From history. Nestor the chronicler wrote: "the X century in Russia was tough: it was great uninterrupted war with the nomadic tribes who made constant raids on the Russian lands. Once the Pechenegs laid siege to Belgorod. Long was the siege, and began in the city a severe famine. Then gathered a popular Assembly, and was killed by the townspeople: it is better to surrender to the Pechenegs, than all to die of hunger. But he said one elder: "don't give up for another three days and do what I command you". Told the old man to gather from all over the city the remains of oats, wheat and bran, cook them a ceil (honey solution) for cooking jelly, but to look for honey and make it pressedkey situ (honey stewed fruit, honey razvarnaya on the water). Then ordered to dig two pits and put them in tubs flush with the ground. The first tub I poured honey solution, and secondly, honey drink. The next day he invited the citizens of several of the Pechenegs and led them to the wells. Drew a bucket from the first well, cooked jelly, began to eat it themselves, drink honey drink from the second well and to treat the Pechenegs. Marveled at those and decided that feeding Russian the earth itself. When he returned, he told the Pechenegs to their princes, all that was, them lifted the siege and went from home. "
