| Title of the article | 947 chronicle texts on Princess Olga’s reforms and foundation of Pogosts |
| Abstract. | The article discusses the fragment of the 947 chronicle text. It describes the episode when Princess Olga establishes the «pogosts» (administrative units) on the Novgorod land. The author argues that the primary text was artificially attached to the Novgorod Chronicle. The events were unfolding in Drevlyanian and Volynian land, where ran Bulgar-Kyiv-Regensburg international trade route. The war in Drevlyanian land opened up prospects for control of this trade route from Kyiv to the Luga river to the basin of the Western Bug, whence opened the waterway to the Baltic Sea along the Bug and the Vistula. The chronicles description about the events of the year 947 shows the establishment of a new system of administrative centers on the right bank of the Western Bug (in the basin of its right tributary – the Luga river) named «pogosts». |
