Walking around Odessa, it is impossible not to notice the buried windows of the so-called basement or semi-basement floors, in which, according to official historians, servants or janitors lived. These floors were built just like that. According to another version of the same official historians, these houses sagged, but for some reason sagged evenly, nowhere giving cracks. And according to the third version of the same official historians, the whole thing is in the cultural layer, which rose over the year and in one hundred or two hundred years covered the first and half of the second floors. Of course, people could not resist or somehow interfere with the cultural layer, so they collected their belongings and moved from the first floors to the second floor, and instead of window openings on the second floors they made doors, built stairs, built on the third, fourth floors … It's much easier,than to sweep the streets and prevent the "cultural layer" from seizing such expensive residential meters of city apartments. I personally cannot imagine this in the current environment. Why are we forced to believe that before people were different and they so easily parted with their real estate, but now everyone is starting to dig up and use these premises for their intended purpose. And what then was not dug out? Or was the building material cheap before? Or maybe it was just easy to build without construction equipment? In a word, this lie of official historians defies logic and common sense!and now everyone is starting to dig up and use these premises for their intended purpose. And what then was not dug out?

Let's once again analyze the lies of our historians using the example of the city of Odessa.
Odessa is a fairly young city, it was founded in 1794, when Empress Catherine II issued a rescript about the foundation of the city. But earlier on this place stood the Turkish city of Khadzhibey. Well, maybe not a city, but a settlement, a stone castle, a dock for ships and a port with primitive structures … But as historians tell us, in those ancient times there was a tradition to call cities in the territories conquered from the Turks by Greek names: Sevastopol, Tiraspol. Therefore, they assume that Odessa was named after the ancient Greek colony of Odessa, located in the northern Black Sea coast, but this is inaccurate.
Today we know why the same Petrograd was renamed to Leningrad, and then to Saint Petersburg, or the city of Tsaritsyn - to Stalingrad, and then to Volgograd. But why Catherine II named the city Khadzhibey Odessa remains a mystery for us and for our historians. We are accustomed to considering St. Petersburg a mysterious city, but believe me, Odessa contains no less mysteries, and these mysteries are very closely intertwined with the mysteries of St. Petersburg.
Let's pay attention to one of the most important symbols of Odessa - the Potemkin Stairs. The construction of this staircase was initiated by Count Mikhail Vorontsov - after all, Odessa needed convenient access from the city to the sea. The famous architect Franz Karlovich Boffo, who built up almost all of Odessa, designed and built this staircase in 1837-1841. It is very interesting that this staircase is displayed differently on different engravings.
Pay attention to the angle of inclination: somewhere this staircase seems steep, and somewhere, on the contrary, it is gentle. And if we count the arches under this staircase in different engravings, then we will not find coincidences on any of them.

This is how, for example, Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky draws this staircase for us in 1840.
The painting is called "Odessa" and hangs in the State Pushkin Museum in Moscow. But at that time it was still under construction and was only built in 1841! And the picture Aivazovsky must have been writing for more than one month.
So how did the great Russian artist depict the Potemkin Stairs a year before it was built? Perhaps someday we will get an answer!
