Read about the city of Izyaslav and its coat of arms. Panorama Izyaslav (city)



great city Izyaslav, the first capital of the Volyn Province, one of ancient cities Khmelnitsky region and Ukraine, has been known since 988. The city in the north of the Khmelnytsky region, in the so-called Shepetovsky District, is known for its cultural monuments of national importance, which fall into decay from year to year, as well as the monastery in which there is now a prison .The main residence of the Sangushki, the place where there were such great people as Peter the Great, Alexander the Third and others. Previously, a significant city at the end of the 19th century numbered more than 20 thousand people, developed infrastructure and numerous architectural monuments, was one of the richest cities in the Volyn province , but when they built a railway line, instead of making it a large railway junction, they made Shepetovka, and from that time the decline of the city began. After the murder of Sangushka, the city began to wither, the palaces were destroyed, the churches were demolished, the churches were all robbed, and so it was Izyaslav met the 20s, naked and poor, after the revolution there was a famine that killed half the population, and then a war with racial purges. In Soviet times, the city rose noticeably, especially in military and industrial terms. In the nineties, decline came to the city again, all military and enterprises closed, the population began to flee the city in search of work and new housing.
Currently, the city has brightened up a little, improvement has improved, some industrial enterprises have resumed their work. But still the city is in depression, it is one of the most underrated cities, and with its potential and today’s depression, the city can safely be called one of the worst cities in Khmelnytskyi area in mind The fact that neither the recreational nor the tourist potential is being used, the destroyed military units, architectural monuments and the presence of two prisons in the city add more tar, the city is in stagnation.
Located on the Goryn River.

Interesting anthropological materials from the times of the Tatar-Mongol invasion. The political-ideological framework is somewhat surprising, immediately casting doubt on the presented materials (however, it can be ignored), as well as the unvaried interpretation of some archaeological artifacts, for example, those widespread in the second millennium AD. so-called cutting.
Original taken from sinn_fein in News of archeology, Eurasianism and a unified history textbook

This is the skull of a Russian warrior, recently found in Vladimir during the opening of a sanitary burial from the time of the Mongol invasion. Three injuries are visible on the skull, two not fatal, the first from an arrow, the second from a saber, and only the last, fatal to the temple from a mace. The warrior, bleeding, fought to the last...

However, the data of the latest archaeological discoveries are unlikely to fall into Putin’s “unified history textbook”, in which the very concepts of “Tatar-Mongol yoke” and “Tatar-Mongol invasion” are bashfully replaced by a harmless herbivorous “system of dependence of Russian lands on the Horde khans.” And this despite the fact that the phrase “Tatar yoke” first appeared in 1660 (in “The Tale of the Massacre of Mamaev”). However, ideological expediency once again prevailed over common sense and historical truth. I really don’t want the authorities and their Eurasian minions to admit that the Russians fought with the Tatars, who outnumbered the Russians, essentially one on one, without allies. So, apparently, they decided not to offend modern Tatars (descendants of the Volga Bulgars) and Central Asian guest workers. The Eurasians and Fomenko applaud. Finally, their phantasmagoria about the union of Rus' and the Horde, denial of the fact of the invasion and the subsequent Tatar-Mongol yoke were accepted as the official historical doctrine. As for the truth, they don't care.
Well. Let's return to reality, however. But the reality is this: in the last few years, several so-called sanitary burials from the times of Batu’s “Western” campaign against Rus' have been discovered, which colorfully demonstrate what kind of “union” it was. But first, for starters, a quote from Lev Nikolaevich Gumilyov (“What times are we living in”):

Uglich did not resist the Tatars. The entire population hid in the forest, with the exception of the merchants, who were sorry to abandon their property and who entered into an agreement with the Tatars to pay a small indemnity in horses and food in exchange for napaizu, a letter of safe conduct from the Tatars. So Uglich survived, and it was not the only one, Kostroma, Tver, Yaroslavl - all the cities along the Volga survived precisely because they made peace with the Tatars and Mongols.What a conquest! What kind of yoke is there -it wasn't there!
We will return to Yaroslavl later. So,

