The first recorded mention of the city was 863 AD, two years after the founding of <a href="/wiki/Kievan_Rus%27" title="Kievan Rus'">Kievan Rus'</a>. According to <a href="/wiki/Primary_Chronicle" title="Primary Chronicle">Russian Primary Chronicle</a>, Smolensk (probably located slightly downstream, at the archaeological site of <a href="/wiki/Gnezdovo" title="Gnezdovo">Gnezdovo</a>) was located on the area settled by the East Slavic <a href="/wiki/Radimichs" title="Radimichs">Radimichs</a> tribe in 882 when <a href="/wiki/Oleg_of_Novgorod" class="mw-redirect" title="Oleg of Novgorod">Oleg of Novgorod</a> took it in passing from <a href="/wiki/Veliky_Novgorod" title="Veliky Novgorod">Novgorod</a> to <a href="/wiki/Kiev" class="mw-redirect" title="Kiev">Kiev</a>. The town was first attested two decades earlier, when the <a href="/wiki/Varangians" title="Varangians">Varangian</a> chieftains <a href="/wiki/Askold_and_Dir" title="Askold and Dir">Askold and Dir</a>, while on their way to Kiev, decided against challenging Smolensk on account of its large size and population. </p><p>The first foreign writer to mention the city was the Byzantine Emperor <a href="/wiki/Constantine_VII" title="Constantine VII">Constantine Porphyrogenitus</a>. In <i><a href="/wiki/De_Administrando_Imperio" title="De Administrando Imperio">De Administrando Imperio</a></i> (c. 950) he described Smolensk as a key station on the <a href="/wiki/Trade_route_from_the_Varangians_to_the_Greeks" class="mw-redirect" title="Trade route from the Varangians to the Greeks">trade route from the Varangians to the Greeks</a>.
