The true story of the Glynski princes

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

Nowadays, history without ghosts, without cities that have disappeared underground, or at least without secret sources ignored by historians, looks completely fresh and does not excite the appetite.

After weighing this, I decided to add a little pepper in the form of "The Secret History of the Princes Glynski". It was sent to me by a gentleman who works in a very important office in Moscow. (Oh, if I name this office – you still won’t believe that such an important office can exist somewhere!) And this gentleman dug an underground passage under the Neglinnaya River and got into the Kremlin dungeon, where the secret archive is kept. Few people even from the residents of the Kremlin know about it, and historians do not know about it at all.

Of course, the goal of that gentleman was to eavesdrop on what was being said there at the highest levels of Kremlin power, and he, of course, did not inform me about this, but he sent the following text that he found in that archive. And so I had the opportunity to publish this unique and sensational and unknown document, which official historians, not knowing anything about its existence, hid from the people for many years.