Vladimir

In the summer of 2011, employees of the Vladimir Regional Center for Archeology at VlSU conducted research at the construction site on the street. Zlatovratsky 1. For the first time, a mass burial of a large number of people, with a high degree of probability, died as a result of the siege of the city by the Mongol-Tatars in February 1238, was discovered.
The burial took place in a utility pit in the courtyard of an ancient Russian estate, which was burned during the capture of the city. This is evidenced by the large number of elements of burnt wooden structures and grain also found in this pit.
The total number of buried is at least 50 people. Of these, at least 36 are adults, aged 20-25 - 40-50 years. 13 - children and adolescents (28% of the total number of those buried), from newborns (up to 3 months) to children 11-12 years old.1 - teenager aged 12-15 years. Injuries in children are comparable in nature to those in adults, but the only type of injury is skull fractures. Almost all children's skulls are in a fragmented state.
The gender composition is noteworthy: the number of men is slightly larger (53%) than the number of women (47%), which indirectly confirms the absence of enemies in the burial, since it approximately corresponds to the usual proportion of the sexes of the Russian Gord. A special feature of this burial is the almost complete absence of elderly people, which distinguishes this burial from the so-called “paleontological” (mound) burials. Analysis of the data obtained allows us to conclude that in the presented sample the ratio of adult and child components was also quite typical for Vladimir at that time.

skull of a Slavic woman, 30-40 years old, overtaken and killed by a horseman from behind (chopped wound).

It should be noted that this burial is characterized by a very high percentage of injuries incompatible with life. The nature of the injuries allows us to unambiguously interpret them as resulting from an attack by a detachment of armed horsemen.
All injuries can be divided into 2 large groups: chopped and stabbed, caused by sharp objects, and fractures of the skull bones caused by a heavy blunt object. In men, chopped wounds predominate, in women and children, wounds with a heavy blunt object. The traumatic object was small in diameter (about 5-6 cm), but large destructive force, apparently heavy, which caused a through fracture of the skull bones (presumably a mace or club).
The remains of a warrior of the Slavic anthropological type were discovered, who, in addition to a chopped blow (with a saber), which did not become fatal, had a non-fatal wound inflicted by a small pointed object (arrow), as well as a fatal fracture of the skull bones in the temporal region, the skull as a result of the blow was destroyed to eyeball (see photos above and below). The number and nature of the warrior’s injuries proves the desperate resilience, tenacity and heroism of the city’s defenders. The residents seemed to understand that they were doomed, but did not give up, saving their lives.

Many of those buried on the skulls had 2 injuries at once, each of which could be fatal. This situation is possible if “finishing off” the victim was practiced.
In children, the only type of injury in the Vladimir burial was fractures of the skull bones.


Thus, it is possible to reconstruct the tragic events, the consequence of which was the emergence of a mass one-time burial for sanitary purposes. Obviously, there was an attack by a well-armed detachment of horsemen (the wounds were inflicted from above), whose task was the total extermination of the population.
All remains belong to the Slavic anthropological type, characteristic of the urban population of Vladimir.
Apparently, part of the burial was damaged and accidentally destroyed during the construction of a residential building in the 60s.
The Mongolian version of the attack is confirmed (among other things) by the finds of a large number of unique arrowheads (fork-arrows), used only by the steppe people. And also the appearance of signs of the presence of Tatars in a cultural layer later in chronology (see below, the estate on Gagarin Street)

Mongolian arrow "fork"

The city desperately resisted, but was doomed, since the main forces (the squad) were pulled together by Prince Yuri Vsevolodovich of Vladimir to the Sit River for the decisive battle, which took place on March 4, 1238 and was lost by the Russians.

Tatar presence in conquered lands (Vladimir)

In 2005, in Vladimir, in the area of ​​Gagarin Street, no. 2, the above group of Vladimir archaeologists discovered a burnt Tatar estate, indicating the presence of a rich Tatar family (apparently, a governor). The estate was built in the most “prestigious” area of ​​Vladimir for that time (the largest number of treasures were found in this area). According to archaeologists, this is a “Vladimir ruble coin from the 14th century.” Based on the nature of the finds, it can be said with a great degree of confidence that a Horde Tatar lived in the estate, since the items found were never used by the Russians and the Russians did not trade them. Items found include:
1) fragment of a glass goblet made in Syria (Aleppo, XIII-XIV centuries) in the Mamluk style

2) a fragment of a flask with an embossed ornament in the shape of a “kalype”, made in Khorezm ( XIV century ), common in Central Asia and Eastern countries

3) a bowl or dish made of “Jun-Yao” ceramics, China XII-XIII (the first finds of such dishes in Eastern Europe)

4) faience (Kashin ceramics with opaque glaze) of the “Minai” type (Iran, XIII-XIV century ) with Arabic script and semi-faience (cashin ceramics with transparent glaze), produced in the Middle East(XIII-XIV century) , luster semi-faience with kashin painting(XIII-XIV century).

