Summary/Abstract: This paper argues for a reconsidering of the generally accepted age of Moses Ugrin: not 60 years in 1043, in the year of his death, but around 45 years. The author specifies also “the black spot” in the biography of Moses and argues with Plotnikoff, the author of the novel “George Ugrin”, concerning the age of George, the younger brother of Moses. He also offers in the article the specification of the time and the reasons of the arrival in Russia of the three Hungarian brothers, Ephraim, Moses and George. The author believes that the most probable time of their arrival is the year 1008 and declines to accept the hypothesis about their Transylvanian, rather than Moravian origin.
