Opening the forgotten pages of history

In June 2006 the book “The Mystery of Theodoro principality” by Andrey Vasilyev and Mikhail Avtushenko from Sevastopol, was published by publishing house “Byblex”. In fact this is the first systematic research of the history of the Theodoro principality which existed in southwestern part of Crimea during the XIII-XV-th centuries. It should be interesting fact for citizens of Sevastopol that this little state which included the major part present Sevastopol of territory was the last fragment of the Byzantine Empire. It outlived the fall of Constantinople for twenty two years and was occupied by Turks in 1475 only.
