also called Chronicle of Nestor or Kiev Chronicle , Russian Povest vremennykh let (“Tale of Bygone Years”)
medieval Kievan Rus historical work that gives a detailed account of the early history of the eastern Slavs to the second decade of the 12th century. The chronicle, compiled in Kiev about 1113, was based on materials taken from Byzantine chronicles, west and south Slavonic literary sources, official documents, and oral sagas; the earliest extant manuscript of it is dated 1377. While the authorship was traditionally ascribed to the monk
Nestor, modern scholarship considers the chronicle a composite work.
