Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter VI. LEGENDS, part 1, sentence 6
But whatever may be their origin, they all bear witness to the fact of their having been exposed to various influences, and many of them may fairly be considered as relics of hoar antiquity, memorials of that misty period when the pious Slavonian chronicler struck by the confusion of Christian with heathen ideas and ceremonies then prevalent, styled his countrymen a two-faithed people.
Who acts: whatever, incidents, fact, pious Slavonian chronicler · What happens: be, bear, expose, consider, strike, style · To what, where: origin, witness, incidents, various influences, many, pious Slavonian chronicler
