Summary/Abstract: Nestor is the reputed author of the earliest Russian chronicle, was a monk of the Pecherskiy Cloister of Kiev from 1073. The Chronicle begins with the deluge. Many legends are mixed up with Nestor`s Chronicle. The style is occasionally so poetical that perhaps he incorporated bilini which are now lost. The early part rich in these stories, among which are the arrival of the three Varangian brothers, the founding of Kiev, the murder of Askold and Dir, the death of Oleg, who was killed by a serpent concealed in the skeleton of his horse, and the vengeance taken by Olga, the wife of Igor, on the Drevlians, who had murdered her husband. The account of the labors of Cyril and Methodius among the Slays is also very interesting, and to Nestor we owe the tale of the summary way in which Vladimir suppressed the worship of Perun and other idols at Kiev. This study aims to show how exactly early Russian chronicler Nestor described, on the one hand, a personal sexual life of Russian king Vladimir I, and the other hand, a sexual behavior of various tribes. In this research is introduced two terms called eros and logos. Eros means sexual life instinct and the same time logos is divine word and wisdom.
