Candidate of Art History, author of popular science books "Roxolana: Myths and Realities" (2015, 2nd edition 2016), "Letters of Roxolana: Love and Diplomacy" (2017) Alexander Shutko based on historical facts, archival materials and Turkish research, American and Western European scholars wrote a three-part novel about Hatice Turhan.
The second volume is devoted to the years of the sultan's rule in the Ottoman Empire. After the execution of his mother-in-law, the great valiant Kocem, Hatice Turhan became the regent of his minor son, Sultan Mehmed IV, and in fact ruled the Ottoman state.
Hatice Turhan's participation included not only government appointments, but also audiences with the sultan's ambassadors from Asia, Africa and Europe. She paid great attention to Polish-Ukrainian relations. It was during her regency that Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky received the Ottoman protectorate. However, he soon sided with the Muscovites. But even this did not spoil his "friendship" with the Ottomans.
Hatice Turhan became the last representative of the Women's Sultanate in the Ottoman Empire, founded by Roxolana.
