Summary/Abstract: The article examines the information on the Bulgarian Tsar Kaloyan in the Russian Chronograph, one of the few Slavic sources which contains evidence about this ruler. There are four mentions of Kaloyan in the Chronograph and so far only one of them has attracted the attention of scholars. In the present text the other three mentions of tsar Kaloyan are considered, their original sources are analyzed and an explanation for the discrepancies is sought. Unpublished editions and transcripts of the Russian witnesses are involved in the study. The chronograph clearly defines the place of Tsar Kaloyan - he is a ruler who successfully competed with the Byzantine Empire.
