Status of the Novgorodian Annals in the 1110s — the Early 1130s
The author discusses the status of the Novgorodian annals in the late 1110s — the early 1130s. According to Aleksey Gippius, one author kept the annals from 1115 to 1132, and he was a princely annalist (as opposed to archiepiscopal annalists who continued his work in the 1130s and later). Mikhail Pechnikov suggested an alternative hypothesis: the annalist of 1115—1132 worked in Antonii’s Monastery of the Nativity of St Mary near Novgorod. The pre…
The March and the Ultra-March Styles in Novgorod and Rostov in the Second Half of the 13th Century
As it has been shown by N. V. Stepanov and N. G. Berezhkov, the Rus annals used two variants of the March style: the March style proper (the year started six months later than the September year with the same number from the Creation of the World) and the ultra-March style (the year started six month earlier than the September year). The paper is dedicated to the usage of those two styles in Novgorod and Rostov in the second half of the 13th cent…
Love to the Miserable” of Old Rus Princes
“Love to the miserable” was one of characteristics of a good prince in Old Rus. Many times written sources mention alms-giving by Rus princes. For example, most of the so-called necrologues (characteristics of deceased princes accompanying announcements of their passing away in Rus chronicles) mention alms-giving. Almost always necrologues do not present any details of this, except in the case of Andrey Bogolyubsky (the “God-loving”, killed in 11…
The Narration of Basqaq Akhmat’s Settlements and Its Place in the Rus Annalistic Writing c. 1300
The paper is dedicated to the narration of the terrible events in the region of Kursk in the south-eastern periphery of Rus in the Rus annals (the earliest and the only reliable version of which is represented by the Laurentian and the Symeon chronicles). A conflict took place between a Tatar official (basqaq of Kursk) and two Rus princes, in the course of which many were killed including the princes in question. This narration is placed in the a…
Historical Writing of Early Rus (c. 1000–c. 1400) in a Comparative Perspective
This book deals with the Rus annals ( letopisi) and with a variety of related texts concerning the historical past. A new typology of those texts is introduced, together with a comprehensive discussion of how the writing of history came into being in Rus between c.1000 and c.1050. The author focuses on the work of the annalists of Novgorod from c. 1045 to c. 1400, and discusses the functions of annalistic writing in the Rus society. Both the char…

The conference was co-organized by the Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (NNGASU), the Institute of World History of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Historical Institute…
Once Again on the Date of the Foundation of the Archbishopric of Novgorod
Most of scholars believe that the first bishop of Novgorod to obtain the title of archbishop was Nifont (1131—1156). Aleksei Gippius recently has shown that we have no grounds not to trust the Novgorodian annals calling Nifont’s predecessors also archbishops. Gippius supposes that the Novgorodian see was archiepiscopal from its very foundation in the late 10th century, as it is presented by later Novgorodian chroniclers. However, it seems signifi…
Levels of Meaning and “Memory of Context” (on Marianna Andreicheva’s Book Dedicated to the Images of Infidels in the Rus Primary Chronicle)
This is a review of Marianna Andreicheva’s stimulating book (issued in 2019) dedicated to an analysis of several fragments of the Rus Primary Chronicle (‘Povest’ vremennykh let’) concerned with infidels: pagan, Muslim, Jewish, and Catholic. Andreicheva uses basically two methods: the search of literary sources and models of the chronicle fragments (Biblical, Byzantine, etc.), and the study of possible connotations which are not obvious when readi…
The Dates of Vladimir Yaroslavich’s Expedition Against Byzantium in Rus Chronicles and the Regnal Years of Yaroslav the Wise
The Rus Primary Chronicle (Povest’ vremennykh let, PVL) reports s. a. 6551 (1043) an unsuccessful military expedition of the Rus against Byzantium. This event is reported by Byzantine sources as well, and they confirm the date: 1043. As Alexander Nazarenko rightly points out, the date in PVL belongs to a series of year-dates which can be confirmed by foreign sources and which must go back to contemporary annalistic records of the first half of th…
The Annalistic Writing in Novgorod ca. 1200
The paper is concerned with the analysis of textual differences between the Elder and the Younger versions of the First Novgorodian Chronicle. The author shows that several groups of differences are concentrated in the same part of the text: in the annals for the 12th century. They increase toward the end of the century, are the most numerous in the annals for the 1190s, and never cross the edge of the annals for 1199/1200. This chronological bou…
Annalistic Writing and the Development of Written Culture (Novgorod of the 11th and the First Half of the 12th Centuries)
The author studies key moments in the history of early Novgorodian annalistic writing in the context of other written practices in Novgorod. The first, very brief annalistic notes were made by clerics of the St. Sophia Cathedral in the middle of the 11th century, at the time when, in Novgorod, writing was becoming part of the everyday life of clerics as well as of the lay elite and the administration. The first systematic historical works (an ann…
