Abstract

The article analyzes the role of the Archbishop Nifont in the Novgorod events of 1136. The identification of the church of St. Nicholas, consecrated by him, with the Nikolo-Dvorishchensky Cathedral is proved, and the significance of this act for the new Prince Svyatoslav Olgovich is estimated. The article analyzes Nifont's refusal to marry Svyatoslav, showing that the reason for this lay in canonical problems with his and/or his wife’s previous marriage, but also that the archbishop’s position was not irreconcilable, which allowed this wedding to take place. Good relations between Nifont and Svyatoslav are also confirmed by a mutually beneficial ecclesiastical charter, which is proposed to be dated March-August 1137. Finally, an indication of their mutual amiability is analyzed in the entry of the Kiev Chronicle under 1156, and it is shown that the word “not” is lost in the motivation of this affection in the expression “because Syatoslav did sit [not] without him in Novgorod,” which allows to develop the already put forward hypothesis about Nifont’s role in the invitation of Svyatoslav to Novgorod. Probably, the archbishop met him during his ambassadorial visit to Kiev and Chernigov in the winter of 1135–1136, when the discontent of the Novgorodians with their Prince Vsevolod was already clearly manifested.

尼丰大主教在1136年诺夫哥罗德事件中的作用

本文分析了尼丰大主教在1136年诺夫哥罗德事件中的作用。经他祝圣的圣尼古拉教堂与尼古拉-德沃什申斯基大教堂的身份已得到证实，这一行动对新公爵斯维亚托斯拉夫·奥尔戈维奇的意义已得到估计。文章分析了Nifont拒绝与Svyatoslav结婚的原因，表明其原因在于他和/或他妻子之前的婚姻存在规范问题，但大主教的立场并非不可调和，这使得这场婚礼得以举行。尼丰和斯维亚托斯拉夫之间的良好关系也得到了一份互利的教会宪章的确认，该宪章的日期拟议为1137年3月至8月。最后，在1156年的《基辅纪事》条目中分析了他们相互友好的迹象，表明“不”这个词在这种感情的动机中消失了，在表达“因为Syatoslav在诺夫哥罗德没有他的情况下坐着”，这允许发展已经提出的关于Nifont在邀请Svyatoslav到诺夫哥罗德中的作用的假设。也许大主教是在1135年到1136年的冬天，在他对基辅和切尔尼戈夫的大使访问中遇到他的，当时诺夫哥罗德人对他们的弗谢沃洛德亲王的不满已经很明显地表现出来了。
