Norway at this time from the scattered parts unites under the leadership of Olaf II, who brings Christianity to the country, thereby turning the property and famous people of Norway against himself, who, having united, overthrow the king. Olaf II will run to Novgorod to Yaroslav the Wise. After "lying down", Olaf returns home to confront the enemies. The king goes into battle with a golden helmet on his head, with a white shield on which there was a golden cross. In his right hand he carried a spear.

1014 summer. Yaroslav, who lives in Novgorod and gives a tribute to Kiiev in 2,000 hryvnias from summer to summer as a lesson, and handed out a thousand to Novgorod gridnyas. And all the princes gave the land of Novgorod in the same way, but Yaroslav this year did not give it to his father in Kiiev. (some believe because there were 2,000 soldiers in Kiiev, and 1,000 in Novgorod, I do not adhere to this opinion, since Kiiev, in difficult moments of his history, received an army to help from Novgorod). And Vladimir said: - "Prepare the way, bridge the bridges." I wanted to go to Yaroslav, his son, only got sick. The conspiracy of the Prince of Turov Svyatopolk Vladimirovich (the Cursed) against his father, the Kiev prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich, is revealed.
1015 summer. Vladimir, who married Svyatopolk, his son and his son Yaropolk, to a Polish princess, imprison him together with his family, "for the intention to convert to the Latin faith." Vladimir wanted to go to Yaroslav, but Yaroslav sent ambassadors across the sea and called on the Varangians, out of fear of his father. But God did not give the devil joy - Vladimir Svyatoslavich fell ill. It was rumored that Boris was his favorite, and sent Boris against the Pechenegs who were going to Russia, and Vladimir himself got sick even more and died in 1015 in the summer of July on the 15th day. His death near Berestovo was concealed, since Svyatopolk was in Kiiev. And at night, a platform was made between the battlements of the fortress, wrapped in a carpet and lowered to the ground on ropes, laid on a sled. They are being taken and placed at the Church of the Holy Mother of God, which he himself created. People saw itthose gathered without number, and the boyars wept for him as the ruler of their land, and the poor as for the breadwinner. They put his body in a marble shrine and enveloped his body with very great weeping. This is the blessed prince Vladimir - the new Constantine of the great Rome, who baptized himself and baptized his people, so this one did the same to him. If before he was in abomination (paganism) for bad lust having desire. But afterwards he was diligent in repentance, as the Apostle says: “Where sin has multiplied, here grace abounds.” For if in ignorance in some way there are sins, at last they are scattered with repentance and mercy, as they say: “In what you judge, in that you are judged”. The prophet also says: "I live, Adonai - Lord, because I do not want the death of the sinner, but turn them from your evil way." For many who do righteousness and who live righteously perish,but to give back to everyone who resists with labor and unspeakable joy, which will be an improvement for all the peasants.
1015 summer. The closest to Kiev was the eldest of the Vladimirovichs - Svyatopolk, born of a Greek woman, the widow of the Kiev prince Yaropolk Svyatoslavovich, who, now a widow, is taken as a concubine by Vladimir, who killed Yaropolk. The Greek woman is pregnant, but Vladimir raised his son Yaropolk as his own. Svyatopolk came out of the dungeon and received approval from the townspeople to reign in Kiev. Svyatopolk mints his own coin, apparently, with already prepared prints, now without the Khazar "trirance", as a sign of the vassal payment of tribute to Khazaria. He did not rule for long, until the autumn of 1016 summer.
About the murder of Boris and Gleb. Svyatopolk sat in Kiiev after the death of his stepfather Vladimir and summoned the princes and began to distribute estates to them. They accepted, but their hearts were not with him, since their brothers were with Boris, who returns from the war without a collision with the Pechenegs, since the message comes to him: "Your father is dead." He cried for his father, for he was very loved by his father, and Alt comes more than anyone else: - “The father’s squad decided“Here, you have a father’s squad and an innumerable army. Rather, go and sit in Kiiev on the paternal table”. Boris said: “I will not be able to take and raise my hand against my elder brother. If my father died, then this one will replace my father. Having heard this, they parted in different directions and Boris remained with his youth. Svyatopolk, being filled with lawlessness, accepts the intent of the Cains and sends an ambassador to Boris, saying:- “I want to have love with you and as a father I will accept you,” - with flattery to him, as if to destroy. Svyatopolk comes to Vyshgorod at night, secretly summoning Putsha, the boyar of Vyshegorod, and says to them: - "Take me with all your heart." Putsha and the boyars of the Vyshegorodskiye also say: - "Can lay down their heads for you." He says to them: "Without telling anyone, go and kill my brother Boris." They promised to create everything soon. About such Solomon said: “The soul is quick to shed blood, those are the bases of truth, for they promise to collect evil blood for themselves. The essence of these paths end in lawlessness, wickedness will destroy their soul. " The messengers come to Alto Pole at night and, approaching closer, heard the voice of the blessed Boris singing the morning one, for there was news to him that they wanted to kill, and, having risen, began to sing: “Lord, those opposing me are multiplying, many have rebelled against me. Many talk about my soul. " And more:"Your arrows pierce me, only I am ready for my wounds, I will take out my diseases in front of me." And he said more: "Lord, hear my prayer, inspire my prayer with Thy truth, hear me with Thy righteousness, do not enter into judgment with Thy servant, for everyone living will not be justified before You, that the enemy has driven my soul." He finished the psalm and saw those sent to destroy him, and began to sing the psalter, saying: “The fat calves have gone around me, and the assembly of the evil ones besiege me. Lord - my God, I put my trust in you, save me and deliver me from all who persecute me. " Then he began to sing the canon, only after finishing the matins, he prayed, he says, looking at the icon of the image of Vladimir: - “Lord, Jesus Christ, who in this way appeared on Earth for our salvation, he deigned to be nailed on the cross by his will, who accepted his passion by his will, because of our sins. And let me be able to accept the passion. I accept all this not from opponents, but from my brother, and do not do him, Lord, in this sin. " And having prayed to Him, he lay down on his bed. And so, they attacked like wild beasts near the tent, and thrust their spears into the tent, and pierced Boris, attacking him and his servant, who was loved by Boris. This youth is the son of Ugoresk by the name of Yurgi, Boris loved him very much and laid a great gold hryvnia on him, and served in it before him. They beat the youth George a lot, because they could not remove this hryvnia quickly from his neck and cut off his head. Therefore, they could not later find his head with a corpse. The cursed killing Boris, they wrapped him in a tent, laid him on a wagon, and carried him still breathing. The Cursed Svyatopolk saw this, who was still breathing, and sent two Varangians to finish him off. They come and see that he is still alive and one of them draws a sword and pierces the heart. This is how the blessed Boris died, who received the crown from God Christ was numbered among the righteous, among the prophets and apostles, with the faces of martyrs, rested in Abraham's bosom, resting, seeing unspeakable joy. Sings with the Angels to have fun with the faces of the Saints. They put his body and secretly bring it to Vyshgorod to the Church of St. Basil. Damned murderers come to Svyatopolk and the lawless ones had praise. The names of these criminals are: Putsha, Talets, Olovits, Lyashko and their father Satan. The demon has such servants, for they are sent for evil by demons. Angels are sent for the good, for the Angel will not do evil to man, he always thinks for the good, but he helps the peasants more from the opposite enemy - the devil. And demons always catch evil, out of envy towards him, because they see a person worshiped by God, and envious of him, they will soon push him towards evil. For God said: "… who is going to deceive Ahab?"