Rus' Chronicles

The Rus' Chronicles are a collection of medieval texts written by early Eastern Slavic writers, documenting the history, events, and myths of the Kievan Rus' region (roughly modern Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus). They serve as a primary historical source, combining factual accounts with legendary stories, and reflect the cultural and political development of the early East Slavic peoples from the 11th to 15th centuries. These chronicles offer insights into the formation of their societies, leadership, religious influences, and interactions with neighboring regions.
