Nestor-Ski-writer

At the beginning of 1070? In the Pechersk monastery near Kyiv, the future illustrious laurel, a young, well -educated novice settled. We do not know neither the worldly name, nor as he lived until 17 years old. But much of what is now known about the ancient Russia of the 9th-XI centuries has retained the pen of this particular man-the Monk Nestor-School. The youth of Nestor fell on the years of the triumvirate of the princes of Yaroslavich - the sons of Yaroslav the Wise. This is the time of the first clashes of Russia with a new wave of steppe-aggressors-Polovtsy, the time when the pagan “opposition” raised his head in the baptized Russian soil and the rebellions led by the Volvami were blazed around the country, the time when many traditions of St. Russia were laid in the Pechersk monastery, finally , the time when the princely “triumvirate” gave a large crack and the dying covenant of Yaroslav the wise “living in love” was almost forgotten
