The article is an attempt to return to the discussion of the legendary “diary of Samoil Zorko” as the key one in understanding the sources of the Cossack chronicle of Samijlo Velychko. According to Velychko himself, this diary was written by B. Khmel’nyts’ky’s secretary. The mystery of Zorko’s diary caused a great controversy in historiography. Article study the personality of Zorko, the baroque techniques used by that Velychko, and our knowledge about the secretaries of Khmel’nyts’kyi. Article studies what Zorko’s diary could include and how Velychko could use it. The article rejects the version that all the events missing in the work S. Twardowsky, including the famous “universals”, Velychko got from Zorko’s diary. Authors thinks that Velychko really had at his disposal a certain source, called “Diary of Zorko”, which included a description of military events of Khmel’nyts’kyi’s uprising. Authors managed to find the mark made by Velychko where he used Zorko’s diary. The only reference to Zorko indicates a unique description of the military events near Okhmatov (1655). In conclusion, its stated the “diary of Zorko” are the laconic records about military operations, written by a participant in the events, possibly the secretary of Khmel’nyts’kyi, which doesn’t exist in our days. This diary was traditional for Central-Eastern Europe. Velychko in his description of the Khotyn war of 1621 in the Initial part, based on Titlevsky. He acted in the same way with Zorko’s diary and Tvardovsky’s text. It opens up prospects for further research on the Velychko and for reconstruction of the Diary of Zorko.
