DOI: 10.31518/2618-9100-2022-2-2
The article discusses the narrative on Old Russian history from the first half of the 12th to the mid-13th century in the Chronicle of the White and Black Russia within the historical compendium appeared in the first third of the 17th century in Ukrainian territories of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The ways of quoting the main sources of this work are investigated. It is established that the selection of information from them by compiler caused by a certain concept of the history of the Russian Monarchy. The narrative highlights the dynastic branch of Kievan and Volhynian princes. From this position, the compiler edited the sources and selected from them certain historical plots related to the figures of Iziaslav II Mstislavich, Mstislav II Izyaslavich, Roman the Great and Daniel of Galicia. The antithesis of the Volhynian branch of the House of Monomakh and other Rurikovites, especially those who applied for the Kievan throne (Yuri I Vladimirovich, Andrei I Yuryevich, Rurik Rostislavich, Yaroslav II of Vladimir), is consistently carried out in the Chronicle. The apogee of the “Russian Monarchy” for the compiler was the reign of Daniel of Galicia. The unique reports of the Chronicle about the events of the 13th century have been revealed. The line of historical continuity leads to the descendants of Daniel of Galicia – the princes of Ostrogski family – the famous patrons and donators of the Kiev Pechersk Monastery.
