Короткий опис(реферат):
The Muscovite legation to the Ottoman Empire in 1686 enabled the final stage of annexation of the Kyiv Metropolia by the Patriarchate of Moscow at the end of the 17th century. However, previously ignored Ottoman sources (the official register of Ottoman
affairs in 1686-1687, the History of Silahdar chronicle, and a fragment of the European
chronicle Relazione di Constantinopoli) contradict the Russian narrative. This casts
doubt on the veracity of the Muscovite diplomatic mission in 1686 and, therefore, the
process of separation of the Kyiv Metropolia from the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