- and the demon said: - "Here I go." An evil person strives for evil, it is no better to eat a demon. Demons fear God, but an evil person is not afraid of God, or a person is not ashamed. Demons are afraid of the Lord's cross, but an evil person is not afraid of the Lord's cross. David said in the same way: "If you speak to yourself the right, the right to judge the sons of men, for in your heart you do iniquity on earth, your hands are intertwined, destruction was to sinners from falsehood, those who lost their way from the womb speaking false, the rage is in the image of a serpent." The accursed Svyatopolk conceived in himself says: “Here, I have already killed Boris. How to kill Gleb? " He accepted Cain's thought, sent him with authority to Gleb, saying this: “Go quickly, your father is calling you, he is not very well”. Gleb rather mounts a horse with a small retinue, for he was obedient to his father and loved by his father. On horseback he comes to the Volga and the horse stumbled in the ditch,hurt my legs a little. Comes to Smolensk and goes from Smolensk, since the construction site of ships on Smyadyn was close. At this time, news came to Yaroslav from Predslava about the death of his father. Yaroslav sends to Gleb, saying: "The father died, and your brother was killed by Svyatopolk." Hearing this, Gleb cried out with tears, crying for his father more than for his brother, and began praying with tears, saying: “Alas, Lord, it is better for me to die with my brother than to live in a deluded world. If I were alive, my dear brother, I would see your angelic face, then how much I have comprehended, it is better for me to die with you! Lord - my God, now what will I create ?! Touched and alienated from Your kindness and from my father of many kindness. ABOUT! My most honest Lord and dear brother, if now you have received boldness from the Lord, pray for my despondency, so that I too may be able to accept the same passion and live with you,rather than in this deluded light. " And then to him, crying and crying and sighing with tears, washing himself, and often calling upon God, evil servants suddenly sent from Svyatopolk came to him. Holy one. Walking in the ship, passed the mouth of the Smyadyn river, when the accursed got on the ship. The cook of Prince Gleb, named Torchin, took a knife and killed Gleb soon, like a gentle lamb, in September on the 5th day. A pure sacrifice was brought and ascended to the heavenly abodes to the Lord, and she saw the brother he desired, and took the imperishable crown. The cursed murderer has returned and comes to the one who sent him. So he said to Svyatopolk that: - "You have made your command." Hearing this, he rejoiced in soul and heart. The killed and defeated Gleb was put in that place between two decks, as David said: "The Lord keeps all their bones, and not one of them will be broken",- and this Saint will lie for a long time and will not remain ignorant and neglected from others. Then a visible pillar of fire appeared, like a burning candle, and soon the angelic singing was heard by passing merchants, as well as hunters and shepherds. Those who saw and heard all this did not have in their memory a single one of them about the search for the body of the Holy One. For everyone clearly saw that he was killed in Smolensk, but did not know where he was laid. Then they remembered how they saw a great light in a desert place, like a burning candle. And those who heard that, sent to look for the body of the Saint with an honest cross, and they find him in the place where they saw the fire. They bring him and put him in Vyshegorod, where the body of blessed Boris lies. They dug up the earth and laid a blessed and holy body there, beautiful and honest.

Svyatoslav II Drevlyansky - the son of Vladimir from a Czech concubine, sensed something was wrong, trying to flee to his mother's homeland in the Czech Republic, but was intercepted by the people of Svyatopolk and there was a battle in which Svyatoslav and his seven children were killed, allegedly on the orders of Svyatopolk. There is some misunderstanding, since it was easier to flee to Novgorod, to unite with Yaroslav against Svyatopolk, but for some reason runs through the lands of Svyatopolk, apparently Yaroslav did not have confidence in this struggle for the throne. Everything went well for Yaroslav.
1016 summer. Yaroslav Vladimirovich (the Wise) Prince of Novgorod opposes Svyatopolk. There was a three-month stand on the Dnieper near the city of Lyubech, so Yaroslav's defensive positions were more advantageous when attacking him. Having weakened the enemy by standing on Lyubech, the prince of Novgorod Yaroslav Vladimirovich Svyatopolk overcomes. And the "Cursed" runs to the Lyakhs - to Poland to his father-in-law Boleslav the Brave. There his father-in-law helps with the army. In Novgorod then Yaroslav fed many Varangians, waiting for the war. But the Varangians began to make their wives married with violence. The Novgorodians said: “We cannot look at this violence,” and they gathered at night and excised the Varyags in the Poramonov yard. Prince Yaroslav himself then - that night was on Rakom. And hearing this, Prince Yaroslav was angry with the townspeople and gathered a thousand glorious soldiers and seduced them. They excised some, as the Varangians were excised,others fled the city. And on the same night from Kiiev, Yaroslav Preslav's sister sent him a message, saying: "Your father is dead, and your brothers are beaten." And hearing this, Yaroslav until the morning gathers the Novgorodians who remained and created veche with them on the field, addressing them: “The beloved and honest squad, whom you excised yesterday in my madness, will not be offended, we will pay off with gold”. And so he says to Novgorodians: - “Brothers! My father Vladimir is dead, and Svyatopolk reigns in Kiiev. I want to go to him, help me. " And the Novgorodians said to him: "We are the prince, we are following you." And he gathered 4,000 soldiers. The Varangians were a thousand and the Novgorodians were 3,000. And Svyatopolk went against him, and hearing this, he gathered innumerable soldiers. Goes out against him to Lyubech and sat there on the field with many soldiers. Yaroslav comes on ships along the Dnieper and stood here for three months,not daring to come together in battle. Voivode Svyatopolk - Wolf Tail, which is always near his hand, began to reproach Novgorodtsev: - "Why did they come with the lame one, and you are all carpenters, so we will assign you mansions to cut." The Dnieper began to freeze. And Yaroslav had a friend who served with Svyatopolk and sent his youth to him at night. He turns to him: - "According to what you command to do, little has been done for honey, but there are many squads." He answered: - "Tell Yaroslav this way: -" Yes, there is still not enough honey, but there are many squads, but they will give it by evening. " Enlightened Yaroslav that in the night he ordered to attack. Soon that evening, Yaroslav transports to the other side of the Dnieper and pushes the boats away from the shore. And that same night they went to battle. And Yaroslav said to the squad: - "Show yourself, tie your heads with towels." And there was a wicked slaughter, and many who raised their hands were killed and blood flowed down the valley. Many Orthodox Christians saw that the Angels of God helped Yaroslav and defeated Svyatopolk before the daylight. And Svyatopolk fled to the Pechenegs, and there was a border between the Czechs and the Lyakhs, and the persecuted cursed disappeared by them, and by this they ended their belly and the memory of that still exists to this day. And Yaroslav goes to Kiiev, sat down on the table of his father Vladimir, and soon began to share his trophies: the elders for 10 hryvnias, the stinkers for the hryvnia, and the Novgorodians for 10 hryvnias. And he sent them all to their homes, giving them the law and regulations, so saying to them: - "According to this letter, walk, that you wrote to you, and hold on."and soon he began to share his trophies: the elders for 10 hryvnias, the peasants for the hryvnia, and the Novgorodians for 10 hryvnia. And he sent them all to their homes, giving them the law and regulations, so saying to them: - "According to this letter, walk, that you wrote to you, and hold on."and soon he began to share his trophies: the elders for 10 hryvnias, the peasants for the hryvnia, and the Novgorodians for 10 hryvnia.

Schism (Great Schism) of the Christian Church into Western-Catholic and Eastern-Orthodox. Rome becomes the center of the Catholic faith (Western), and Constantinople becomes the Orthodox.
