By the way, the name Aleshki - the pre-reform spelling of Aleshka, was established during the Russian Empire after the restoration of the settlement and the founding of Haleshkovskaya Sich here in 1711, and was then officially used from 1802 (when the city was called Aleshki before its name was changed in the 20th century to Syropinsk). So there were no traces of any "donkeys"!
