The same year, for our sins, there were great fires in Russia; Moscow, Vologda, Vitebsk were burnt, and Yurev of the Germans (Tartu, Estonia) was entirely burnt down.
The same year the Veliki Knyaz Ivan wished to go with the men of Novgorod and with the whole of the Low Country against Pskov, and he had a friendly conference with the men of Novgorod, and they deferred the march; but they did not grant peace to the men of Pleskov.
The same year the Veliki Knyaz Ivan having come to Torzhok from Novgorod, the Lithuanians ravaged the district of Novi-torg, while there was peace, and the Veliki Knyaz having sent [a force] burned the Lithuanian town of Osechen and Ryasna, and many others.
The same autumn ice and snow drifted into the Volkhov, carrying away fifteen stays of the great bridge ; God knows whether this was in punishment or in mercy. God did not allow any bloodshed among the brethren : the people stood on either side of the Volkhov having taken up arms against each other at the prompting of the devil, but God guarded [against it] and they united in love.