1054 summer. February month. The beginning of the reign of Izyaslav in Kiiev until 1068 summer.
The first appearance on the Russian land of the Polovtsy, led by Khan Bolush. The prince of Pereyaslavl Vsevolod Yaroslavich concluded a peace treaty with the Polovtsians, and they returned home. The constant raids of the Polovtsy on the Russian land began in the summer of 1061.
The beginning of the reign in Tmutorokan of Gleb Svyatoslavich - the son of the Vladimir prince Svyatoslav Yaroslavich.
The Polovtsian Hordes were led by khans. Traditionally the word “kan” or “khan” was added to their names (Tugorkan, Sharukan). Kureni, which consisted of ordinary soldiers, were headed by heads whose names ended with the addition of the words "opa", "both", "epa". Other social categories recorded in the Russian annals were the so-called "prisoners" and "servants". There were also "chagi" - female servants. The Kolodniks were prisoners of war who performed the functions of domestic slaves among the Polovtsians and were at the lowest rung of the social ladder. The heads of large families, "koshes", which belonged to the kurens, were called "koshes". Kurens consisted of families-auls, or, in Russian, "kosha" (from the Türks. "Kosh", "kosh" - nomadic, nomadic), which, in turn, consisted of representatives of 2-3 generations and servants (prisoners of war, ruined relatives and tribesmen). In terms of quantitative parameters, rich auls could not be inferior to kurens. In the XII century, the aul became the main unit of the Polovtsian society. Auls could be at different levels of the hierarchical ladder for different reasons (wealth or belonging to the clan aristocracy). The auls united in hordes at the congresses of the koshevoy by giving the head ("koshevoy") of the most powerful and influential family (and at the same time the kuren) power over all other families. The auls united in hordes at the congresses of the koshevoy by giving the head ("koshevoy") of the most powerful and influential family (and at the same time the kuren) power over all other families. The auls united in hordes at the congresses of the koshevoy by giving the head ("koshevoy") of the most powerful and influential family (and at the same time the kuren) power over all other families.
The heads of the hordes were the khans, who, by tradition, were also the heads of certain kurens. According to S. Pletneva, the size of an ordinary horde did not exceed 40,000 people (whereas, in the principalities of Rus' average in terms of population, for example, Ryazan, there were about 100,000 people). In the first half of the XII century, there were about 12-15 Polovtsian hordes. From 480 thousand to 600 thousand. The size of the land ownership of the nomad camps of each Polovtsian horde did not exceed 70-100 thousand square meters. km. The need to conduct effective military operations against Russia, Byzantium and Bulgaria led to the emergence of the unions of hordes among the Polovtsi, which were large political associations. At the congress of the nobility, the head of such a union was elected, who was called a kakhan or kagan ("khan of khans"). A lot of power was concentrated in his hands: the right to make peace, organize raids and campaigns.
Their first appearance at the Russian borders dates back to 1055 years. Izyaslav came and sat in Kiiev, and Svyatoslav in Chernigov, Vsevolod in Pereyaslavl, Igor in Vladimir, Vyacheslav in Smolensk. That summer, the Polovtsian Khan Bolush with a horde entered the boundaries of the Pereyaslavl principality and was greeted by the Pereyaslavl squad with Prince Vsevolod Yaroslavovich at the head, and Vsevolod made a peace treaty with them. The meeting was held peacefully - after exchanging gifts, the parties went their own way. Polovtsy returned back where they came from. At that time, the Polovtsians were not yet looking for a military confrontation with the Russian principalities, as they continued to fight in the steppe with representatives of the local steppe peoples. But after a short time, the situation changed in 1061 summer.
At the age of seven, there was slander against Bishop Luka from his servant Dudika, and he leaves Novgorod and goes to Kiiev and Metropolitan Ephraim sat there and stayed there for three years.
1056 summer. Vyacheslav, the son of Yaroslav, died in Smolensk and Igor was imprisoned in Smolensk, and he was taken out of Vladimir. Creation of the Ostromir Gospel, which was written for the thousand-man Ostromir.
1057 summer. Death of the fourth Yaroslavich Vyacheslav Smolensky
1058 children. Izyaslav won the Golyad nationality.
Golyad (Old Russian. Golad) is a Balto-speaking tribe that, according to ancient Russian written sources of the 11th-12th centuries, lived in the upper reaches of the Protva River (on the territory of modern Moscow, Smolensk and Kaluga regions), between the lands of Vyatichi and Krivichi. Archaeologically, they are related to the Moschinskaya culture. The name of the tribe (ethnonym) is identical to the Galindam. Note to everyone: that is how peoples disappeared.
In the same summer, Archbishop Luke received his church and flock in Novgorod and the entire region. The slave Duditsa emasculated, cut off his nose and both hands, and he ran to the foreigners.
1059 summer. Izyaslav, Svyatoslav and Vsevolod freed their prince Sudislav, an orderly, from prison, who had been sitting there for 24 years, and bring him to his family and to the cross, and he became a monk-monk.
1060 summer. Igor Smolensky, the youngest son of Yaroslav, died. In the same summer, Izyaslav, Svyatoslav, Vsevolod and Vseslav united their countless troops and went on horses and in boats countless numbers to Torkov. In 985, the Torki mercenaries took part in the campaign of Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich against the Bulgar and Khazars. At the beginning of the 11th century, pressed by the Polovtsy from the east, Torki migrated to the Dnieper, where they encountered Russia. In 1055, Prince Vsevolod went to them to protect the Pereyaslavl land. Hearing this, Torquay “fearing, ran, and to this day. And the fleeing, persecuted, died out, some from winter cold, others from hunger, others from pestilences. " So God delivered the peasants from the filthy pagans. Looking ahead … In 1121, Vladimir drove the Berendey people from the territory of Russia, and Torki and Pechenegs fled themselves. As early as the 11th century, part of Torkov occupied the area along the Ros River (below the site of the ancient city of Kiiev, founded by Kiy) and submitted to the local princes. The center of these semi-sedentary Torcs was the city of Torchesk. Another group of Torks settled on the left bank of the Dnieper, recognizing the power of the Pereyaslavl prince. According to the news of the XII century, these Torquay occupied the area near the city of Barucha. Part of Torquay crossed the Danube and became Byzantine citizens. Settled in Porus and Pereyaslavshchina Torki became part of the vassal association of the Türkic tribes called "Black hoods". Torquay as part of the "Black Hoods" took part in protecting the borders from the Polovtsi, in the military campaigns of the Kiev princes.

Back to our topic.
Then Izyaslav went to Sosoly and ordered the tribute to be given at 2,000 hryvnias. They vouched, but then the tribute collectors were driven out. In the spring comes and fought a village near the city of Yuriev. He burned the city and mansions and did a lot of evil, reached P (le) skova, fighting. P (le) skoviches and Novgorodians went out to meet them for battle and 1,000 fell near Russia, and Sosolov was countless. “Why count their bassoons!”
1061 summer. The first invasion of the Polovtsy on the Russian land. Vsevolod comes out to meet them in the month of February on the second day and fought with them. Vsevolod Yaroslavovich was defeated by the Polovtsian Khan Iskala. Sokal was their leader. The Pereyaslavl land was devastated. Having defeated Vsevolod, the Polovtsians withdrew. This was the first evil from the filthy pagans - the enemies of the godless.
1062 - 1072 HP Stay at the Kiev Metropolitan See of George.
1062 - 1074 summer. Abbess in the Kiev-Pechersky Monastery of Theodosius of the Caves. (Pecher-caves).
