The 6th century AD. The collapse of the clan system among the Dnieper (Eastern) Slavs. United by a common language, way of life, and culture, the Dnieper Slavs, forced to defend themselves against marauding raids by nomadic tribes, come to understand the need to act together. Thus the foundations of the Kyiv state are laid.
“Rus’ from the very beginning” is a many-layered work. Yet two lines are clearly drawn within it: the Slavs and Byzantium. At the very time when major creative work goes on in Rus’, the mercenaries of the Second Rome destroy myriads of “heretics,” devastate Asia Minor, Egypt, and North Africa, and burn Italy with war—while the Eastern Empire, already beginning to thin out, fiercely defends slaveholding orders and the interests of an autocratic church.
In this novel, Valentin Ivanov appears not only as a writer but also as a researcher—a historian. “Rus’ from the very beginning” is the first work, not only in Russian but also in world literature, devoted to the era of the 6th century.
