Furthermore, there's not a huge gap between the time of the incident in 1676 and the earliest version of the letter we've found so far, in the early 1800s. It simply wasn't mentioned in the summary, not explicitly mentioned as fake. The justification that it's "not historical" comes from someone saying it wasn't mentioned in a summary of Ottoman-Cossack diplomatic relations, but there were many letters between the two sides during that time. Hmm, I'm not terribly convinced by those comments that the letter never happened.
