The preamble to the Rus’ian-Byzantine treaty, which was concluded around 944, contains dozens of anthroponyms – the names of members of the Kyivian elite, their envoys as well as merchants. Several of them can be identified as Slavonic. The author attempted to answer the question about the identity of these Slavs and their status within the “decision-making collective” of the early Rus’ian state. He has compared the information contained in the treaty with material consisting of other Rus’ian and Byzantine sources. Additionally the author compared the system of governance in the state of the first Rurikids with the model present among the Yotvingians and other medieval Baltic societies, which have also came under the influence of the Scandinavians.

The article is an attempt to provide a source analysis of the mentions of Tmutarakan’ contained in the Primary Chronicle – the oldest surviving monument of medieval Rusian historiography. In the text, particular emphasis is placed on the narrative strategy of the source and the image of the borderlands of Rus’ contained therein. The author reflects on the place of information about events in the remote “exclave” of the Rurikids domain in the story about the dynasty and the territorial expansion of its state and formulates hypotheses about their origin. In addition, using the List of Rusian further and closer gords as a basis, he raises the question of the functioning of Tmutarakan’ in minds of the authors and recipients of later texts.

Статья является попыткой источниковедческого анализа упоминаний о Тмутаракани, содержащихся в Повести временных лет - древнейшем из сохранившихся памятников средневековой руской историографии. В тексте особое внимание уделяется нарративной стратегии источника и содержащемуся в нем образу пограничных земель Руси. Автор размышляет о месте сведений о событиях в отдаленном "эксклаве" домена Рюриковичей в рассказе о династии и территориальном расширении ее государства и формулирует гипотезы об их происхождении. Кроме того, взяв за основу Список русинских дальних и ближних гордов, он ставит вопрос о функционировании Тмутаракани в сознании авторов и адресатов поздних текстов.
