The oldest monument of Russian travel is the journey of the Archimandrite Daniel of Kiev to the Holy Land about A.D. 1106–7. Even earlier than this, we have allusions to Russian pilgrims and pilgrimages. Thus in the life of St. Theodosius of Kiev we are told of the visit of certain unnamed devotees to Palestine in 1022; and in 1062 St. Varlaam, head of the Lavra of Kiev, followed in their steps. But no personal record of a Russian traveller in this age (the eleventh century) has yet been found
