The political and literary activity of Mykhailo Czajkowski (Sadyk Pasha) was full of many riddles and taunts. The last updates and publications of documents shed light on most of them. The circumstances of the death of a prominent Ukrainian politician still unclear, as there are too many myths and rumors about what actually happened on the night of January 5 (January 17 in the new style) in the Czajkowski estate in Chernigov gubernia. Based on the new data found, in particular – on the metric records of the deaths of Adam Morozovych and Mykhailo Czajkowski, this article rejects outright nonsense and falsifications, which immediately after the death of General reached the press, and from there – to public opinion. The question of the probability of the version of the suicide of a retired Turkish General and a man who first created the concept of the Ukrainian state in the nineteenth century, author is answered negatively.
