The rows of empty years clearly reveal the method of compiling the code according to the listed sources. In the arrangement of the collected chronicle material, the compiler was guided by the chronological plan, which was the basis of the entire set. For the construction of this plan, the compiler had, on the one hand, the instructions of the Byzantine chronographs and the dates of the Russian treaties with the Greeks, and on the other hand, the number of years of the Kiev reigns, kept in the memory of the Kiev society. In the Tale of the Beginning of the Russian Land, following the legend of the invasion of the Khozars on the glades, we meet such an insert under 852 ᴦ .: having said that under Emperor Michael III, “they began to call the Russian land,” because then Russia attacked Constantinople, as it is described in Greek chronicle, the author of the insert continues: "Let us put the same things in the same place and put the numbers." This inset is evidently made by the compiler of the vault. He leads his chronology from the flood, indicating how many years have passed from the flood to Abraham, from Abraham to the exodus of the Jews from Egypt, etc. Calculating various chronological periods, the compiler of the code comes to the time when (in 882 ᴦ.) Oleg was established in Kiev: "from the first summer of Mikhailov to the first summer of Olgov, the Russian prince, about 29 years old, and from the first summer of Olgov, less gray in Kiev, to the first summer of Igor, about 31 years old", etc. until the death of the Grand Duke of Kiev Svyatopolk: "and from the death of Yaroslavl to the death of Svyatopolch, 60 years." The death of Svyatopolk, which happened in 1113 ᴦ., Serves as the limit of the chronological calculation on which the vault is built. So, the code was compiled already under Svyatopolk's successor Vladimir Monomakh, not earlier than 1113 ᴦ. But we saw that the Kiev-Pechersk Chronicle was interrupted even under Svyatopolk, in 1110; Consequently, the chronological calculation of the set does not belong to the initial Kiev chronicler, who did not live to see the death of Svyatopolk, or at least finished his chronicle earlier, but was made by hand, writing to the reign of Svyatopolkov's successor Vladimir Monomakh, that is, between 1113 and 1125. It is precisely at this time that the 1116 ᴦ postscript I quoted by Sylvestrov falls. This Sylvester, I consider the compiler of the set.

NESTOR AND SILVESTR.

Now it is possible to explain the attitude of this Sylvester both to the Primary Chronicle and to the chronicler Nestor. The so-called Primary Chronicle, which we read from the Lavrentievsky and related copies, is a compilation of chronicles, and not a genuine chronicle of the Kiev-Pechersky monk. This Kievo-Pechersk Chronicle did not reach us in its original form, but, partly abbreviated, partly supplemented by inserts, entered the initial corpus of chronicles as its last and main part. This means that it is impossible to say neither that Sylvester was the initial Kiev chronicler, nor that Nestor compiled the oldest chronicle we read, that is, the initial compilation of the chronicle: Nestor was the compiler of the most ancient Kiev chronicle, which has not come down to us in its original form, and Sylvester - the compiler of the initial corpus of chronicles, which is not the most ancient Kiev chronicle; he was also the editor of the oral folk legends and written narratives included in the collection, including the Nesterov Chronicle itself.