This is who really amazed me: he lies in an open coffin, as if he had died a day ago. And he is transferred three times over the summer in an open coffin from the cathedral, where he lies in other churches of Chernigov
1063 summer (6571 l). Sudislav died, Yaroslav - his brother buried Sudislav in the Church of St. George. This summer in Novgorod the Volkhov's tide went backwards and this sign was not good. On the fourth summer Vsevolod burned down the city. The flooding in the shores of present-day St. Petersburg was apparently a record one, if Lake Ladoga overflowed its banks and went back along the Volkhov rapids. In those times
1064 summer. Rostislav, son of Vladimir, grandson of Yaroslav and nephew of Svyatoslav Yaroslavich, flees to Tymutorokan (Kerch), and Leo Vyshata (Myshata?), Son of Ostromir, the governor of Novgorod, runs with him. (the "Ostromir Gospel" was written for him), comes and drives Gleb Svyatoslavich out of Tmutorokan, and he sits down in his place. Reflection by the Kiev prince Izyaslav Yaroslavich of the Polovtsian raid near the city of Snovsk.
1065 summer. Svyatoslav Yaroslavich is going to Rostislav, the son of Vladimir - the grandson of Yaroslav in Tmutarakan. Rostislav left the city, not afraid of him, but did not want to take weapons against the formation. Svyatoslav came to Tmutorokan and planted his son Gleb Svyatoslavovich again, returning again. Rostislav again comes and drives Gleb to his father and sits down in Tmutorokan. This summer Vseslav began to collect his army. At this time, there was a sign in the west: a gigantic star, having the appearance of a bloody moon, rose from evening until sunset and stayed seven days. This manifestation is not good, after which there were many civil strife and the invasion of the rotten on the Russian land. It was a bloody star, prophesying bloodshed. At this time, the "brainchild" was thrown into Setoml. First, this "brainchild" was pulled by the fishermen with a net,he was guarded until evening and afterwards they threw him into the water, because the brainchild of that child had shameful parts on his face, and it was impossible to say anything else because of the shame. Before this time, the Sun also changed and it was not light during the day, like the month was. Those who did not know said that it was eaten. These are bad signs, for we all understand that in ancient times, under Antiochus in Jerusalem, a hail suddenly happened for 40 days, appeared to them in the air on roaring horses, with weapons and golden clothes, shelves hung with weapons, moving. This was a manifestation of the attack of Antiochus, the invasion of the rati on Jerusalem. After, under Nero in Jerusalem, the star of the spear image shone over the city. This also foreshadowed the finding of rati from the Romans. And again it was under Caesar: a star shone in the west, emitting rays, she was nicknamed "shining" and her shine was 20 days. After that, the stars were moving from evening to morning, so it seemed to everyone that the stars would fall, and again the Sun shone without rays. This is the prediction of sedition, a human disease, and many died. Also, under Mauritius, Caesar was like this: a woman gave birth to a child without eyes and without arms, instead of legs, a fish's tail grew, and the dog was born about 6 legs, in Africa two children were born, one about 4 legs, and the other about two heads … After that, it was under Constantine the iconoclast son of Leon: there was a stellar current in heaven, everyone on earth was horrified, since they saw their death in this. They thought then they had come to an end. Then the air rose (tornado) in great numbers. And in Syria there was a great earthquake, the earth parted into three fields. And then an amazing human mask came out of the earth, speaking with a voice, preaching inspiration in the language of what would happen:“The Saracens will come to the Palestinian land. The same signs that are in the heavens, or in the stars, or on the Sun, birds or some individually, for which there is no good. It happens for evil, or the prediction of war, hunger or death predicts.
Now it is attributed to genetic experiments and weather weapons. Does this mean that the science of genetics existed before the birth of Academician Vavilov?
1064 summer. Reflection by the Kiev prince Izyaslav Yaroslavovich of the Polovtsian raid near the city of Snovsk.
1065 l. Death of the Tmutorokan prince Rostislav Vladimirovich.
6574 l. BC. 1066 l. Vseslav comes and took Novgorod, with his wives and children. He removed the bells from the Hagia Sophia. Oh, great was the trouble at that hour Rostislav, who lives in Tmutarakan, and who has a tribute from Kasogov and from other countries. The Greeks were wary of this and sent a catopan with deception. He came to Rostislav with a retinue and trusted him and honored him Rostislav. Once, when Rostislav was feasting with his retinue, the katopan would say: “Prince, I want to drink for you.” He answered: - "Drink." He drank half, and the second part he gives the prince to drink, dipping his finger in wine, for he had mortal dissolution under the nail. Gave the prince and doomed to death on the eighth day. Katopan comes to Korsun and told that Rostislav would die in these days. And so it was. This katopan was stoned by the Korsun people. Rostislav was a good husband for wars, good age, a red face and merciful to the poor. He died in the month of February on the 3rd day and was put there in the church of the "Holy Mother of God". With this, Prince Gleb Svyatoslavich returns to Tmutorokan.
1067 summer. Vyacheslav (Vseslav), the son of Bryachislav, the prince of Polotsk fought for Novgorod with Yaroslav. The other three: Izyaslav, Svyatoslav and Vsevolod Yaroslavich, united by an army, go to Vseslav in winter and come to Minsk. The people of Minsk closed themselves in the city. But these brothers took Minsk, excised the husbands, and took their wives and children on a shield (captivity). They go to Nemiga in the month of March on the 3rd day. The snow was great. He went out against his brothers and defeated Izyaslav, Svyatoslav and Vsevolod of his brother. Vseslav fled. The Yaroslavich brothers defeated the Polovtsian prince in the battle on the Nemiga River. (Maybe "Neminga"? Then Mingan or Minskans). After that, in the month of July, on the 10th day, Izyaslav, Svyatoslav and Vsevolod kissed the "honest cross before Vseslav," saying: "Come to us and we will not do evil." He, hoping for the "kissing" of the cross, arrived in boats across the Dnieper. Izyaslav entered the tent in front, walking,Vseslav enters after him, so Vseslav was taken from (O) Rshi near Smolensk - "having crossed the kiss of the cross." Izyaslav brings Vseslav to Kiev and puts him in the woods with his two sons. The historian, apparently, does not understand that the brothers did not violate the kissing, since they did not commit “evil” or “murder”. The cut is not even a dungeon, but a house, although we do not move.
In September 1068, the Polovtsy defeated the Yaroslavich army in the battle on the Alta River and ravaged the border lands. After that, the military campaigns of the Polovtsians on the Russian lands (often in alliance with one of the Russian princes) acquired a regular character.
