The Tale of the Destruction of the Russian Land[a] (Old East Slavic: Слово ѡ погибели Рꙋскыꙗ земли[b], romanized: Slovo o pogibeli Russkoi zemli[2]) is a text of Old East Slavic literature dating back to the 13th century and known from two manuscripts of the 15th and 16th centuries.[3] It is a reflection on the Mongol invasion of Rus.[4]
This is one of the most significant works in the Old East Slavic genre of the word, which is considered the forerunner of the essay genre.[5] The text is not fully known, as only fragments of it have survived.[4]
