And I have bad news for those who want to make America (or any other country) great again.
I know of only one relatively reliable way to achieve this: one must win a world war. Not a local war against Grenada or Kuwait, but a world war.
Of course, it is not worth starting a world war yourself just to catch up and overtake someone there, but if such a war is already underway (as in our case), then one must not close his eyes and try to appease the aggressor. One must clearly declare: we will defeat the aggressor and show the whole world that wars cannot be started without our permission.
Just don’t tell Trump anything, please (November 15, 2024 at 8:11).
Modern Polish researcher Marian Wolski compiled a useful guide to the officials of Volhynia [ XV–XVIII wieku: spisy. – Kórnik: 2007. – 189 s.] There, in the section “Kremenets headmen” on p. 60 we read: “Ivashko Monyvydovych, Starosta of Bratslav 1437 – 1438”.
Is that really true?
The assumption must be rejected and the original documents must be retained: just as Švitrigaila was the “Grand Duke of Lithuania,” so his Monyvyd was the “Starosta of Podillja.” Both enjoyed the beautiful appearance of their titles in writing, but had no real power.
What kind of Monyvyd was this and did it have any relation to the "real" , which was last mentioned in 1422 – I don’t know, I don’t intend to delve into this matter.
