Nestor The Chronicler
Saint Nestor the Chronicler ( orv, Несторъ Лѣтописецъ; 1056 – c. 1114, in Principality of Kiev, Kievan Rus') was the reputed author of ''Primary Chronicle'' (the earliest East Slavic letopis), ''Life of the Venerable Theodosius of the Kiev Caves'' and ''Account about the Life and Martyrdom of the Blessed Passion Bearers Boris and Gleb.'' Biography In 1073 AD, Nestor became a monk of the Monastery of the Caves in Kiev. The only other detail of his life that is reliably known is that he was commissioned with two other monks to find the relics of St. Theodosius of Kiev, a mission which he fulfilled successfully. It is also speculated that he supported the reigning prince Svyatopolk II, and his pro- Slavic party disliked Greek influence in Kiev. His chronicle begins with the Deluge, as did those of most Christian chroniclers of the time. The compiler appears to have been acquainted with the Byzantine historians; he makes use especially of John Malalas and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Until 1869 it came out five times a week; thereafter it came out every day, and from 1881 there were both morning and evening editions. In 1891 a weekly illustrated supplement was added. The newspaper began as a liberal publication, and in 1872 published an editorial celebrating the appearance in Russian of the first volume of Karl Marx's ''Das Kapital'', but after Aleksey Suvorin took it over it acquired a reputation as a servile supporter of the government, in part because of the antisemitic and reactionary articles of Victor Burenin. "'The motto of Suvorin's ''Novoye Vremya'',' wrote Russia's greatest satirist Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, Saltykov-Shchedrin, 'is to go inexorably forward, but through the anus.'" Nevertheless, it became one of Russia's most popular newspapers, with a circulation reaching 60,000 copies, and published ...
