As usual, I start the working day by watching the news. , , Balaclava, Miskhor, strategic bomber in the Stavropol Territory in Russia (by himself, no one prevented it or helped it in this), on Iran – ordinary, usual news of another world war. Nothing special.
All this would have been wonderful if it had not been for the attack of the Rotten Straw Horde along the Dnieper (no, not along the river, but along the city of Sicheslav). At the moment – already (April 19, 2024 at 7:45 am).
(84) Novgorod Severskyi
Novgorod Severskyi relatively often mentioned in the Hypatian Chronicle.
Undoubtedly a modern city in Chernihiv region (Ukraine). Probability class – A.
(85) Trubchesk
A modern city in the Bryansk region of the Russian Federation. Probability class – A.
In Dnipro (Sicheslav) today , and another 6 – in Synelnikovo, more than 25 wounded. Two children were among the dead.
And Tu-22M, , still shot down (April 19, 2024 at 9:38 am).
(86) Putivl
A modern city in the Konotop district of the Sumy region (Ukraine). Probability class – A.
(87) On the Sem (= Sejm river)
Definition "on Sem» can refer to both the previous Putivl and the next Rylsk. Probability class – A.
And Muscovites continue to say that the Tu-22M fell due to a "technical malfunction". After all, when an anti-aircraft missile hits, technical malfunctions occur in the plane, maybe more than one. The best way to lie is to tell the truth. Only – not the whole truth (April 20, 2024 at 9:00 am).
(88) Rylesk
A modern town in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. Probability class – A.
(89) Kuresk
Undoubted Russian Federation Probability class – A.
All the objects of this small group are mentioned in the annals and are located with certainty. But the correct attribution of towns to rivers cannot be deduced from chronicle references and forces us to assume some separate "hydrographic" source.
Maps
"Siver" group has only 5 objects, all of them are reliably localized. I will repeat that it would be more logical to add Bryansk (81) from the "Hypatian" group to this group, but the scribe of the SRG had his own idea about this, which we did not understand. The optimal route is obvious: 85 → 84 → 86 → 88 → 89 = 326 km. It is plotted on the following diagram with blue arrows.
"Siver" group. Optimal route
To lay the main real route (between class A objects), you just need to look at the list: 84 → 85 → 86 → 88 → 89 = 381 km. It is plotted in the following diagram with red arrows. Entropy-A = 117 %, that is, we have only a slight excess of the optimal length.
"Siver" group. Real route (class A)
The polygon that covers all objects of the group is marked with a black contour on the map. Its diameter (84 – 89) is 204 km. There are no foreign objects in the group.