To understand what is happening further, it is necessary to explain that Minsk was not the capital of the Polovtsi, but only a trophy, while the prince himself fled to his people. The wrath of God was: foreigners came to the land of Minsk - Polovtsy in multitude. Izyaslav, Svyatoslav and Vsevolod go out against them on Alta, 50 versts from Kiev. At night, they went against themselves: “because of our sins, God allowed enemies to come upon us,” and the Russian princes fled and defeated the Russian land of the Polovtsi. For God leads the filthy in his anger, foreigners to the earth, to their contrition, "will be remembered by God." Internecine war comes from the wiles of the devil. God does not want evil between people, but only good. And the devil rejoices at evil murder, bloodshed, inciting quarrels, envy, fratricide, slander. On Earth, anyone who likes to sin, God punishes by death or hunger, or by guiding the invasion of filthy pagans, or with a bucket,or a caterpillar, or other executions (Egyptian). If those who repented, God already orders us to live in Him, telling us through the prophet: “Turn to me with all your heart - fasting, prayer and weeping,” and let us do it all over this, everyone's sin will be forgiven. But we return to evil, like pigs wallow in feces and remain in that. In the same way, the prophet tells us: “Let us understand that Thy strength is also on an iron neck Thy hand. For this, the rain kept us from us, covered the other land with rains, and You struck everyone with heat and various executions. If so, do not turn to Me, "says the Lord," then, for this, you have dried up your vineyards and your figs, and your fields, and your oak groves, "says the Lord," but I could not erase your malice. He sent against you various misfortunes and diseases, grievous deaths; He sent His execution to your cattle. But you have not turned to Me like that, you will not say:"The husband is in me." Until you are satisfied with your malice. You have deviated from My way - being tempted by many. For this, I will be a swift Witness against those who resist and those who commit adultery, and those who swear by My name, and those who deprive wages of hired laborers, rape orphans and widows, and tilt the court curve. Why do you not restrain yourself from your sins, but reject My Laws and keep them? Turn to Me - I will turn to you, "says the Lord," and I will open the abyss of heaven to you and return My anger from you, until everything is abundant for you and you have your vineyards and fields. But you gather heavy words against Me, saying: "Working in vain for God," - with the same lips they honor Me. When your heart is far from Me,”says the Lord,“for the sake of this we ask, without exposing it. When you call on Me, I will not listen to you. Seek to Me in evil times and you will not find it. For they did not want to walk in My ways …”We accept this for the sake of execution, all kinds of executions from God for our sins. And we accept military invasions at God's command. We will return to the present, since Izyaslav and Vsevolod ran to Kiev, and Svyatoslav to Chernigov. The people of Kiev came running to Kiev and created a veche in the marketplace and said, sending to the prince: “Here, the Polovtsi have dispersed throughout the land, give the prince, weapons and horses, and we will fight them again.” Izyaslav did not listen to this and began to urge people to go to the voivode Kosnyach. They go up the mountain and come to the courtyard of Kosnyachev, and they find him standing by the courtyard of Bryachislavov and say: - "Let's go, let us release our squad from the cellar." And two were divided: half of them goes to the cellar, and half goes to the bridge. Others come to the princely court and began to argue with the prince standing below. Izyaslav was sitting in the entryway with his squad watching from the window, while the squad stood behind the prince. And brother Chyudin Izyaslav said to Tuky: - "You see, prince, people are angry already, they went to receive Vyacheslav." And so, he was told, - "The other half of the people come from the cellar, opening it." And the squad said to the prince: “All evil is. Send a message to Vsevolod, and when you call to the window, we will pierce him with a sword. " The prince did not listen to him. And people, calling on others, go to the felling of Vseslav. Seeing this, Izyaslav and Vseslav flee from the prince's court. And the princely court fled, having taken innumerable numbers of gold, silver and coons. Izyaslav runs to Lyakham. Then the Polovtsians fought throughout the Russian land. For Svyatoslav, who lives in Chernigov, the Polovtsi came to fight in Chernigov. Then Svyatoslav gathered a small squad and went out to them to the city of Snovsk. The Polovtsi saw the marching soldiers and lined up against them. Svyatoslav saw all the multitude of them and said to his squad: “We will serve, otherwise we cannot. Where to go? " And they hit them. And Svyatoslav defeated them with three thousand, when the Polovtsy were 12 thousand, some were beaten, others drowned in the river Snov. And the prince took them to Sharakan on the 1st day of November. And Svyatoslav returned with full to his city. Vseslav Sed is in Kiev. It was God who revealed Christian power. Since Izyaslav kissed an honest cross and showed treason, God brought the filthy people. To the same he showed deliverance from kissing the Honorable Cross. For, on the day of the Exaltation of the Cross, Vseslav, sighing, said: - “Oh! The Most Holy Cross, because I believed in you, delivered me from this "pit". " God showed the power of the peasants for the repentance of the Russian land, so that they do not cross the Honorable Cross, if they cross kissing, then they will be executed here. And in the previous veche there is an eternal execution. For,if there is the power of the great godmother, then demonic powers are defeated by the cross. The cross, for with the prince in battles, for those who are protected by the cross, receive the faithful adversaries of the opposite, the cross soon relieves from adversity, who call him with faith. And all the demons are afraid of him. Only the cross, for there are still dreams that signify from demons, they are driven away by the sight of the cross. And Vseslav was in Kiiev for seven months. In 1792, soldiers will find a stone with the inscription: "In the summer of 6576 (1065 liters) indicta 6, Gleb the prince measured the sea on ice from Tmutorokan 'to Krchev (Kerch even earlier than Panticopeia) 10,000 and 4,000 fathoms." (14,000 fathoms)for there are still dreams from demons that signify, they are driven away by the sight of the cross. And Vseslav was in Kiiev for seven months. In 1792, soldiers will find a stone with the inscription: "In the summer of 6576 (1065 liters) indicta 6, Gleb the prince measured the sea on ice from Tmutorokan 'to Krchev (Kerch even earlier than Panticopeia) 10,000 and 4,000 fathoms." (14,000 fathoms)for there are still dreams from demons that signify, they are driven away by the sight of the cross. And Vseslav was in Kiiev for seven months. In 1792, soldiers will find a stone with the inscription: "In the summer of 6576 (1065 liters) indicta 6, Gleb the prince measured the sea on ice from Tmutorokan 'to Krchev (Kerch even earlier than Panticopeia) 10,000 and 4,000 fathoms." (14,000 fathoms) This will give historians an understanding of the ancient fathoms - about 1.5 meters or 21 km.), And also that the Kerch Strait froze in winter.
On March 3, 1067, during the uprising, the captive Vseslav Bryachislavovich Polovsky was released from prison and put on the table in Kiev. Bryachislav = To proclaim glory.
From the summer of 1068 on September 15, the reign until April 1069 of the summer of Vseslav Bryachislavovich Polotsky - the only representative of the Polovtsian branch of Rurikovich on the Kiev table. When Izyaslav's troops approached Kiev, he flees with Polish troops to his native Polotsk.
1069 l. April month. Izyaslav comes with Borislav and Lyakhi to Vseslav. Vseslav comes out against. Vseslav comes to Belgorod, but that night, hiding, the prince fled from Belgorod to Polotsk in Pogorie (settlement on a hill) Podolsk. Until the morning already, people saw the flight of the prince, and returned to Kiev and created a veche. They send them to Svyatoslav and Vsevolod, saying: “We have already done evil, we drove out our prince, who led the Lyakht land against us. You go to your father's city. If you don’t want to, then we are in bondage. Having lit our city, let us retreat to the Greek land. " And Svyatoslav answered them: “Now I will send to my brother, but if he goes against you with the Lyakhi to destroy you, then I will go out against him in an army, not allowing him to destroy his father's cities. And if he wants in peace, he will come in a small squad. " Kiievites consoled themselves. Svyatoslav and Vsevolod sent to Izyaslav to say:“Vseslav fled from you, and you don’t take Lyakhov to Kiiev, you don’t have anything contrary to it. And if you want to have anger, to destroy the city, then you know that we are sorry for you, that the table was taken away. " Having heard that, Izyaslav left Lyakhov, goes with Borislav, with a small number of Lyakhov. He sends before him his son Mstislav to Kiev. Mstislav came, killing all those who were with Vseslav, numbering 70 people, and blinded others, ruined others without guilt on their part, without even experiencing them. To Izyaslav, who was walking towards the city with a bow, the people of Kiev received their prince. And Izyaslav sat on the table in his month of May on the 2nd day, 1069 summer and ruled until March 1073 summer. At the beginning of his reign, he dismissed Lyakhov for food and beat Lyakhov in secret. Boreslav returned to his land. Izyaslav took a bargain on the mountain and drove Vseslav out of Polotsk, and put Mstislav, his son, in Polotsk, where he soon died there. And they put in his place his brother Svyatopolk to Vseslav who had escaped.
