In this short book, Charles J. Halperin examines the transformation of the myth of the Rus’ Land.

Initially associated exclusively with the Dnieper River valley, the myth was transferred in the 14th century to the Suzdal region (translatio of the Rus’ land), where Moscow rulers (Vladimirovichi, a branch of the Rurikids dynasty) monopolized it.
