		According to the Primary Chronicle, the earliest chronicle of Kievan Rus′, a Varangian (Viking) named Rurik first established himself in Novgorod, located in modern Russia (he was selected as common ruler by several Slavic and Finno-Ugric tribes) in about 860 before moving south and extending his authority to Kiev.
		The chronicle cites him as the progenitor of the Rurik Dynasty.
		On the northeastern periphery of Kievan Rus', those traditions were adapted to form the legacy that eventually lead to a modern Russian statehood that gradually gravitated towards the Moscow rulers, thus creating the connection between the modern Russia to the historic Rus' through the Vladimir-Suzdal to Muscovy to the Russian Empire.

	Primary Chronicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Russian Primary Chronicle (Russian: Повесть временных лет, Povest' vremennykh let, which is often translated into 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.

	Russian Music before Glinka
		Russian peasant folklore, being modal and often monodic, was generally compatible with the Byzantine chant established by the Church.
		Russian music of the 16th and early 17th centuries was exceedingly modal, and its polyphony lacked harmonic definition (in folk as well as church music), while Ukrainian music preserved these East Slavic traits only in its southeastern and north-central regions close to Kiev.
		There is also the Russian umora (dying from laughter) with its connotation to skomorokhi as the principal bearers of the laughter culture, and the s-m-kh root of the word that comprises the Russian smekh (“laughter”).

		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.

		According to the oft-repeated story in the Russian Primary Chronicle, it was the beauty of the liturgy which attracted the attention of the emissaries of Prince Vladimir of Kiev to Constantinople in the 10th century.
		Because of their refusal to accept the Council of Florence, the Russian bishops had, since 1448, appointed their own Metropolitan; from 1543, with the Fall of Constantinople, Moscow and Constantinople were again in communion, but the Russian Church was now autocephalous.
		Though many have considered the work too "western," it may be considered truly Russian in spirit, and marks the end of the period of German domination and the initiation of the study and recovery of the Russian Church's musical past.

	Russian Primary Chronicle Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		There is no doubt about it, the Russian Primary Chronicle (Povest' vremmennykh let; or Повѣсть временныхъ лѣтъ) is a complicated document; better not to call it "a" document but to understand it as many "documents" all spliced together (not sure if that makes sense).
		The Chronicle dates to the early twelfth century and has often been attributed to Nestor, a learned monk in the Monastery of the Caves in Kiev, but it is also the case that the monk Silvestr added much to Nestor's version; and later chroniclers added still more.
		The Chronicle, which is in the traditional form of recorded entries of what happened in each specific year, remains probably our most important source for the history of early Russian civilization.
