BLOCKBUSTER THAT IS NOT WORSE THAN PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
could turn out if you make a movie about the Krusenstern-Lysianskyi round-the-world expedition.
Yuri (baptised as Georgy) Fedorovich Lysianskyi (1 (12) April 1773, Nizhyn - 26 February (6 March) 1837, St. Petersburg) - a navigator of Ukrainian origin in the British and Russian service, geographer, oceanographer, discoverer of unknown lands.
The anniversary date (2023) is approaching: the 250th anniversary of the birth of our outstanding countryman. The Lysianskyi Cossacks in Nizhyn and on the territory of the Nizhyn regiment owned several houses - the family was large enough.
For the creation of the Memorial House-Museum of Yuri Lysianskyi, the only one of them preserved in the fence of the Church of St. John the Theologian (1752), where the navigator's father, Archpriest Fyodor Lysianskyi (1730-1803), served as a priest for more than 40 years of his life. They remember the vaults of this hut and little Yura (George).
