1359-1389 Dmitry Donoskoy increases Russia's territory

• The same spring God inflicting it on account of our sins, and the devil acting with his help, and by the advice of wicked men, there was a great tumult in Novgorod; they took the Posadnik-ship from Ondreyan Zakharich, but not all Novgorod, only the Slavno quarter, and they gave the Posadnik-ship to Selivester Lentiev. And no small confusion arose in the Yaroslav Court and there was a fight : because the Slavno men had come up unexpectedly in arms, and dispersed the men from across the river who were without arms, and they attacked and robbed many nobles, and killed Ivan Borisov Likhinin. And then the two sides armed themselves against each other; the Sophia side sought to avenge the dishonour to its brothers, and the Slavno side fought for their hves and property. And they stood opposite to each other for three days, for the Slavno men had dismantled the bridge. And they sacked Sehvester's villages, and many villages of the Slavno quarter were seized; and also many innocent people perished then.
