They drove Svyatoslav, the son of Oleg, out of Novgorod

• The same year they sent to Suzdhal for Gyurgi Volodimirits ; and on the 23rd of that month the people took alarm: for they had falsely said that Svyatoslav was outside the town with the men of Pleskov; and the whole town went out to Silnishche/ and it was nothing at all, but Svyatoslav's wife with his best men were taken prisoners in Novgorod, and Svyatoslav himself the men of Smolensk took on the way and kept guard over him in the monastery at Smyadino, likewise his wife in the monastery of St. Barbara in Novgorod, awaiting examination by Yaropolk and Vsevolodko.
