to him Cherny Klobutsi... on the morning of the same day, but at dawn, Izaslav was shining, and on the day Volodymer pushed his regiments into battle and,. crossed Stugnu, and crossed Olypanntsyu. At the same time, Volodymer stood on top of Olshanide." Here a battle took place that ended with the defeat of Izyaslav, due to the flight of the Black Klobuks to the Kyiv militia. - Izaslav retired to Volyn, but in the same year, with the help of the Hungarians, he again captured Kyiv.

3) In 1151, Yuri again took up arms against Izyaslav; He. went to Kyiv together with the Chernihiv princes and the hired Polovtsian horde. Having crossed the Dnipro, Yuri tried to besiege Kyiv; but, having encountered a readiness for energetic defense, he decided to wait for the arrival of the Galician prince and retreated from the city towards the west, past Belgorod. Then. Izaslav decide to follow him and force him to battle before the arrival of the Galician army; the princes, allies of Izyaslav,..approved. It was my intention to turn to the Kyiv Veche for help. The Kievans declared their full readiness to follow the prince: “Well, they all will go,” the veche answered, “an eye can take coldness out of their hands; if anyone doesn’t go, let me give you cabbage soup, or else we’ll be beaten!” ashes, and many others; and the stasha marched near Zvenigorod, and in the morning, on the middle of the morning, the stasha dined at Basshek’s, and went to Vasilev, and so he sent his troops to Vasilev, and went to Stugna. catch, and not nroaddyame g vaiu, that and stash your regiments for the night, and bridge them with Peregovich, even though we are with them.” Yuri was forced, despite the desire to avoid battle, to engage in battle. river Rumrf; he was broken on his head and ran after. Dnipro.

4) The last time the chronicle mentions Zvenigorod was in 1234. - Daniil Romanovich was at that time in Kyiv, where his squad was resting after a long campaign against the Chernihiv region; Meanwhile, news was received that the Polovtsians, who had become one of the Severn princes, were devastating the Kyiv region and marching on Kyiv. Daniel did not advise going against them, since the army was exhausted by a long march, but the Kyiv ointment Vladimir Rurikovich and the governor Miroslav decided to go on a campaign. “Sretosh-zhe.e Iodrvtse (dertsnkhnr advanced

I. I. Antonovich,

detachment) at Zvenigorod." Having learned about the strength of the enemies, the Kyiv leaders wanted to retreat back to Kyiv, but now Daniel insisted • to continue the campaign that had already begun; "the many Polovtsians who met the howl of Torchsvoy, the slaughter was fierce," in which the Russian princes suffered a painful defeat.

By comparing the given instructions from the chronicle, we can extract the following data to determine the location of the City Link:

a) Zvenigorod lay very close to Kyiv, “like ten miles away”: a prisoner taken at night from Kyiv, and at night he was brought to Zvenigorod. The foot militia, which left Kyiv after the meeting at the veche, reached Zvenigorod in one march and stopped in Dem for the night.

b) Zvenigorod lay on the Road from Kyiv to Vasilev: the militia coming from Kyiv spent the night in Zvenigorod and the next day, unfortunately, could reach Vasilev in one march; However, the transition was longer than to Kyiv: if on foot it happened too late to leave the night, then they could not reach Vasilev by lunchtime.

c) Zvenigorod lay on the left side of the Stugna River, to the banks of which there was only one passage: those coming from Kyiv through Zvenigorod crossed Otugna at Vasilyev or at Tumashch. - Further, the road passing through Zvenigorod led through the small river Olypanvtsa, through a large earthen rampart, to Perepetovo Field; then, through the upper reaches of the Zdvvzha River to the city of Zvizhdevie *) - she was heading to Volyn.

d) From Zvenigorod, another path turned slightly east of the first, along the left bank of the Stugna, and led in the lower reaches of this river - to Torchesk, which lay near Tripoli (where the dusty village of Starye Vovradichn) ®).

’) In one of the acts of the beginning of the 17th century, we find an indication that a settlement bearing the name Zvnzhdeniye still existed at that time; namely, at the sources of the Zdvizhi River, where the village of Zdvizhka is now: in 1618, the nobleman Vasily Tisha Bykovsky complained that the head of the willful detachment of zholners, Mirovitsky, robbed his estate: “the village of Khodorvov and the villages that lay dead before the veto: Pustynniki, Ratnaya, Zoizh&chen, Ma-Lkjv, VOLYachev and Vilyu" (Arch. South-West Russia, part III, vol. I, p. 212).
