29) This news falls into the so-called. Vitebek Chronicle. Sapunov, Vitebsk Otarina, t. Gor. 455. The same chronicle was published later. Antonovichezh in “(Collection of chronicles, southern and western Russia”, Klev, 1888, p. 215. them
22) The names of the Normans found in treaties with the Greeks are not subject to changes that would bring them closer to Russian words; therefore, producing Rogvolod from the Scandinavian Ringwald is not a basis. The name of Rogvolod remained with many of the subsequent Polotsk princes and followers. it was not a coincidence, not a coincidence.—It is connected with the history of Rogvolod® of the Polotsk tfeno from the history of Turz, the prince of Turov, “from whom he was nicknamed Turovtsi.” But this mentioned chronicle is not more than true, in our opinion, although some historians, on the basis of it, want to see the first Turov prince on Tour. Thus, the compiler of the “Essay on the History of Turov” (Preface in the publication “The Work of Our Holy Father Cyril, Bishop of Turov”, published by Bishop Eugene, Klev, 1880} stubbornly adheres to the existence of the Varangian (?) Prince of Tur, producing this name in consonance with the Varangian (?) names Turbern, Turbin [in the literary text otherwise: Gurbridz (Inat. lit., p. 29)], Turdov, Turduva (in the literary text Turduvi, P14et). But, firstly, the very existence of the Varangian princes, in the family of Rogvolod (not Rogvolod - a prince, but Rogvolod - a Varangian by origin) bolfe chfm is doubtful; 2) ——the consonant names given by the author are too far from cheers; the last word, in the form of the name й рък, mfetnostnosti, seley is commonly used in Byflorueyi (for example, Turov in Vitebsk province, Turmya river in Mozyrekiy UzdB, etc.). Moreover, most of the cities, according to popular tradition, were founded by princes and heroes who gave them their name (Klev--ot' Klya): cf., for example, an interesting legend about the foundations of the Russian Federation, Lyutsin and Martenhausen ("The History of the Land of Varangian Rus'" by V. Lyzlov, Vilna, 1886, p. 6) and many others. etc. (in Balinsky in Sochi, “Byoagodufta Ro]zKa”, in lftopisyakh, etc.). If we give the legend about Tur historical authenticity, then we would have to recognize Mbneska, about whom Itilevsk faithfully whispers, as the first prince of Minsk! He wants it that way, but is it scientific?