1070 summer. A son will be born to Vsevolod and they named him Rostislav. In the same summer, the Church of St. Michael was laid in the Vsevolozhsky monastery in Kiev.
Saint Leonty enters the episcopal see in Rostov. There are still many pagans here, but there was no princely power in the city and he had to apply Christianization by admonition. His perseverance arouses the indignation of the Magi, who drive him out of the city. Then the bishop settles in a small cell by the stream and eventually builds a church on this place. Here he brings children closer to him, bringing them the word of God. Through resistance and assault, adults come to him and get baptized. The saint was martyred in 1073.
In the same year, in the fall of October 23rd (day) on St. James - the brother of the Lord, on Friday, at the hour of the 6th day, everyone again comes … to Novgorod. The Novgorodians set up a regiment against them at the Menagerie on the Klyazma. And God helped Gleb the prince of Novgorod. Great was the slaughter with Vozhyanam and a great multitude of them fell. The prince himself was released "for God's sake." And in the morning the inhabitants of Vladimir found the "honest cross" at St. Sophia in Novgorod, under Bishop Fyodor.
1071 l. The Pecherskaya Church (caves inside the mountain) was founded by Abbot Theodosius. Polovtsi fought at Rostovtsa and at Niyatin. Vseslav de expelled Svyatopolk from Polotsk that summer. And in the same summer, Yaropolk defeated Vseslav at Golottsk. At the same time, the sorcerer came, deceived by a demon, comes to Kiiev, saying that “five Bosei appeared to me, saying this:“Tell people that the Dnieper will flow back in the fifth summer, and the lands will transcend to other places: what stood on the Greek land, then to the Russian land, and from the Russian land to the Greek land. And other lands will change. " They listened to him not accepting, the Orthodox and laughed, saying to him: "The demon is playing with you for your destruction." It was also for him: one of the nights he disappeared without a trace. Demons, inciting to evil, lead. After that they scoff, rushing into the mortal abyss, learning to speak,everything that demonic teaching and action will say. And the former one of the poverty in the Rostov region revolted two wise men from Yaroslavl, saying that "we know who keeps abundance in himself." And then they walk along the Volga, where they come to the churchyard, and here they called the best wives and said that “this wife keeps her livestock, this is honey, and this one is fish, and this one is bark. And they brought their sisters and mothers and their wives to the Magi, whom they cut into punishment by their seduction and took away either a crop, or a fish or a squirrel, and killed many wives and took their estates upon themselves. They came to Belo-Lake and they had 300 people. At that time it happened to come from Svyatoslav Yan to the son of Vyshata to collect tribute. The residents of Beloozero told him that "we have two magicians and beat many wives along the Volga, along the Sheksna (Vologda region) and now they have come here to our land." Yan, having tested whose smerds are, and knowing for sure,that in essence they belong to Prince Svyatoslav, then he sent them to them and told what two magicians had done. "Give me the same magi, since they are the essence of the stink * of my prince." (Smerd is a man of low origin, he differed from a free man in that he could not enter the military service.) They did not listen to him. Yang, however, walks without a weapon and his youth advises him: "Do not go without a weapon, they will humiliate you." He orders his youths to take weapons and there were 12 with him, the youths all go with him to the forest. The youths of the sorcerers lined up against Jan and walk with an ax, three husbands came out from them. They come to Jan and tell him so: “You see that you are going to die. Do not go". He orders to beat them, and goes to the others. They jumped out at Jan and one of them rushed at Jan with an ax. Jan turned the ax and struck with the butt, and then ordered the youths to flog them,but they fled into the forest and killed priest Yanov there. Jan comes to the city of Belo-Ozero and says to them: “If I don’t catch this sorcerer, I won’t leave you during the summer.” The people of Beloozero go, take them and bring them to Yan. And he says to them: "Why did they destroy so many people?" They answer, like this: “They are holding back the abundant (harvest). If we exterminate and beat these, it will be fruitful, if you want, then we will pull out a grain or a fish or something else in front of you. " Jan says to them: - “Truly he did a lie! For there is a God in man, who lives by the harvest from the earth, made up of bones and sinews and blood. And there is nothing in him and no one knows, only God alone knows. " They say: - "We know how a person is made." He says: - "How?" They say: - “God washed in the bathhouse and sweating, shook off a rag and overthrew it from Heaven to Earth. Satan argued with God - who would create man out of him,and the devil created man, and God put his soul into him, so that if a man dies and the body goes into the earth, then the soul goes to God. " And Jan says: “By deception you are a devil. Which Bozi do you believe? " They also said: "To the Antichrist." Does he tell them? - "Where is that?" They answer: - "Sits in the abyss." “So what kind of boss is he if he sits in the abyss ?! That is, the demon! And there is God, Sitting on the throne of Heaven, glorified by the Angels, who stand in His service with fear, unable to look at Him. Of these Angels, one was overthrown and you call him Antichrist (against Christ), because of his pride he was overthrown from Heaven, and now in the abyss, as you say. He is waiting for the coming of God from Heaven, this antichrist will be tied in bonds and set in eternal fire with his servants who believe in him. You will also receive torment from me here and there after death. They answered:- "Bose will tell us (according to the text) that you can't create anything for us." He tells them: - "Bose lies to you." They say: - "We stand in front of Svyatoslav, and you can do nothing for us." Jan orders to beat them and pull out their beards. Then more bits were and chins covered with worms. Jan asks them: - "What does your Bozi tell you?" They answered like this: - "Put us before Svyatoslav." And then Yan ordered to put rubles in their mouths and tie them to the elastic and put them in front of him into the boats, and he walked along them and stood at the mouth of the Sheksna. And Jan says to them: - "What do they say to you?" They answered: - "They tell him that we will not be alive from you." And Jan says to them: - "Here they told the truth." They say: - “If you let us go, you will be a lot of good. If you don't let us in, you will accept a lot of sorrow and evil. " Jan says: - “If I let you go, then evil will come to me from God. If I destroy you, then my reward will be from God. " And Yan povoznikov asks: - "Which of your relatives were killed by these?" They say that one has a mother, another has a sister. Jan says: - "Avenge your own people." They took them, killed them and hung them on an oak tree (the tree of worship of the pagans). Accepting revenge from God - by Truth. And Jan goes to his house. Another night, the bear climbed an oak tree, bit off and ate the Magi. So death came by demonic teaching, seers and fortune-tellers, but he did not see his own harm and did not know. If they knew and knew, they would not come to the place where they were. And already captured, they said: "We will not die" to the one who planned to kill them. Isn't this a demonic instigation, for demons do not know human thoughts, but they put a thought into a person who does not know the secret. Only God alone knows human thoughts. For demons know nothing, by their essence,for they are weak and bad in sight.
Prince Gleb from Tmutorokan goes to reign in Novgorod, leaving the princely place to his younger brother Roman Svyatoslavich.
1071 summer Uprising in the Rostov-Suzdal land, led by the Magi.
An uprising led by the Magi in Belo-Ozero, against local elders. The uprising was suppressed by the Kiev voivode Jan Vyshatich. Prince Vseslav Bryachislavovich expels Svyatopolk Izyaslavovich from Polotsk.
