Later in the Kievan period of Russia other sources were written, such as the ''Novgorod Chronicles'', that enriched knowledge about this early history and either confirmed the ''Primary Chronicle'' or corrected its biases.
Despite being most commonly known in English as the '''''"Russian''' " Primary Chronicle'', the modern political state known as ''Russia'' did not exist in the period in question. Some scholarly sources have suggested that ''Rus''' instead of ''Russian'' may be more correct. In any event, the document itself is most often known in Slavic sources simply as the ''Primary Chronicle''.
