Mstislav The Eyeless
Mstislav Rostislavich Bezokii (or Mstislav "The Eyeless") (russian: Мстислав Ростиславич Безокий) (died 1178) was Prince of Rostov (1175–1176) and Prince of Novgorod the Great (1160–1161, 1177–1178). He should not be confused with Mstislav Rostislavich Khrabryi, who was Prince of Smolensk and also Prince of Novgorod near the same time as Mstislav the Eyeless. He was son of Rostislav Yuryevich. Mstislav the Eyeless received his sobriquet (nickname) after being defeated by Vsevolod III "The Big Nest" in 1176 and being blinded along with his brother, Iaropolk and brother-in-law, Gleb.

Siege Of Vyshgorod
The battle and siege of Vyshgorod (modern Vyshhorod) took place in late 1173, during the 1171–1173 Kievan succession crisis. Commanding another broad coalition army, prince Andrey Bogolyubsky of Vladimir-Suzdal launched a second campaign against Kiev (modern Kyiv), capital city of Kievan Rus'. After the conquest and sack of Kiev in March 1169 by an earlier coalition assembled by Andrey, his brother Gleb of Pereyaslavl had been installed as the new grand prince, only to die under suspicious circumstances in January 1171. A series of princes briefly reigned in Kiev thereafter, with Andrey usually managing to put his preferred candidates on its throne, until his brother Vsevolod "the Big Nest" was driven out by the Rostislavichi of Smolensk in April 1172, enthroning Rurik Rostislavich. Andrey was most displeased when he heard about this, and assembled another coalition army under his son Yury to militarily enforce his will on Kiev. The coalition army, consisting of Yurievichi ...

Complete Collection Of Russian Chronicles
The Complete Collection of Russian Chronicles (, abbr. ''PSRL'') is a series of published volumes aimed at collecting all medieval East Slavic chronicles, with various editions published in Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union, and Russian Federation. The project is ongoing and far from finished. The chronicles were assembled by the Archaeographical Expedition of the Russian Academy of Sciences (starting in 1828). They were prepared for publication by the Archaeographical Commission, established in 1834 as part of the Ministry of National Enlightenment. The first volumes were published by a publisher "Typography of Edward Prats". The commission was charged to publish the collection on February 18, 1837. The first ten volumes appeared between 1841 and 1863. New volumes have been brought forth piecemeal throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries. Some of the older volumes have also been reprinted, especially after 1997. List of published volumes Typography of Edward Prats * Vo ...

The ''Khlebnikov Codex'' ( uk, Хлєбниковський список, Khljebnykovsʹkyj spysok; russian: Хлебниковский список, Hlebnikovskij spisok) is a codex of Rus' chronicles compiled in the 1560s. Provenance and physical description The ''Khlebnikov Codex'' was unexpectedly discovered in the summer of 1809. It is named after one of its previous owners, (russian: Пётр Хлебников), a merchant from Kolomna, Russia. The codex is currently preserved in the National Library of Russia with registration number "F.IV.230". Boris Kloss (2007) concluded that the entire text was copied by the same scribes. He identified the filigree – variants of a wild boar – with the no. 3661 type dated to 1560 by (1967), leading Kloss to the conclusion that 'the main part of the manuscript was written in the 1560s'. Aleksey Shakhmatov (1908) identified the text's language as "southern Rus', with very typical local features". Several notes on the final fol ...

Saint Sophia Cathedral In Novgorod
The Cathedral of Holy Wisdom (the Holy Wisdom of God) in Veliky Novgorod is the cathedral church of the Metropolitan of Novgorod and the mother church of the Novgorodian Eparchy. History The 38-metre-high, five-domed, stone cathedral was built by Vladimir of Novgorod and Bishop Luka Zhidiata between 1045 and 1050 to replace an oaken cathedral built by Bishop Ioakim Korsunianin in the late tenth century (making it the oldest church building in Russia proper and, with the exception of the Arkhyz and Shoana churches, the oldest building of any kind still in use in the country). It was consecrated by Bishop Luka Zhidiata (1035–1060) on September 14, in 1050 or 1052, the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. (A fresco just inside the south entrance depicts Sts. Constantine and Helena, who found the true cross in the fourth century; it is one of the oldest works of art in the cathedral and is thought to commemorate its dedication.)

Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate (UOC-KP; uk, Украї́нська Правосла́вна Це́рква – Ки́ївський Патріарха́т (УПЦ-КП), Ukrainska Pravoslavna Tserkva — Kyivskyi Patriarkhat (UPTs-KP)) is an unrecognized Orthodox church in Ukraine. It came into existence in 1992. It merged into the Orthodox Church of Ukraine in 2018. In 2019, the former leader of the church Filaret (Denysenko) declared its "revival" following his conflict with Epiphanius, however, it was not supported by the majority of the bishops of former Kyiv Patriarchate. After its unilateral declaration of autocephaly in 1992, the patriarchate was not recognised by the other Eastern Orthodox churches, and was considered a "schismatic group" by the Moscow Patriarchate. The Ecumenical Patriarchate decided on 11 October to reintegrate the faithful Christians of Ukraine into the Orthodox Church including the faithful and hierarchs of the UOC-KP a ...

It is known from a single copy in the 15th-century Hypatian Codex, where it is sandwiched between the ''Primary Chronicle'' and the ''Galician–Volhynian Chronicle''. It covers the period from 1118, where the ''Primary Chronicle'' ends, until 1200, although its final entry is misdated to 1199. A final short notice mentions the start of the reign of Roman the Great as "autocrat of all Russia" in 1201. Among the sources used by the anonymous chronicler were a chronicle of the city of Pereyaslavl, house chronicles of the Rurikid dynasty (specifically of Rurik Rostislavich, Igor and Oleg Svyatoslavich, and Vladimir Glebovich) and a chronicle of Pechersk monastery.
