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.

The author presents the state of research and a critical review of existing hypotheses, as well as a historical summary of issues related to the dating and attribution of the so-called Taman bracteates. It is an excellent example of the importance of the archaeological context, without which any interpretation is doomed to be based on more or less probable hypotheses. The author does not believe it possible today to attribute these „bracteates” to Vsevolod II Olgovič or to Mstislav Vladimirovič, at least for now; he is also critical of any consideration in this context of the seal attributed to Michael Oleg Svyatoslavič, as this artifact may very well be a modern fake. He shares the doubts of some researchers regarding the authenticity of newer finds of single „bracteates”. He favors distinguishing three separate „bracteate” types: the first, bearing the so-called sign of the Rurikids, should be viewed as being of 11th c. date (it resembles the sign on coins of Svyatopolk I), whereas the other two, both with representations of the archangel Michael, would be of 12th and 13th c. date respectively. The source base today is insufficient in the author’s opinion to determine who issued these so-called Taman bracteates and when. The situation may change with new finds coming from archaeological contexts.
