Summary/Abstract: Georgy Gutsa (Hutsu) – Yuriy Venelin (1802-1839) was born in Transcarpathia, in Ukrainian family of an Orthodox priest, studied at the Ungvar gymnasium, the Satu-Mare lyceum and at Lviv University. In the Russian Empire he was a teacher at the Kishinev Seminary, in 1825-1829 student at Moscow University, then lived in Moscow. He is known as a critic of the “Norman concept” of the origin of Rus’ and as the founder of the ideas of the national revival of Bulgaria. In 1830-1831 made a philological and archeographic journey to the Balkans under the auspices and at the expense of the Academy of Sciences, from where he took out dozens of ancient manuscripts. The article is devoted to the publication of previously unknown archaeological materials obtained by Yu. Venelin during this foreign expedition, his handwritten map of the Danube Delta and descriptions of Odessa, Tiraspol, Ovidiopol, etc., but erroneously interpreted as the remains of dwellings and settlements of the ancient Hungarian nomads. In addition, the article presents the facts of the mass export of ancient artifacts and Ottoman monuments from Bulgaria to Odessa and St. Petersburg during the Russian-Turkish war of 1828-1829.