1072 summer. The reconciled brothers of Yaroslavl brought the Holy Passion-Bearers Boris and Gleb: Izyaslav, Svyatoslav and Vsevolod, while the Metropolitan George was at that time, and Bishops Peter of Pereyaslavsky, Mikhail Yuryevsky, Theodosius Abbot of Pechersky, the Abbot of St. And they created a bright holiday, putting them in a new church, which Izyaslav created, which still stands today. They took Boris first in a wooden shrine Izyaslav, Svyatoslav and Vsevolod, took on their shoulders and carried them behind the monks walking ahead, who held candles in their hands, followed by deacons with censers, then presbyters and after them bishops with the metropolitan, and after them with a shrine they followed … And they brought it to the new church in Vyshny town, built by Izyaslav Yaroslavich, opened the shrine and filled the church with a fragrance and a good smell. Those who saw this glorified God. And the metropolitan was seized by horror, for he was not firmly holding the faith and fell on his face, asking for forgiveness. After kissing his relics, they put it into a stone shrine. After that, they took Gleb in a stone shrine on a sled, and they were carried by the ropes. And as we were in the doorway, a cancer stood up, not moving. They commanded the people to call: "Lord have mercy," and they moved and laid it on the 2nd day of the month of May. Having finished the liturgy, the brothers all dined together, each with his boyars and with great love …each with his boyars and with great love …each with his boyars and with great love …

1073 summer. The devil raises self-interest among the brothers and the Yaroslavichs became among themselves in great strife. Svyatoslav Yaroslavovich with Vsevolod on Izyaslav goes from Kiiev in the month of March on the 22nd day, and sat down at the table in Berestovo, breaking the commandment of his father. Svyatoslav began to drive out his brother, wishing for more power and deceived Vsevolod, saying that "Izyaslav became friends with Vsevolod, planning on him, without anticipating, to take him and drive him out." And thus set Vsevolod on Izyaslav. Izyaslav goes to the Lyakhs with a lot of property and with his wife, reveling in the wealth of many, saying: “With this I will hire soldiers. Taking this from him, Lyakhi showed him the way from themselves. And Svyatoslav melted in Kiiev, having chased away his brother, having transgressed the commandment of his father, more than God. Great is the sin of the transgression of their father's commandment, for thus from the beginning the sons of Ham transgressed the land of Seth,and in 400 years they took vengeance from God and from the tribe, for the Jews exist for Seth (a Jew is on the way, without a homeland. The time of the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt), who beat the Canaanite tribe and took their lot - their land received by lot. And Esau more transgressed the commandment of his father, and committed murder. For it is not good to cross the boundaries of a foreign land.
That summer, the church of the Pechersk Monastery was founded by Abbot Theodosius and Bishop Michael, while Metropolitan George existed then in the Greek land. Svyatoslav was in Kiiev.
1073 -1076 hp The reign of Svyatoslav Yaroslavich in Kiev.
1074 summer. Theodosius reposed the abbot of the Caves (in the caves) monastery. Let's say that his dormition is not enough, for Theodosius had the custom to always come to the fast time, in the oil week in the evening, to kiss the brethren according to the custom and teach the brethren how to spend their fast time: in night prayers, as well as in daytime prayers, and observe himself from evil thoughts and from demonic violence, “for the demons slip the thoughts of the black people into evil desires, imparting thoughts and thus get into their prayers. Yes, coming such thoughts are forbidden by the sign of the cross, saying: - “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us! Amen". And with this, to have abstinence from the abundance of beer, a lot of food, in immeasurable drinking and evil thoughts grow. By growing thought, sin is established. In the same way, he says, to resist the demonic actions and their sneakiness and to observe them from laziness and from a lot of sleep. To be cheerful in church singing and in paternal traditions and book readings. It is more for the blacks to have the Psalter of David in their mouths and thus drive away the demonic despondency. Most of all, have love in yourself, for the lesser, and for the elders, humility and obedience, and for the elders, for the lesser ones love and instruction. Show yourself an image of abstinence and vigilance of walking and humility. And thus instruct the lesser, punishing and comforting them, and so to fast”. He spoke, for so: “God gave us these 40 days to cleanse the soul and body. For this is the tithe given from summer to God, for there are from year to year 365 days, and from these days the tenth day to give God a tenth part, this is a fast of forty days, in which the cleansing soul celebrates with light on the Lord's resurrection, rejoicing in the Lord. For the fast time clears the mind of a person, Fasting was originally transformed for Adam first:not to eat of one tree, for Moses fasted for 40 days and was vouchsafed to receive the Law on Mount Sinai, and saw the glory of God. By the fast of Samoel (Samuel), the mother gave birth, fasting in the Nivevgitians (in Egyptian Nivea), avoiding the wrath of God. Danilo fasted and was honored with a great vision. Elijah fasted before he was taken to heaven. Three youths fasted in fertile sweetness and extinguished the fiery power. The Lord fasted for 40 days, showing us the fast time. By fasting the apostles rooted out the doctrine of demons. Our fathers appeared in fasting as lights in the world that shine after death, showing great works and abstinence, like those great: Anthony, Efimiy and Sheba and other fathers, whom we will be jealous of brothers. And so after teaching the brethren and kissing everyone by name, he spoke to them, coming from the monastery, taking little bread - one hunk, and then entered the cave, shut the doors of the cave and covered with ashes,without telling anyone. If someone needed a strengthening, then with a small window I talked with him on Saturday or a week (do not do = day off). And on other days he was in fasting and in prayers, he abstained firmly. He came to the monastery on Friday, on the eve of Lazarev, for on that day the 40-day fast ended and began on the first Monday, Fedorov's week began, Lazarev's week ends on Friday, and Holy Week was established to fast for the sake of the Passions of the Lord. Theodosius came according to his custom, kissed his brethren and celebrated a colored week with them. And when he reached the Great Day of Resurrection, according to custom, he celebrated lightly and fell into illness. He, who fell ill on the fifth day, after the evening, ordered him to take himself out into the yard. The brothers took a stretcher and carried it out, placing it opposite the church. He orders to gather all the brethren. Brother, that was put on this,hit the beater and soon everyone gathered. He told them: “My brothers and my fathers, and my children, here I am already leaving you, since the Lord has already appeared to me in fasting time, who is in my cave, to leave this light. Whoever you want to have as an abbot, I am a godly woman, I would give him a blessing. " They say to him: “You are the father of all of us, then if you want someone yourself, he will be our father and abbot. Let's listen to him, as well as to you. " Our father, Theodosius, said: - "Besides me, go and tell me who you want from the oldest to the smallest." Theodosius says to them: “If you want to get an abbot from me, then I will create for them not according to my will, but according to God's name and the name of Jacob the presbyter.get out of the light of it. Whoever you want to have as an abbot, I am a godly woman, I would give him a blessing. " They say to him: “You are the father of all of us, then if you want someone yourself, he will be our father and abbot. Let's listen to him, as well as to you. " Our father, Theodosius, said: - "Besides me, go and tell me who you want from the oldest to the smallest." Theodosius says to them: “If you want to get an abbot from me, then I will create for them not according to my will, but according to God's name and the name of Jacob the presbyter.get out of the light of it. Whoever you want to have as an abbot, I am a godly woman, I would give him a blessing. " They say to him: “You are the father of all of us, then if you want someone yourself, he will be our father and abbot. Let's listen to him, as well as to you. " Our father, Theodosius, said: - "Besides me, go and tell me who you want from the oldest to the smallest." Theodosius says to them: “If you want to get an abbot from me, then I will create for them not according to my will, but according to God's name and the name of Jacob the presbyter.- “If you want to get an abbot from me, then I will create for them not according to my will, but according to God's name and the name of Jacob the presbyter.- “If you want to get an abbot from me, then I will create for them not according to my will, but according to God's name and the name of Jacob the presbyter.
