The guests of Sabantuy will see a historical reconstruction of "How Vyatka voivode Horde drove"?

      However, the "historically savvy population", who initially did not believe that "friendly ties" would honestly take advantage of the 360-million-dollar gift in the form of Vyatka-Polyansky festivities in honor of the end of the sowing season in Tatarstan, today they say that the historical reconstruction of the events of the XV century, when Vyatka voivode Kostya Yuryev chased the Golden Horde within its historical borders and burned burning down the capital Sarai-Berke will not only not add friendly neighborly enthusiasm, but, most likely, if not offend, then it will greatly puzzle the "main guest" — Raisa of the border republic.

      Despite the fact that the reconstruction events occurred at a time when the borders and territories controlled by the Golden Horde stretched from Lithuania to Western Siberia and the borders of China. And the Moscow principalities paid tribute to the Horde "within the framework of the Tatar-Mongol yoke."

      "When we found out that one of the Sabantuy sites was supposedly ready to show a historical reconstruction on the theme "how Kostya Yuryev drove the Tatar-Mongol" ("Khlynov: the saga of the city and its inhabitants" (16+), the only thing that came to mind was: what kind of fool came up with this? After all, if you wanted to invite and please guests from Tatarstan, then you should not remember this — yes, very heroic — plot of Vyatka land. But if they wanted to humiliate me, why did they call it a holiday?" - says one of the famous researchers and historians of our region.

      Comparing the "emotional level of the event" with, for example, the arrival in Moscow of Erich Honecker, to whom Leonid Brezhnev would have shown the reconstruction of "The Capture of Berlin":

      "We should also take into account that if the role of voivode Kostya Yuriev is undoubtedly talented and, as his colleagues recalled, the cunning military commander will be performed by Sergei Biserov (the founder of the Khlynovskaya Outpost and the head of the Governor's Equestrian Yard) with his inherent fanaticism, passion and a little Vyatka hooliganism in this matter, then the situation "how our people were driven back" will become almost tangible. Despite the fact that the Horde did not particularly bother the "reckless ushkuyniki", but the Vyatskys fought with it for "preventive reasons" — "so that they would not climb."

      By the way, political old-timers say that they are "not at all surprised by the idea of the new chief historian of the Vyatka land," who, having placed himself on the pedestal of the first connoisseur of local chronicles, canceled the City Day with one stroke, devaluing the long-term work of Professor Anatoly Emmaussky.:

      "For 49 years, starting in 1974— Kirov residents celebrated City Day in June. But the Kostroma historian quickly and categorically approved the holiday in September. And we quietly agreed with the team of the "local ruler," although the statement is very controversial."

      As the interlocutor explained, if you don't dig into the chronicles, but judge humanly, then why would the ushkuyniks set up a settlement in September?

      "Vyatka is already getting under the ice, and the ushkuyniki went on rowing boats — they didn't skate or go by wagon train. Daylight is cold and short: it is not enough to cut down thickets (except for firewood) and build huts. Is it June? The dashing people understood perfectly well that in the summer you can stock up on food — just stretch out your hand. And you will have to sleep not in a snowdrift, but on the warmed-up ground... Any man, if he weren't a complete fool, wouldn't have started building, chopping wood, and cultivating land in September. Or he didn't start at all, but boarded the ship and sailed on."..
