The mother of one of the descendants of the famous Roksolana was a Ukrainian from Podillia – Nadiia, who in the harem of Sultan Ibrahim the Mad received the name Khadija Turhan. She lived during the turbulent years of the mid-17th century, filled with uprisings in the provinces of the Ottoman Empire, and the Janissary revolts in Constantinople (now Istanbul). Unfortunately, this sultana is little known in Ukraine. Candidate of Art Studies, author of popular science books "Roksolana: Myths and Realities" (2015, 2nd ed. 2016), "Letters of Roksolana: Love and Diplomacy" (2017), "The Female Sultanate: Power and Love" (2019) Oleksandra Shutko wrote a novel about Khadija Turhan based on historical facts, archival materials, and research by Turkish, American, and Western European scholars, which consists of three parts.
The third volume is dedicated to the last twenty years of the life of this sultana, who defended the Ukrainian Cossacks. Hetman Petro Doroshenko not only received the protection of her son, Mehmed IV, but also united his forces with him for the campaign to Kamianets (now the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi) and Khotyn in 1672–1673. His successor was Hetman Yurii Khmelnytskyi.
The Osmanis ruled in Podillia even after the death of Hatice Turhan – until 1699. The last years of her life were spent in opposition to her daughter-in-law, haseki Gülnush, from whom she defended her stepsons Suleiman and Ahmed, who were first in line for the Ottoman throne.
Valide Turhan is also known as a great philanthropist. After the construction of the grand New Mosque in Constantinople, she took care of the fate of pilgrims to Mecca and Medina and built a mosque in honor of her brother Yusuf in the area where the Bosphorus flows into the Black Sea.
Valide Turhan built the largest tomb for herself in the capital of the Ottoman Empire, which has become a true pilgrimage site among Turks, who hold her memory in great esteem.
