Joke. In Lyman, they lost the “relics” of Dmitry Donskoy (a piece of corpse). The Russians were running from the Armed Forces of Ukraine and now can’t find the piece of the “saint’s” hand.
Comedy. Prince Dmitry Donskoy surrendered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The joke is everywhere here.
• The inhabitants of the swamps worship a corpse, literally a piece of dried meat.
• They claim he freed them from the Horde. But in the Battle of Kulikovo, he fought for his tsar Tokhtamysh, the legitimate Khan of the Horde, against the usurper Mamai (whom he initially worshipped and then betrayed).
This is the “liberation from the Tatar Yoke.”
• After the battle, “That same autumn, the Grand Prince sent his khans Tolbuga and Mokshei to the new tsar with gifts and tributes.” Simeonov Chronicle.
• Later, coins of Dmitry were minted: “Sultan Tokhtamysh Khan, may his life be prolonged!”
• 200 years later, this Horde tax collector gets the nickname Donskoy, and a “victory over the Horde” is invented,
• In the Kremlin, a plaque next to the corpse claims he fought against the Horde, not against the Khan’s opponent.
• In 1378, Metropolitan Cyprian of Kyiv and All Rus excommunicated Donskoy from the church and anathematized him. Donskoy refused to recognize the anti-Horde Cyprian as the Metropolitan of Moscow, so his people robbed the Metropolitan.
• In 1988, the Russian self-proclaimed church declared the guy who took Little Tokhtamyshka a “saint.” Just an ordinary guy, not a righteous person, not a fighter for faith or holy things, a servant of the Horde. Anathematized. Excommunicated from the church.
• Later, his “relics suddenly found” in 2026 in the Kremlin this year. Why it was a miracle and sudden is unclear, as the corpse of the Horde servant had always been there.
• They were taken apart into pieces (another joke of the Horde self-proclaimed saints) and started to be transported among the troops “to raise morale.”
And in Lyman during the Armed Forces of Ukraine operation, they lost it.
Such complete nonsense. 😆
