Vyatka Land
Vyatka Land was a part of Medieval Russia in the basin of the Vyatka river, approximately corresponding to the modern Kirov Oblast. Permian people were its original inhabitants and it was gradually settled by Russians whose arrival is traditionally dated to the late 12th century. Vyatka Land, being geographically isolated from the rest of the Russian lands, sometimes accepted the suzerainty of other Russian and Tatar states but de facto had a large degree of independence until it was annexed by the Grand Duchy of Moscow in 1489. History Udmurts inhabited the Vyatka land before the arrival of Russian settlers. According to the Legend of the Vyatka Land they came from Novgorod in 1174, conquered Kotelnich and Nikulitsyn with the supernatural help of saints Boris and Gleb and founded Khlynov which became the main settlement of the Vyatka land (often called ''Vyatka'' as well). This account was disputed by some historians who consider the Legend to be a much later and unreliable ...
