Stay of Jakhia, 1625
Nicholas Zharkikh
About staying of an impostor Jakhia (Alexander), claimant to the throne of the Ottoman Empire, in Ukraine we have a set of documents (1625 – 1626) from the Moscow archives. These documents are published with an introduction by P. Kulish [Materials for the history of reunion Rus. – Moscow: 1877, v. 1, p. 142 – 286, he took the documents from the General Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs]. We write out these documents only what concerns Terekhtemyriv.
To better understand the context of the emergence of a document I made the most detailed "Chronology of Jakhia's stay in Ukraine", which can be checked.