The brothers didn’t like it, but they said that “I was not tonsured here”. For Jacob was a stranger from afar with his brother Paul. And the brothers began to ask Stephen, who was then a chorister, a disciple of Theodosius, a husband according to all customs, kind and meek, quiet and humble, who said that "This one brought up at your hand and served with you, give this now." And Theodosius says to them: “Here, I, by God's command, have already named Jacob. And you want to create your will”. And he listened to them, gave them Stephen, and let them be an abbot. He blessed Stephen and said to him: “Child, here I am giving you the monastery. Observe with his salvation, as I arranged in services, so stick to the tradition of the monastery, do not change the charter, and do everything according to the Law, according to the order of the monastery. " And after that, the brothers took him and carried him to his cell, laid him on a bed. And by the onset of the sixth day, having learned about the disease,Svyatoslav comes with his son Gleb. Theodosius said to him who was sitting with him: “Behold, I am leaving this world and I give you the monastery for your observance. If there is confusion in him, then I entrust Abbot Stephen with this. Don't let him be offended. " And then Prince Svyatoslav with his son Gleb, kissed the Holy Elder and promised to bake at the monastery.

But Oleg flees to Starodub by deception to his brother David, there they gather an army and go with him to the land of Muromo-Ryazan, which once belonged to Oleg's ancestors, but none of their relatives was accepted.

Only the devil was sad from this love. And Satan (opposing) gets in the heart of some people and began to turn to David Igorevich, saying: "How did Vladimir united with Vasilko on Svyatopolk and on you?" Davyd, however, believed the false words and began to accuse Vasilko, saying: “Who killed your brother Yaropolk? Who is planning on you now, having united with Vladimir? Think about your head. " Svyatopolk was in confusion with his mind, saying: - "Tolley is the truth, or lies, I do not know." And Svyatopolk said to David: “If you speak correctly, God will be your witness. If you speak out of envy, God will follow that. " Svyatopolk took pity on his brother and began to ponder about himself, whether all this would be true. … On the same night, Vasilko was taken to Belogoroda, that the small city near Kiev is so in ten versts. They bring a chained man on a cart,pulled out of the cart and led to the small upper room. And I saw Vasilko in front of him sitting a Torchin man (Thor is a pagan bose of lust), sharpening a knife, and realized that they wanted to blind him. And he cried out to God with great weeping and groaning. And so, the messengers sent by Svyatopolk and David enter: the Dreamer (Izchevich) groom Svyatopolk and Dimitri the groom Davidov and began to spread the carpet and spread it, grabbed Vasilka, wanting to wrap it in the carpet. Fought him hard and couldn't wrap up. And then others come in and throw him down and knit him, remove the boards from the stove and put them on his chest. The Dreamer and Davyd sit on the boards, but cannot hold them back. But two more come running up, take the board off the stove and sit down, and press their shoulders on it, so that the chest crackled. A Torchin resident named Berendi, the shepherd of Svyatopolk, approached, holding a knife and wants to hit in the eye, but he was frightened by the look and cut his face,and there is a wound on Vasilka to this day. (This phrase tells us that the chronicle ended during the life of Vasilko). But after that he struck in the eye (eye socket) and took out the apple (eye), then into the other eye, and took out another apple. (Apparently before the "eye" was called the eye socket, the "apple" of the eye. P. Sh.) And at that time he became like a dead person. They took the almost dead man on a carpet and put him on a cart and carried him to Vladimir. And when they were taking him, he came to his senses when crossing the Zvizdensky bridge (To sound = whistle or creak). At the marketplace they pulled off his bloody shirt and let the priest clean it. Having cleaned the ass, I put it on Vasilka when they were having dinner, and began to cry as if they were dead. He felt crying and asked: - "Where am I?" They answered him: - "In the city of Zvizden." He asked for water, and they gave him water to drink. And the soul returned to him, came to himself, felt the shirt and said:- “Why did they take it off me? Would have been in that bloody shirt, having accepted death, to stop before God. " After lunch, they went with him on a cart, along the winter path, for then there was a month "chest" - later called "November". And they come with him to Vladimir on the 6th day. Davyd comes with him, no matter how, he caught the prey. And he put him in the Vakey court, and appointed 30 watchmen and two princely youths Ulan and Kolchko. Was blinded by Vasilko Rostislavovich (becoming Vasily the Dark).and appointed 30 men of watchmen and two youths of princely Ulan and Kolchko.

Vladimir heard how Vasilko was taken and was blinded and horrified, burst into tears and said: "This has never happened in the Russian land either under our grandfathers or under our fathers, such evil." And immediately he sends to David and to Oleg Svyatoslavovich, saying: - “Come to Gorodets, he corrected this evil that you did in the Russian land. A knife has already been thrown into both us and the brothers. If we do not correct this, then a greater evil will arise among us and the brother of the brother will begin to slaughter, and the Russian land will perish. Our enemies Polovtsi will come and take the Russian land”. Having heard this, David and Oleg, brothers Svyatoslavovich, were greatly saddened and cried, saying: "This was not in our kind." Soon there and then they gathered soldiers and came to Vladimir, who stood with his soldiers in the forest. Vladimir, Davyd and Oleg Svyatoslavovich send their husbands to speak to Svyatopolk: - “Why did he do this evil in the Russian land,casting lies among us. Why did you blind your brother? If any guilt was on us, I would denounce it in front of us, argue with him, I would have done for him. Now show him the fault of what you have done to him. " And Svyatopolk answered: “Davyd Igorevich told me that Vasilko killed your brother, Yaropolk, and he wants to kill you and occupy your volost: Turov, Pinsk, Berestye and Pogorina. And he swore with Vladimir to sit Vladimir in Kiiev, and Vasilko in Vladimir. And I can't help keeping my head. And it was not I who blinded, but David, taking him to me. " And the men Vladimir, Davyd and Oleg decided: “Don't have a lie that Davyd blinded him. Not in the city of Davidov was taken, but in your city was taken and blinded. " And with this we parted ways. The next morning they cross the Dnieper to Svyatopolk, Svyatopolk wanted to escape from Kiiev, and the Kiievites did not let him escape. They send the widow Vsevolod,and Metropolitan Nicholas to Vladimir, saying: “We pray, prince, to you and your brothers,“you cannot destroy the Russian land. If the armies begin to fight among themselves, the rotten will rejoice, and will take our land, which was collected by our fathers and grandfathers by our great labor and courage, annexing other lands to the Russian land, by prospecting. And you want to destroy the Russian land. " Hearing this, Vladimir burst into tears and said; “In truth, our fathers and our grandfathers observed the Russian land. And we want to destroy”. Vladimir burst into tears and said; “In truth, our fathers and our grandfathers observed the Russian land. And we want to destroy”. Vladimir burst into tears and said; “In truth, our fathers and our grandfathers observed the Russian land. And we want to destroy”.
That year, in winter, Mstislav won with Oleg's Novgorodians at Kulatsk, during a great retreat. But in the spring the Kulatskoye field burned down, and on the 3rd day Detinets burned down. The townspeople beat Ilyin's servants.
