- The opinion of Sylvester Koseov can be considered little different from the opinion contained in the hand-written Patericon of Trnani. Kesson did not say directly that the Dmitrievsky Monastery was located in the Pechersk part of Kyiv; he only says: Iegaya (edo shopaviegv iuiko rias iesh pi&Sheko topavieg rieszagekie^o, between te#rr n iols also not far from the Vievonechersk Lado: ZhSh iRR Zh

About the locations of the ancient Vieveiogo and Venngorod
Chzdriye V. B. Aiteivich.
In ancient Russian chronicles and in documents of the 15th - 16th centuries, four cities are mentioned that bear the name of Zvenigorod:
1) Since 1096, we have information about the capital city, Zveny-gorod Chervensky, which still exists in Galicia in the Berezhansky district.
2) In the 16th century, Zvenigorod of Moscow, an independent city in the Moscow province, was already mentioned.
3) In the documents of the first half of the 16th century we meet the Bratslav land of Zvenigorod steppe or Bratslavsky, now a district city of the Kyiv province.
4) Finally, from 1097 to 1234, the chronicles speak of Zvenin, the city of Kyiv.; about this city, after the last year indicated, the legoshen are completely silent; in later documents his name also does not appear: obviously, the city ceased to exist - it was probably destroyed during Batu's invasion and never rose from the ruins. The very location of this city remains unknown, despite attempts to determine it. I intend to present some of these attempts in this note, believing that the comparison of chronicle indications with inspection “eh? and this gives the right to point out, with some certainty, one of the Kyiv settlements as an area once occupied by Zvenigorod. Let's start with citing ancient chronicles: about Kyiv Zvenigorod. The civil chronicle list mentions it 4 times, in the years 1097, 1150, 1151 and 1234.
V. B. ANTONOVICH,
1) Under the year 1097, the chronicle speaks of Zvenigorod as the place of the blinding of Vasilko Roetislavich. This prince, captured by David Igorevich in Kyiv, was taken from the city at night: “And that night he brought Zvenigorod,” which is a small city near Kyiv, like ten miles away; malu": then the prince was painfully blinded, and immediately after the torture, "he took him up and on the carpet, and tied him up on the ox, as if he were dead, and the lucky one, and Volodymyr.
2) Two other indications of the chronicle are found among the story about the struggle of Yuri Dolgoruky with Izyaslav Mstislavich for possession of the Kyiv table. In 1150, Yuri with the Olgovichs and Davidovichs marched against Iayaslav to Kyiv from Ostersky Gorodok; from the west, Vladshchirko Galitsky led the strong army to help him. Izya Slav, realizing the superiority of the forces of the allies, decided not to allow them to unite, and decided to attack the Galician prince before Yuri had time to cross the Dnipro. “I will go to Zvenigorod against Volodymer,” he said to Uncle Vyacheslav, and you send your regiment with me, and the san, father, go to Kyiv." (from Vyshgorod, where the meeting took place). Then Izyaslav came to Kyiv, convened a meeting and proposed to the people of Kyiv his plan of defense: “Volodya is closer to me, I will go to him first.” And I went from Kyiv with my regiments against Polodnmir; and after my brother Volodymer and my son Mstislav, I went to Zvenigorod, and there he came with a hundred regiments of his own, and I heard the news, Volodymyr is already walking through Perenetovo. Izyaslav, hearing them, is leaving from Zvenigorod to Tumascha and that one.
O The Laurentian list says Belgorod, but the Ipatsky version is more correct; the still deceased M.A. Maksimovich pointed out that if we were talking about Belgorod, then the chronicler would not have needed to add: “Even if the city is small near Kyiv, it’s like 10 miles away.” - Belgorod was at that time the most important city in the Kyiv suburbs, therefore it was not a “hail city” - and is known to rumors in Rus', so that the chronicler considered it necessary to clarify its location. The Laurengius Chronicle mentions Belgorod 4 times, more generally, and never considers it necessary to explain its todography; Zvenigorod is being domesticated here for the first time, and therefore the explanation is quite appropriate.
