The publication sheds considerable light upon the history of Mezen Land - the region located in the north-central Russia, on the Mezen River, which historically connected the Slavs with the Siberian Region. Its history is revealed in a great number of bylinas reflecting the first lays of Novgorod retinues and contacts of the Old Russians with the Nenets and the Permians, the data on voevodes, settlements and navigable trade routes.
