[REGNUM] Modern Ukrainian officialdom denies the very fact of the founding of Odessa by Empress Catherine II and her associates. “Everything was already founded before them,” Ukrainian historians report, specifying that the city was first mentioned by the 15th-century Polish chronicler Jan Dlugosz as the “royal port of Kachubey.” This version was canonized in 2015 by a special resolution of the Verkhovna Rada on the celebration of the 600th anniversary of Odessa.
