Mythologemes of Battle of the Neva

Narrative description of the Battle of the Neva in the national historiography is based on sources that contain logical contradictions and allow factual inaccuracies. Analysis of these sources allows questioning the accuracy of the conventional interpretation of the Battle of the Neva. As a result the author comes to the conclusion that the Battle of the Neva is more myth than the historical fact.
