Sieversk is the area where the events of the most famous epic “Tale of Igor’s Campaign” took place in 1185. Russia also stole that Ukrainian epic written in Ukrainian city of Chernigiv around 1190. The story of the epic that found its way to the desk of Catherine II of Russia is a thriller in itself. (“Gardariki, Ukraine” e-book describes all these events in case someone is looking for insights into Ukraine-Russia relations a millennium ago).
How many tonnes were in Sieversk’s libraries before the invasion?
