Smilingly, Putin said that their version was different. According to Putin, a bag of jewelry survived the Russian army. While Czar 1st Petro was searching for a way-out, under the besiege by the Ottoman Army with the commandership of Baltaci, Katerina put all her jewelry into a bag. She also collected jewelry from other women at the military camp.
This bag full of jewelry was given to a person, whose name is not known by anybody anymore, as a bribe. This bribe ensured Ptero to escape from Baltaci at Prut swamps by opening a hole. Petro divorced from his wife at his return and married Katerina, who was his mistress for a long time, due to her success.
