 The only thing left is one tower that adumbrates the strengths which the city had once.Despite being a strong defensive backing for the Ukrainian Crossack in the war, as in March 1654, for example, an attack of 3,000 Polish soldiers was successfully staved off, in November of the same year, the fortress was destroyed by an approximately 60,000-strong Polish army during the Russo-Polish war.About 70 women fled from the fortress with their children and sheltered in another fortress nearby.
