The Beginnings of Russian History
Nora Kershaw Chadwick (1891–1972) was a prominent historian and literary scholar. Originally published in 1946, this book presents an examination by Chadwick of early Russian written sources. The text discusses Russia's rich historical traditions and chronicles, and assesses the extent of oral elements. These areas are related to Greek, Oriental and Scandinavian writings.

He is a strangely nebulous figure, and his origin and identity have evaded the curious scrutiny of scholars. He lacks the distinctive traits of Mikula the husbandman, who appears as his fellow-traveller in certain versions of the byliny. On the other hand he i…
