This 1982 edition, released by the Leningrad branch of Nauka within the prestigious "Literary Monuments" series, offers the first complete scholarly publication of a remarkable work of 17th-century Russian literature. "A Tale of the Victories of the Muscovite State" is a unique historical and literary monument that reflects the burgeoning national consciousness of Russia following the turbulent Time of Troubles.
Written in the late 1620s or early 1630s, the Povest' provides a vivid, stylized account of the military triumphs of the Muscovite state, specifically focusing on the heroic defense against Polish-Lithuanian intervention. Unlike standard dry chronicles, this text is imbued with a "rhetorical" style—a transition between medieval hagiography and the budding secular historical narrative. It celebrates the restoration of the Russian monarchy and the military prowess of leaders like Prince Dmitry Pozharsky.
The edition was meticulously prepared by the renowned researcher G. P. Enin, under the editorial guidance of the great historian of Old Russian literature, Alexander Panchenko. It includes a full transcription of the text based on the surviving manuscripts, comprehensive historical and philological commentaries, and an extensive introductory article that analyzes the work’s place in the evolution of Russian political thought.
The volume is illustrated with reproductions from 17th-century manuscripts and engravings, providing visual context to the military and courtly life of the era. For historians of the 17th century, specialists in Old Russian literature, and collectors of the "Literary Monuments" series, this 1982 volume is an essential scholarly resource and a testament to the rigorous academic standards of the Leningrad school of philology.
