History is of course written by the winners and written in a way that suits them. How many times she corresponded, few people know. But paper is known to endure a lot. Another thing is with more durable materials. Let me tell you about the medals in the Rostov Kremlin and inconsistencies in history.
For example, the medal On the capture of Moscow on September 14, 1812. Note the strange antennas instead of crosses on the domes of churches.
Medal in memory of the Patriotic War of 1812
A very strange and at the same time interesting reward. Which depicts both Alexander I and Napoleon. Looking at her, one gets the impression that they are allies, but not enemies. And who was awarded such medals. Imagine the image of Stalin and Hitler on the same side of some order to understand the whole absurdity.

Oleg founded the city of Moscow in 880
Grand Duke Oleg is known to us from the chronicles as Prophetic. The wise commander united the northern and southern territories of Russia. Bil the Khazar, successfully fought against Byzantium, took Tsar-grad (Constantinople (Istanbul)) and nailed his shield on its gates. He took care of and raised the Grand Duke Igor I. The first mention of Moscow appears only in 1147 and was founded by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky. But now, the medal tells us a different version of the founding of the city. Also pay attention to the clothes and armor of Oleg the Prophet. He looks like a Roman general. On the reverse side, we see Igor and the inscription - Grand Duke of Northern and Southern RUSSIA. Why is Russia of that time called Russia?
You might think that the medal was minted by mistake or falsified. But this is unlikely, because it was necessary first to approve the image, make a matrix, approve the material for minting, pay for production. This is a whole technological process. In addition, there are other similar medals, but with dates corresponding to the chronicles.
Oleg city Smolensk from Krivichi took 881
The city of Smolensk is already depicted on the map as a star-shaped fortress.
Please note that at the heart of almost all cities, not only in Russia, but throughout the world, is a star-fortress. The same Rostov has such a strengthening.
Yaroslavl region. Rostov the Great, Rostov Kremlin, Museum Reserve.
All this is very interesting and requires professional analysis and verification. But unfortunately for modern historians, it is just right to rewrite the rewritten and not step back from it. They elevated the literary man Karamzin into dogma, but they do not want to see material artifacts. Apparently afraid.
