Mikhail Krechetnikov

Also known as Manifest about joining of Polish oblasts (regions) to Russia in 1793 (see Second partition of Poland), it is an act by which Russian Empire pronounced its right on territories of the Right-bank Ukraine that until then was located as part of Rzeczpospolita.

Equal to the Apostles Prince Vladimir of 1st degree, Polish White Eagle and St. Stanislaus and Grand Duchy of Holstein St. Anna, I, Mikhail Krechetnikov, announce this by the highest will and behest of my the most merciful gosudarynia of All-Russian H.I.M.

That not only were in vain, but also turned in a fruitless burden and in the same way was incurring of countless losses for all her efforts to preserve rest, peace and freedom in this neighboring to her oblast (region), it is indisputably and tangibly proven by the 30-year experience.

always looked at this oppression that those lands and cities adjacent to Russian Empire and once being her former possession and her people of single heritage created and by Christian Orthodox faith enlightened until this time such practicing were proven of it.

Yet today some unworthy Poles, enemies of own Homeland, are not ashamed to incite the reign of godless rebels in French Kingdom and their support so that together with them involve Poland into bloody civil strife.
