1. I don't know what happened to the #IvanKhurs but I know a couple of things. First, it was attacked by at least three drone ships in an area off the entrance to the #Bosporus. Second, early reports claimed to show it with the name on the side. Third, I knew that was likely 
2. false because I happened to take a photo of the ship in October and the name had been painted over. So because I witnessed the Russian lies over the Slava Battle Cruiser Moskva, I tend to not believe Russian reporting when it is about one of their ships that was attacked.

The blinding of the #Byzantine Emperor Constantine VI in #Constantinople in August 797 CE and his overthrow by his mother Eirene was used as legitimation for the #coronation of the Frankish King #Charlemagne as emperor of the Romans on 25 December, 800. (2/9)

In #Byzantine sources, Constantine VI´s #blinding was linked with a spectacular #celestialmanifestation of divine disapproval: “The #sun was darkened for seventeen days and did not emit its rays so that ships lost course and drifted about.” (3/9)
