Edition of the famous manuscript, in which the events of the Time of Troubles are personally described by the "Conqueror of Moscow" - crown full hetman Stanislav Zholkevsky, prepared for publication by historian-archaeologist P.A. Mukhanov (1798-1871). The publication contains the original Polish text with a parallel Russian translation. Although no manuscript has a year on display, it is evident from the contents that these notes were written in 1611, some time after Hetman's departure from Russia, and that a second copy was made shortly after the first.
