Historiography speculatively assumes that hagiographic Life of Alexander Nevskiy is dat-
ed by late XIII century, and therefore, is based on the recollections of witnesses and di-
rect participants in the events. The article explains that it was written in the period of
1381-1383 years and is a compilation of the Life of the Pskov Prince Timothy (Dovmont).
The author of the Life, presumably, was the Metropolitan Dionysius of Suzdal.
Keywords:
Life of Alexander Nevskiy, Metropolitan Dionysius of Suzdal, Life of Dovmont
of Pskov, the Battle of Neva, Battle on the Ice, canonization of Saints in the Russian
Orthodox Church.
