This is an automatically translated description

The proposed publication is devoted to only one episode of the Crimean War (1853-1856) - the attack of the Light Brigade under Lord Cardigan during the Battle of Balaklava on 25 October 1854. On the basis of a large number of historiographical sources, mostly little known to Ukrainian historical scholarship, or even unknown to date, the book refutes or undermines a significant number of manipulative claims and attempts at falsification generated and cultivated by Russian scholarship to this day, about the "outstanding victory of the Russian army", "the cowardly flight of the British horsemen", "the complete defeat of the Light Brigade", etc., which, due to certain circumstances, have become firmly entrenched in the Ukrainian information space, in particular because Ukrainian scholars have paid little attention to the study of the Crimean War and its individual moments.
