the list to distant, non-contiguous positions.
