Пискаревский летописец как источник по истории русско-крымских отношений 1570-х — 1590-х гг.
The Piskarevsky chronicle as a source on the history of Russian-Crimean Relations in the 1570s — 1590s

Summary/Abstract: Formed in its final form in the middle of the 17th century, the Piskarevsky chronicle, based on the original part of which are “notes” of a Moscow official, contains quite lengthy entries devoted to the Crimean raids of 1571, 1572 and 1591 on the Russian capital, as well as the Serpukhov campaign of Tsar Boris Fedorovich. These entries, published according to the style and range of interests, from the pen of one person, preserved many unique, often quite reliable information (especially about Moscow's fire in May 1571 and battles near it after two decades), pass on an oral tradition (revealed in some other narrative memorials of that time) or captured the memories of a contemporary, although sometimes they show certain dependence on “ranks”.
