- Annotation: The article examines the artistic specificity of crime stories about rebellions in Novgorod First Chronicle of the Younger Edition and Moscow Chronicle Collection of the late 15th century. The study concludes that stories about uprisings against or for representatives of secular or ecclesiastical authority belong to the group of “deviant” texts, which depict violent evil, which is manifested either in “instrumental” aggression or in destructive behaviour. All analysed fragments exhibit similar behavioural patterns reflecting a situationally negative deviation: representatives of secular or ecclesiastical authority are forced to submit to the demands of the rebels, while the rebels exert aggressive psychological influence on the representatives of authority through robbery and plunder. Depending on who the rebellion was raised against and what its nature was, the dominant set of leading motives also changes. If stories about organised rebellions repeat the motives of robbery, violent deprivation of power, gatherings of people, battles/brawls, death, intervention of representatives of church or princely authority and restoration of order, then in stories about spontaneous rebellions a huge role is played by the “deviantogenic factor” – a story about a natural cataclysm, which leads to situational deviant behaviour. Accordingly, in these stories the motives of public accusation and/or search for the guilty, the use of physical force and, as in other criminal stories, the motive of restoring order come to the fore.
- Keywords: chronicle, riot stories, poetics of “deviance”, “deviant” text, motive, destructive behaviour.