Kashin ceramics are a unique “marker” of the Horde (Tatar-Mongols), since it always accompanies their (and only their) presence. This type of ceramics was highly valued during the period under study in the Horde, and rich Tatars brought/took it with them throughout their entire migration and settlement.

Yaroslavl

Now let's return to Yaroslavl, in which, according to the Eurasian L.N. Gumilev there was neither yoke nor conquest

Expedition of the Institute of Archiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences under the leadership of A.V. Engovatova in 2004-2005 uncovered a number of sanitary burials in historical center Yaroslavl.In the study area (1200 sq.m.), 25 residential and utility buildings of varying degrees of preservation were identified, and more than a hundred utility and construction pits were recorded. A change in the layout and development of this quarter was revealed, as well as traces of powerful fires, including those mentioned in written sources in 1501 and 1658.
The first burial (a total of nine were discovered) was discovered under the foundation of the Assumption Cathedral in a structure of an earlier period, deepened into the mainland by 80-90 cm (presumably the basement of a residential building, photo above), a structure with wooden log walls. Judging by the chaotic arrangement of the skeletons of those buried (on their sides, on their backs, flat, some were thrown into the pit upside down), the burial was carried out hastily.

Animal bones were found among the human bones. Among the remains, women's jewelry, a cross-vest, pieces of fabric, virtual glass, fragments of plinth, and fragments of circular ceramics were also found. According to ceramics experts, the burial should be dated to the first half of the 13th century. In the first burial, the remains of 97 individuals of the Slavic (Vyatichi) anthropological type were discovered (the total number of skeletons found in 9 burials is about 500). The number of children in the group is approximately a third. The series under study was a one-time chronological section, which brought it closer to a traditional biological group (as opposed to paleoanthropological burials). Based on fragments of fabrics and other finds (wool, felt, fur), it can be said with a high degree of probability that people died in cold weather. Which corresponds to the dating of Batu’s invasion (winter 1247-48).
The second was a well in which the remains of at least 77 people were discovered. Based on the surviving wood of the well walls, it has been established that the well was erected no earlier than 1228. Among the things found were objects that had fallen into the well during its intended use (ladles, bowls, cups).

The dating of the archaeological material allows us to assert that all nine burials were made simultaneously - no earlier than the end of the 1220s and no later than the middle of the 13th century.
A study of Yaroslavl burials showed that closer to the city walls and defensive ramparts (near the borders of Detinets), the skeletons of middle-aged men 25-35 years old with fatal injuries in the facial part predominated.

Closer to the city center with a predominance of female and child skeletons (half as many men) with injuries to the back area, and women of all ages. In the well where the soldiers were buried, the remains of (apparently) a militiaman were discovered - namely, in the well, a well-preserved insulated bast shoe with a winter insole was discovered, in which there were phalanges of the toes.

Pathologists believe that several months have passed from the moment of death to the moment of burial - fly larvae are present in the skulls, and the bodies are damaged by rodents. Apparently, the surviving residents hastily left the city, and the dead bodies remained unburied until June. This version is also supported by the fact that the remains (skeleton) of a cow with signs of dystrophic exhaustion and a rope around its neck were found in the well. People left the city and the tied cow died of hunger. Severed sheep heads were also found. Apparently, the Tatars cut off the heads of sheep and attached the headless carcasses to the saddle, moving further into the territory of Rus'.
Apparently the dead were buried in close proximity to the place where they died.
Among the causes of death, forensic experts from the Bureau of Forensic Medicine of the Moscow Department of Health, involved in the excavations, in almost all cases established death as a result of injuries incompatible with life. These include three characteristic groups:
1) chopped wounds
2) puncture wounds
3) perforated fractures (see photo)

a child's scapula bone pierced through (perforate fracture)

The injuries showed no signs of healing, meaning they were fatal. Damage to the children's skeletons led experts to the unequivocal conclusion that the children were not only killed, but also raised on spears (characteristic notches were found on the spine and chest). Women and children mostly died from arrow wounds in the chest, back and stomach. One child was found to have been wounded by a stele in the heel bone, which is only possible if the child was running away from someone who shot an arrow at him.
As a result, the city was set on fire and burned to the ground. Among the dead there are also those who were burned alive.

