metadata.value: The term Slovenin from Yaroslav’s Law (1010s) is considered in this article as the basis for
  interpretation of information about that population at the lake Ilmen’ region, which was named Slovene
  in the chronicles since the late 1030s. In Yaroslav’s Law Slovenin was opposed to the prince’s Rusin. The
  Slovenin, like the izgoy mentioned in the immediate neighborhood of him, was not included in the system of
  relations of the prince’s men, and this system did not determine their social status. The proximity of terms
  Slovene and Novgorodtzi in the annalistic articles of 1018 and 1036 indicates that the owners of mansions
  at the boroughs of Novgorod (the local boyars) — and not the inhabitants of Rurik’s hill-fort (original
  Novgorod) — started to be named as Novgorodians right after transmission of the prince’s residence in
  the first half of 1010s to the locality, which was called Yaroslav’s Court. Slovenin from Yaroslav’s Law
  reflects day-to-day ethnosocial lexis of Novgorod in the early 11th century and this makes understandable
  the political context of begining of perception of Slovene as the name of Novgorodians by Russian annalistic
  tradition, which was formed during the late 1030s. The Annalist, as is seen from the entry of 1036, did not
  make difference between Slovene and Novgorodians, but the mention of the latter in Yaroslav’s Law was
  inadmissible because of the socio-topographic uncertainty of the toponym Novgorod in the 1010s.
  Annalistic Slovene at the lake Ilmen’ region in the 9th–10th centuries is the secondary and hypothetical concept
  in relation to Slovenin from Yaroslav’s Law. Actually we know nothing about the existence of ethnonym
  Slovene somewhere in upper reach of the Volkhov river during the 9th century. The Annalist undoubtedly
  projected the meaning of the legal term of Yaroslav’s Law to the Novgorod Slovene of annalistic narratives.
  Thus, the annalistic passage of the difference between the sails of Slovene and Rus’, who participated
  in the campaign of Oleg to Constantinople, looks like a rather artificial transfer of the problem of their
  inequality, which was actual for early 11th century Novgorod, to the year 907. At the time when traditions
  referring to the events of the 9th–10th centuries were fixed by the developed Old Russian annalistic tradition,
  the term Slovenin from Yaroslav’s Law was not completely forgotten. Reproduction of Slovenin in the
  extensive edition of Russian Law (the early 12th century) is anachronism but nevertheless it testifies to at
  least «passive» existence of this ethnosocionym during the whole 11th century. However, the name Slovenin
  mentioned among other ethnonyms in the canonical answers of the Novgorod Bishop Nifont (1131–1156)
  seems to have already a wide meaning «Slav», typical for the Old Russian literary tradition.
