That probably why in the first edition of the Great Soviet Encylopaedia (BCE) volume 22, 1935 in the article about Dimitri Ivanovych only gets only gets 3 lines.
The Blues water battle gets 9 pages in Hrushevsky's history of Rus's-Ukraine but then you are only relying on distorted Soviet Chauvenist publications which disregard anything Stalin didn't pay attention to.

I notice that yiou don't mention the chronicler nor the source. Is that intentional because there is no such source or because he is one of you friends.

Ross- you are mixing up your Russian and Ukrainian history. There is a difference you know. I understand it is diffiecult to give up something that you took for granted. I understand that your information is distorted. But stop babbling such rubbish. You are loosing whatever is left of your authority
