154) For example, Yaroshevich “Оътая [л6\уу”, Vilno, 1844 1, p. 36, based his opinion on the Resurrection Chronicle. (I. S. R. L., vol. UP, p. 332): “Go Yaroslav to Lithuania, and in the spring lay down Novgorod and sodla.” But Novgorodekaya is flying. add: “Pawn Vladimir,” which is quite natural, for he then reigned in Novgorod the Great (Novgor., p. 90, also Tatishchev, Sh, 109); but in Ipat. Novgorod is not mentioned (p. 108, as well as in Tver Let., P.S.R.L., vol. XU, p. 148 and Nikonovekaya, p. 82). Narbut invented a fairy tale about two Novgorodians - Litovek (MetseprShe) and Russian („02л6е)е“, Ш, р. 271-4). He was also followed by prominent researchers: Turchinovich, “0bozr.ist.Bol.”, r. 262, Dmitruev, who wrote a brief historical. an essay on Novogrudok, very incomplete and characterized by large inaccuracies (“A few words of a brief historical overview of the Russian-Lithuanian Novogrudok.” in “Vetn. Imperial. Russian. Geogr. 0bshch.”, 1858 No. 12). and Zeleneyui (Minsk province in Mat. for geogr. and statistics. Rosa, vol. G, p. 10). - Let us also add for completeness that Tatishchev thought that in the famous. ltop. under 1044 it speaks of Novgorod Seversk, [, approx. 251, which Ekaterina P. repeated after him, “Notes regarding the Russian Empire. Soch. State. Imperial Ekat. P., S.-Pb. 1801,” p. 187.

Let us now move on to defining the boundaries of the Turovska principality. It did not occupy the entire vast area occupied by the Dregovich settlements. Only the northern border of their region with Polotsk remained unchanged in its fundamentals, until the two principalities were crushed with Lithuania. We have already indicated this northern border when determining the Pnolotsk borders; Let us name only the cities of Klechesk and Sluchesk, mentioned as the outermost points of the Principality of Turov, l
The eastern political border did not reach. The natural prelude is the shores of the Dneir with the mouths of its two most important tributaries, the Berezina and Pripati, although this space was inhabited by representatives of the Dregovichi tribe. Edeeee we meet the village of Kryachine (met. Richitskogo u.), inhabited by the Dregozichs, but from half of the KhP Art. came into the power of the princes of Yoievsky (see below). Another town in the same municipality Richitsa (county town of Minsk province) belonged, at least in the beginning of the 13th century, to the princes of Chernigov 162). Perhaps the same should be said about Rozachev (county town of Mogilev province); this city is mentioned next to other undoubtedly Dregovich cities: Berestye, Dorogichino and Vlechesky 163), but belonged to the Chernigov princes 164). Thus, in this small corner formed by the mouth of the Pripyat and the Dnieper, tribes collide: Polyana, Overyane and Dregovichi, and the latter, as the weaker ones, having developed political independence, are pushed aside by the first two. A significant number of cities and settlements in this very particularity indicate precisely that the clash of the three named tribes was not, at least in the ancient period, without struggle.

Thus, the political border of the Turov principality, to the east, passed, in the end of the KhP century, beyond Mozyr, along the watershed of two rivers bordered by swamps - Ptich, a tributary of the Pripyat, and Vedrach, a tributary of the Dnipro.
