Putin Can't Get Peace From The Capture Of Moscow By The Ancestors Of Belarusians64.11.2025, 19:06 3,834 Russian dictator laid flowers at the monument to Minin and Pozharsky on Red Square.Russian dictator Vladimir Putin laid flowers at the monument to Kuzma Minin and Dmitri Pozharsky, located on Red Square. This is reported on the website of the Kremlin.The ceremony was attended by representatives of confessions of Russia: the head of the Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill, chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia Ravil Gainutdin, Chief Rabbi of Russia Berl Lazar, head of the Buddhist traditional sangha of Russia XXIV Pandito Hambo Lama Damba Ayusheev and others, as well as members of public and youth organizations.Since 2005, Russia has been celebrating the so-called "Day of People's Unity" with pomp and circumstance. However, even in Russia itself not everyone unequivocally perceives the introduction of this holiday.For example, the famous writer Viktor Erofeev spoke extremely negatively about this "holiday", saying literally the following: "I believe that this is too far-fetched, fake event, the pathos of which by the efforts of the state propaganda machine will be inflated to the triumph of universal greed. In general, I think that it is a big mistake to elevate into the rank of a public holiday rather dubious squabbles of power groups of the Time of Troubles. In place of one false and completely false holiday, I mean the anniversary of the October coup d'état, they invented another one - equally false and false, which serves only one purpose: to continue to stir up enmity and hostility between our peoples.By "our peoples" Erofeev means Russians and Poles, but the Poles themselves consider themselves .... only relatively involved in the events of November 1612. According to the Polish historian Hieronoim Graal: "...what confuses me a little in the presentation of the events of the Time of Troubles is the emphasis on the Polish origin of the invaders. After all, in the army of "Poles", actually ethnic Poles were no more than 30%, the rest were Lithuanians, Byelorussians (Litvins), Ukrainians and Germans. In fact, contemporaries themselves often referred to the invaders as "Litvins". In addition, the militia of Minin and Pozharsky expelled from the Kremlin and Russian boyars, along with the future Tsar Mikhail Romanov, his mother and uncle."And, for example, the bishop-vicar of the Archdiocese of the Mother of God Andrzej Stetskevich does not understand at all what it is that is celebrated in Russia on November 4: "When this holiday was introduced, I often asked my compatriots: "What does the date - 1612 - mean?" Almost no one gave me an answer."It is indeed strange to call it a day of "national unity" when one of them (the Moscow Semiboyarshchina) was a supporter of calling the Polish queen to the throne.Factually, we can talk about the civil war that was going on at that time in Muscovy (Russia) between supporters and opponents of the Polish king and Grand Duke of Lithuania Sigismund III and his son Vladislav. And no more than that. Actually, the fact of accession of foreign dynasty would not be new for Muscovy, in fact the same Rurikovich were called on reigning from Scandinavia, and since the middle of XVIII century Germans ruled the country. And nobody was outraged by it.The militia of Minin and Pozharsky fought not so much for the independence of Russia, as participated in banal squabbles for power between two rival groups. On the side of the other group were the Litvins (Belarusians), who made up more than half of the army of the so-called "invaders".So, the commandant of the Lithuanian garrison in the Kremlin until the summer of 1612, was the Lithuanian Grand Refendar Alexander Korvin-Gonsevsky, who was replaced in this position by Mikolai Strus - Lithuanian (Belarusian) colonel, who commanded the garrison of the Kremlin in the summer-autumn of 1612, ie until its surrender. And, finally, the deblocking group of troops that broke through to help the besieged was commanded by Jan Karol Chodkiewicz, who in 1605-1621 held the position of Grand Hetman of Lithuania.Formally, the Tsar of Moscow, up to 1634, remained the son of Sigismund III - King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, Wladislaw IV Vasa. As early as 1610, he was invited to the kingship by the Moscow boyars and clergy. Vladislav swore allegiance to almost all the inhabitants of Moscow and many other cities. Even minted a coin with his image.Western kings and monarchs did not take seriously the subsequent "accession" Mikhail Romanov. After all, they considered Vladislav IV Vasa to be the legitimate tsar.The Polish king and Grand Duke of Lithuania was the real ruler of most of the Moscow lands at that time. The border was only 100 km away from Moscow, and beyond it there were lands inhabited mainly not by Russians, but by Mordvins, Chuvashs, Udmurts, Bashkirs, Tatars and other peoples.And, finally, it is absolutely unclear why today in Russia is celebrated exactly on November 4? On this day, one of Minin and Pozharsky's militia units captured part of Kitay-gorod's fortifications, forcing the Lithuanians to retreat to the Kremlin. This battle was not "decisive" at all. The battle continued on November 5, and only in the evening of the same day the garrison command signed the surrender. And the opening of the gates and the surrender of the garrison, in general, took place on November 6.It is asked, why today Russian historians and politicians do not say openly that Moscow in 1612 was liberated not so much from the Poles as from the Belarusians? The answer is simple. Because the truthful interpretation of events will destroy the imperial myth about "eternal friendship" of Russian and Belarusian peoples, and about intrigues of "insidious Poles".PATREONSupport the website Write your comment 6 You can support the website Charter97.orgMULTI-CURRENCY ACCOUNT FOR ASSISTANCE:Bank's name: Bank Millennium S.A.Address: ul.
