The Ustyug chronicle about M. L. Glynsky

Nicholas Zharkikh

Shortened text of the section. Full text in ukrainian version.

The Ustyug Chronicle tells about the arrest of M. L. Glynsky quite differently from other sources.

All these small inconsistencies indicate that the story written in this chronicle was compiled much later than the events themselves and that the details of several campaigns may have been mixed in it. Therefore, the small details of this story cannot be relied upon, while the general contours of the story agree with other, earlier sources.

Modern historians who silently ignore these details of the story of the Ustyug chronicler are probably right.
