  Primary Chronicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Russian Primary Chronicle (Russian: Повесть временных лет, Povest' vremennykh let, which is often translated in English as Tale of Bygone Years), is a history of the early East Slavic state, Kievan Rus, from around 850 to 1110 originally compiled in Kiev about 1113.
The original of the chronicle is lost, and the earliest known copies are the Laurentian codex and the Hypatian codex, so it is difficult to establish the original content of the chronicle, word by word.
A collation of the chronicle by Donald Ostrowski in Cyrillic is available at http://hudce7.harvard.edu/~ostrowski/pvl/ together with an erudite and lengthy introduction in English.

According to the Primary Chronicle Rurik was one of the Rus, a Varangian tribe likened by the chronicler to Danes, Swedes, English and Gotlanders (Goths) and usually identified with the Varangians of Roslagen.
For instance, the Primary Chronicle states that Rurik arrived to Slavic lands with two brothers, Sineus and Truvor, and sent them to rule the towns of Beloozero and Izborsk, respectively.
Roerik of Dorestad reappeared in Frankish chronicles in 870, when his Friesland demesne was returned to him by Charles the Bold; in 882 he is already mentioned as dead.

The Russian Primary Chronicle (Russian title Povest' vremennykh let, which in English is Tale of Bygone Years) is a history of the early Russian state, Kievan Rus' from around 850 to 1110, and is assumed to have been published in 1116.
The chronicle is attributed to a monk named Syl'vestr, who was the hegumen (superior) of St. Michael's Monastery in the village of Vydubychi near Kiev.
The original of the chronicle was lost, and the earliest known copy dates from 260 years after 1110, so it is difficult to establish the exact content of the chronicle, how it was written and who wrote it.

 Rus' (people) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
According to the Primary Chronicle, a historical compilation attributed to the 12th century, Rus was a group of Varangians who lived on the other side of the Baltic sea, in Scandinavia.
In Karamzin's writing the normanist theory formed the basis and justification for Russian autocracy, and Pogodin used the theory to advance his view that Russia was immune to social upheavals and revolutions, because the Russian state originated from a voluntary treaty between the people of Novgorod and Varangian rulers.
They claim that Nestor, a putative author of the Chronicle, was biased against the pro-Greek party of Vladimir Monomakh and supported the pro-Scandinavian party of the ruling prince Svyatopolk.

It is agreed that the chronicle may well have been a compilation of several Kievanan and Novgorod chronicles.
The original of the chronicle was lost, and the earliest known copy dates from 267 years after 1110 (the Laurentian codex), so it is difficult to establish the exact content of the chronicle, how it was written and who wrote it.
The account of the labors of Saint Cyril and Methodius among the Slavic peoples is also very interesting, and to Nestor we owe the tale of the summary way in which Vladimir suppressed the worship of Perun and other idols at Kyiv.

 Kievan Rus' - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
According to the Primary Chronicle, the earliest chronicle of Kievan Rus′, a Varangian (Viking) named Rurik first established himself in Novgorod (he was selected as common ruler by several Slavic and Finnish tribes) in about 860 before moving south and extending his authority to Kiev.
The chronicle cites him as the progenitor of the Rurik Dynasty.
Given the postulated pro-Scandinavian bias of the Russian Primary Chronicle, some Slavic historians have debated the role of the Varangians in the establishment of Kievan Rus′ (see Rus′).

The Varangians (Varyags, in Russian) are first mentioned by the Russian Primary Chronicle as having arrived from beyond the Baltic Sea around the mid-9th century, invited by the warring Slavic and Fennic tribes to bring peace to the region.
According to the Chronicle, the invited Varangians called Rus' were led by Rurik and his two brothers Truvor and Sineus, who settled around the Slavic town of Novgorod.
The Varangian Guard was one of the fiercest and most loyal elements of the Byzantine army, as described in Anna Comnena's chronicle of the reign of her father Alexius I, the Alexiad.

 Russian Primary Chronicles
It would thus be reasonable to place the Primary Chronicle in the context of a sacred Soviet document, provided that the distinctions between the predecessor Kievan state and the modern state are not obscured.
If the Primary Chronicle were a work of fiction, this could readily be taken as the state of dis-equilibrium that the subsequent tale would resolve.
It is clear that throughout history, from the Bulgarian campaigns in the Primary Chronicle to the division of Poland in the 1800's and the post-World War II era, that the Western and Southern Slavs have never accepted Russian rule as a final grand re-unification with the motherland.

The Primary Chronicle locates the Radimichians on the left bank of the Dnieper, in the basin of the Sozh.
The Primary Chronicle traces the descent of the Radimichians "from the stock of the Liakhs," but that was probably a misunderstanding.
The Primary Chronicle says that the Rus mocked the Radimichians saying: "The Pishchanians (the Radimichians on the Pischana River) run from the wolf's tail." The Chronicle says that "Wolf's Tail" was the name of one of Vladimir's voivodes.

 languagehat.com: POVEST VREMENNYKH LET.
The Russian Primary Chronicle, or Повесть временных лет (Povest' vremennykh let, in traditional orthography Повѣсть временныхъ лѣтъ), is a remarkable document that has always been the basic source for the early history of Russia (or rather Rus, since "Russia" was a much later concept).
Chronicles were written in Church Slavonic in Kievan Russia long before any were written in Italian or French, and are at least as artistic as the equally venerable chronicles composed in Latin and German.
The vivid narrative of men and events in the original "Primary Chronicle" struck the first Western student of Russian chronicles, August Schlözer, as far superior to any in the medieval West, and helped inspire him to become the first to introduce both universal history and Russian history into the curriculum of a modern university.

Of interest to us are two, the Russian Primary Chronicle (or to use its Russian title, The Tale of Bygone Years) and the Chronicle of Novgorod.
In about 1113, Nestor, another monk, is believed to have revised the chronicle, adding an introduction to the work which traces the origin of the Rus' from the Biblical Flood, the founding of Kiev, and the subsequent establishment of the Rus1 state.
The Chronicle of Novgorod contains sparse entries for the first half of the eleventh century, but thereafter contains a lively account of the commercial affairs of the city, details of the weather and harvests, and accounts of political intrigue, some lifted from other chronicles.
