Description:
One of the most enigmatical events between Rus and Byzantine is the war of 1043.
There are no any mentions about its recones and consejuences in cronicles. Taking
to consideration the cronicles about murales of St. Sophia of Ky³v, it is possible to
solve this problem in a new way.
The article proves, the war was caused by the extraordinary situation, according
to which Ruricds had the dynastic advantages over the emperors, which replaced the
Macedonsky dynasty.
