	Ilmen Slavs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ilmen Slavs (Ильменские славяне in Russian; also known as словѣне, or Slovene), the northernmost tribe of the Early East Slavs, which inhabited the shores of the Lake Ilmen and the basin of the rivers of Volkhov, Lovat, Msta and the upper stream of the Mologa River in the 6-10 centuries.
		The Ilmen Slavs left a few archaeological monuments of the 6-8 centuries, such as agricultural settlements and tall conelike kurgans with incinerated bodies.
		The principal cities of the Ilmen Slavs were Staraya Russa and Novgorod, which had appeared in the 9-10 centuries.

	The Slavs
		As regards the eastern Slavs or Russians, leaving out the mention of Ptolemy already referred to, Jordanis says that at the beginning of the era of the migrations the Goths had carried on war with the "nation of Slavs"; this nation must have lived in what is now Southern Russia.
		However, the contrary is the case; the original home of the Slavs and the region from which their migrations began is to be sought in the basin of the Dnieper and in the region extending to the Carpathians and the Vistula.
		In the later battles of the Slavs for the maintenance of their language in the Liturgy, this opinion was very convenient, as appeal could be made for the Slavonic claims to the authority of St. Jerome and even of St. Paul.
