- Annotation: The article is devoted to a question that has for a long time confused researchers of «The tale of Icon of the Mother of God dedicated to Saint Theodore Stratelates, its appearance and miracles», a literary monument of the 17th - 18th centuries: which Kostroma prince was named Vasily, as it was him who, according to the Tale, discovered the image of the Mother of God on the branches of a tree near Kostroma city and then supervised the bringing of the icon to Kostroma. In the most famous and widespread edition of the Tale, called the extended one, this prince is called the Grand Prince Vasily Georgieyvich Kvashnya, the grandson of Alexander Nevsky; however, the only Kostroma prince named Vasily known to us is Vasily Yaroslavich, the younger brother of Alexander Nevsky (1241-1276). The article examines the opinions of researchers of the 1st half of the 18th century on this matter: the unknown author of the “Notice of the Grand Prince Vasily of Kostromaˮ of 1719, as well as Leontiy (secular name Luka Pavlov), the hegumen of the Monastery dedicated to Macarius of the Yellow Water Lake and the Unzha, who is now considered to be the author of Kostroma hagiography of Saint Prince George II of Vladimir and the “News of the years in which the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos dedicated to St Theodor appeared in Kostromaˮ. An explanation is offered for the appearance of the patronymic “Georgiyevichˮ in the extended edition of the Tale: its author, Theodor, the archpriest of the Assumption Cathedral of Kostroma Kremlin, actually mixed up the personalities of two brothers, princes, the glorified saint Georgiy Vsevolodovich and Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, and he considered the names Yaroslav and Georgiy to be the family and baptismal names of the same Grand Prince, the parent of Vasily Yaroslavich.
