- Abstract
- The article considers social concepts of «startsi» («старци») and «stareishiny» («старѣишины») in the «Primary Chronicle» and the Old-Slavic «Octateuch». It is traditionally argued, that references to the stareishiny describe certain pre-state, «tribal» realities. Nevertheless, the «Primary Chronicle» contains only one entry, where «startsi» and «stareishiny» are mentioned in regard to the period of emerging of Rus (the episode of the Polans’ tribute to the Chazars). On the contrary, other mentionings are related to the princely, or «Kievan» period. Among others, these concepts are widely used in the description of the rule of Vladimir Svyatoslavich. Information adduced in the chronicle is marked by strong infl uence of the biblical books and some other literary sources.
