This was also an invented tradition, albeit one that could trace its roots back to Bogoliubskii’s appropriation of the symbolism of the icon of Vladimir/Vyshhorod, and to the first attempts by Simeon the Proud, grand prince of Moscow from 1341 to 1353, to assert control over the entire Church of Rus. The creation of the new myth was a function of several factors: Moscow’s growing ambitions after the fall of Byzantium; the final casting off of ‘the Tatar yoke’ in 1480 (Ivan’s military campaigns against Novgorod had already doubled the size of the state, making it a serious European player for the first time); and the growing ability of secular power to impose its historiographical needs on church chroniclers after the local appointment of metropolitans began in 1448. .... — 398 с. — ISBN 978-0-300-27249-9.

Serhii Plokhy.The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Return of History. — W. W. Norton & Company, 2023-05-09. — С. 4—9 - The origins of that myth go back to the mid-fifteenth century, the earliest years of the Grand Principality of Moscow, later known as Muscovy, as an independent state. Its founder was Ivan the Great, the ruler of Moscow and one of the many descendants of the Kyivan princes who established Moscow’s rule over a huge realm extending from Nizhnii Novgorod in the east to Great Novgorod, or simply Novgorod, in the west. It was in the midst of Ivan’s war against Novgorod, one of the heirs of Kyivan Rus’, that the myth of Russia’s Kyivan origins was born, originally as a dynastic claim. Ivan declared himself the heir of the Kyivan princes, claiming the right to rule Novgorod on that basis. He defeated the Novgorodians at the Battle of Shelon in 1471 and absorbed the republic into his realm in 1478. The independent Russian state, born of the struggle between Moscow and Novgorod, resulted from the victory of authoritarianism over democracy. ... The conquest of Novgorod also symbolized the victory of Ivan’s dynastic claim to be the sole legitimate heir of the Kyivan princes. In the coming years he would use that status again and again to claim more Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian lands. The powerful historical myth of the Russian dynasty’s Kyivan origins underlay the policy of newly independent Muscovy—a policy of conquest.10. — 298 с. — ISBN 978-1-324-05120-6.

Serhii Plokhy.The Russo-Ukrainian War: From the bestselling author of Chernobyl. — Penguin Books Limited, 2023-05-16. — С. 51 - Like Stepashin, Putin was expected to protect Yeltsin from the attacks of his political opponents and prove his ability to win elections. Putin was successful in both tasks. Even before his appointment to the prime ministerial office, he proved his loyalty to Yeltsin by going after his foes. As head of the Federal Security Service, he provided videotape of a rendezvous that Yeltsin’s critic Attorney General Yurii Skuratov had with prostitutes in a Moscow apartment. Skuratov had informally coordinated security services on behalf of Yeltsin’s political opponents. Now his career was all but finished, while Putin’s prospects improved: he was soon appointed secretary of the Security Council and was on the way to becoming prime minister.35. — 269 с. — ISBN 978-1-80206-179-6.
