Siberian Letopises

Some of the chronicles were compiled later, such as Записки к Сибирской истории служащие (Notes, Dedicated to the History of Siberia) and Новая Сибирская летопись (New Siberian Chronicle) by I. Cherepanov, Летопись г. Иркутска с 1652 г. до наших дней (Chronicle of the City of Irkutsk from 1652 to present day) by P. Pezhemsky, Краткая летопись Енисейского и Туруханского края Енисейской губернии (A Brief Letopis of the Yenisey and Turukhansk Krais of the Yenisey Guberniya) (1594–1893) by A. I. Kytmanov.

The questions of origins and authenticity of the Siberian Letopises were dealt with in different ways by the Russian historiographers.

He thought the companions of Yermak Timofeyevich to compile the so-called Написание, како приидоша в Сибирь (Notes on How We Came to Siberia) in 1621, which did not survive to the present day.

Based on these notes, they compiled the so-called Синодик Тобольского собора in 1622, or Synodikon of the Tobolsk Cathedral (синодик, from the Greek word synodikón, which means a list of the dead submitted to church for remembrance in prayer).

Around that time, the so-called Описание Новые Земли Сибирского государства (Description of the New Lands of the Siberian State) was written by Nikifor Venyukov.
