		The Krivichs or Kryvičy (Belarusian: Крывічы́; Russian: Кривичи́), one of the tribal unions of Early East Slavs between the 6th and the 12th centuries, which inhabited the upper reaches of the Volga, Dnieper, Western Dvina, areas south of the lower reaches of river Velikaya and parts of the Neman basin.
		It is likely that the Krivichs were the first of the East Slavs to leave the Pripyet Marshes in the 6th century and head northeast, absorbing scanty Finno-Ugric and Baltic tribes (the Krivichs couldn't move towards northwest or west because of their encounters with strong Lithuanian and Finnic tribes).
		The Krivichs as a tribe, subjugated by Kiev, took part in Oleg's and Igor's military campaigns against the Byzantine Empire.

		Many of those from Kresy who already have had an experience of Soviet life sought to avoid this kind of "repatriation".
		In particular, some camps that hosted Belarusians used terms White Ruthenians and Krivichs in their documentation.
		After the Second World War the Kresy territory was officially ceded to the Soviet Union (Ukrainian, Byelorussian and Lithuanian Socialist Soviet Republics) and most of the Polish population was transferred to Poland's Recovered Territories.

	Medieval Sourcebook: The Chronicle of Nestor
		They therefore decided among themselves, "Let us seek a Prince who will govern us and who will give us justice." In order to find him, the Slavs crossed the Sea and sought him among the Varangians.
		The Chudes, the Slavs, the Krivichs and other peoples together spoke thus to the princes of Varangia: "Our country is large and has everything in abundance except that we lack order and justice; come take possession and govern us." Three Varangian brothers together with their families went, in effect, to occupy Slavonia.
		They settled among the Slavs, and in the country they built the city of Ladoga.
