Nestor the Chronicler
Saint Nestor the Chronicler ( 1056 – c. 1114, in Kiev, Kievan Rus') was the reputed author of the "Primary Chronicle", (the earliest East Slavic chronicle), "Life of the Venerable Theodosius of the Kiev Caves", and "Account about the Life and Martyrdom of the Blessed Passion Bearers Boris and Gleb."
In 1073, Nestor became a monk of the Monastery of the Caves in Kiev. The only other detail of his life that is reliably known is that
art was not discussed. The XIIth Archeological Congress however was planned to take place in Kharkiv - a region that was a major hub for kobzar art. This was one of the reasons why the art of kobzars was included in the program of the proceedings. There are indications that professor M. Dashkovych, the head of the Nestor the Chronicler Society, made the uggestion that the conference focus its attention to the art of the kobzars.
The organizational committee of the conference was led by Kharkiv University professor and noted ethnographer M. Sumtsov