Old Ryazan, Izyaslavl, Kozelsk, Moscow, Kyiv

Similar burials were found:
- in Old Ryazan in the trenches of the eastern part of the Northern settlement (47 mass graves), discovered in 1926. There are traces of chopping weapons on the bones
- Fatyanovka village near Oka, 1979. Those killed with signs of violent death (skull fractures, arrowheads stuck in the bones) were placed in three tiers without coffins. Some signs indicated that frozen corpses were buried
- Izyaslavl (near the village of Gorodishche, Shepetovsky district, Khmelnitsky region) - more than 250 people (including women, old people and children) with injuries similar to Yaroslavl and Vladimir (that is, typical). Many of the corpses were heavily fragmented (chopped into pieces), with most injuries to the non-combatant population occurring from the sides, from behind, and while lying on the ground. Group M.K. Kargera
- Kyiv, 1892, burials near the Grand Ducal Court, Tithe Church, Golden Gate, Podol
- Kozelsk, Moscow - chronicles

This was such a wonderful union of Russians and Turks. Bravo, Eurasians!

Anthropology

Anthropological studies carried out in Yaroslavl, old Ryazan and Vladimir showed that all the dead belonged to the Slavic anthropological type from among local residents. Interestingly, the settlement of North-Eastern Rus' by the Slavs was apparently carried out in two waves (Krivichi and Vyatichi). Because according to anthropological factors, the Slavs, the inhabitants of the village, differ from the Slavs, the inhabitants of the city. Moreover, city residents are anthropologically closer to Western Slavs, for example, Smolensk. This picture was not common in Rus', since the inhabitants of Kyiv and the lands adjacent to Kyiv, for example, belonged to the sameanthropologicaltipu - glades. Being in the zone of interethnic and intertribal contact with the Finno-Ugric peoples (Chud, Merya, Mordovians), the northeastern and eastern Slavs, however, are easily segmented and localized from the Finno-Ugric peoples, and even more so from the Mongoloids. The Finno-Ugric population of the region is distinguished by a narrow and relatively long cranium and a slightly protruding nose bridge, a higher flattening of the face at the level of the cheekbones in comparison with the Slavs, and a higher value of the bending index of the zygomatic bone.


In addition to the Slavs of two types and the Finno-Ugric peoples (also several types), Burtases (apparently) were present in small numbers in the region - a little studied ethnic group with weak Mongoloid features based on anthropological characteristics. However, among those killed in Vladimir and Yaroslavl there are no Finns or Mongoloids. At all. Firstly, this indicates that the cities were defended exclusively by Russians (Slavs) and only they lived in the cities. And secondly, that the Mongols immediately took the bodies of their dead fellow tribesmen and buried them somewhere else (at least their graves have not yet been found). However, based on the above reasons (the unconditional temporary presence of the Tatars in a later period), as well as according to numerous Russian, European, Persian, Arab, Chinese written sources and other material evidence that does not indicate any strife or other military campaigns, it can be unequivocally stated the reality of the invasion of the steppe people and their extreme cruelty towards the conquered population who offered resistance.

History of Izyaslav

Settlements on the territory of modern Izyaslav already existed in ancient times. During excavations in the vicinity of the city, ground flint axes and other tools of the Neolithic era were discovered. Near Izyaslav, in the Ostron tract, at the end of the 19th century. An ancient Russian burial ground was excavated, and craftsmen's tools, stone, glass, and iron products were found on the territory of the city.

Some historians believe that the formation of the city is connected with the activities of Prince Vladimir, when he, at the end of the 10th century, allocated one of the then largest Slavic settlements on the Goryn River to his son Izyaslav, making it the center of the estate, calling it Izyaslav, that is, due to Izyaslav.

According to another version, Izyaslav was founded by Prince Izyaslav Mstislavovich, where in the second half of the 12th century. along the Gusyni River, near the present village of Gorodishche (Shepetovsky district). In 1241 the Tatars destroyed this settlement, which was never rebuilt. New locality arose at the end of the 13th century. already on the Gorini River. IN different time documents record its somewhat different names: Izyaslavl (XIII century), Zaslav, Zaslavl, Izyaslav (XIV - XX centuries).

At the end of the 13th century. the city was part of the Galician-Volyn principality. In the XIV century. Izyaslav became the possession of the Ostrog princes, whose rights to the city were confirmed by a charter from the King of Poland Vladislav Jagiello and the Grand Duke of Lithuania Vytautas. In 1466, on the banks of the Goryn, the Zaslavsky princes (a branch of the Ostrozhsky family) began construction of a castle. Ramparts and other fortifications were built around the castle (their remains are still preserved).

XV-XVI centuries were alarming and restless for the city. Every 10-20 years Volyn was attacked by the Tatars. An attack of the Tatars on Izyaslav in 1491, battles under the walls of the city between the Polish army and the Tatars in 1534 and 1577 were recorded. They made great devastation in the vicinity of Izyaslav in 1618.
