Chronology and angelophany in the plot of the Hipatian Chronicle about campaign against the Cumans in 6619 (1111 A.D.) (1111

Based on the methods of historical imagology, the author attempts to consider the campaign of the coalition of Russian princes against the Cumans in A.D. 1111 in the context of studying the mutual perception of this event both within the categories of the Orthodox culture and through the prism of Turkic ideas about the struggle of protective spirits. The reliability of the chronological information in the Hypatian Chronicle is substantiated, the main stages of the campaign are reconstructed. The context of the dates of the church calendar, specified in the source is also considered. The chronicle's message about the intervention of angels on the side of the Russian troops is compared with the evidence of the dictionary of Mahmud al-Kashgari about the spirits-čiwi who bring victory to the inhabitants of area under their protection. Various translations of the Turkic source into modern languages are presented. It is proven that the chronicle’s text about the battle of the Cumans with angels not only corresponds to the Christian worldview of the author, but also reliably reflects the perception of the situation by nomads themselves. The author of the narrative of the Hypatian Chronicle presented the message of his Cuman informant in the language of his own culture. The latest evidence on the Turkic perception of the angelomachy is examined: the text in the narration of Ötemish-haji about the battle between the armies of Chingizids Berke and Hulagu, as well as later information on protective spirits in Turkic demonology of the New Age
