Abstract

“Povest vremennykh let”, known as “Tale of Bygone Years” in English, is the first historical work independently completed by the East Slavs. The history of East Slavs and the ancient Ross has been handed down to the world thanks to “Povest vremennykh let”. “Povest vremennykh let” not only recorded the birth, development, and establishment of the ancient Ross state power, but also detailed the process of the establishment of the lofty status of Christianity as a sole legal religion in the Ross state. In addition, Nestor, the author of “Povest vremennykh let”, used the narrative technique of historical event sanctification to integrate the establishment of the ancient Ross and the spread of Christianity in Ross, and made a religious interpretation of the history of ancient Ross. This article will analyze the religious consciousness contained in “Povest vremennykh let” as a historical book.
