1224-00-00-Rus territory	1224 JL	Famine and plague/pest in the Rus territory. Upraising of magicians in Suzdal’ city.	[6532] В се же лѣто въсташа волъсви в Суждали, избиваху старую чадь къ дьӕволю наоущенью и бѣсованью, глаголюще, ӕко си держать гобино. Бѣ мѧтежь великъ и голодъ по всеи тои странѣ; идоша по Волзѣ вси людьє в Болгары, и привезоша [жито] и тако ѡжиша. Слъıшав же Ӕрославъ волхвы, приде Суздалю; изъимавъ волхвы, расточи, а другъıми показани, рекъ сице «Богъ наводить по грѣхомъ на куюждо землю гладом(ъ) или моромъ, ли ведромь, ли иною казнью, а человѣкъ не вѣсть ничтоже».<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a>	In this year (1224), magicians appeared in Suzdal', and killed old people by satanic inspiration and devil worship, saying that they would spoil the harvest. There was great confusion and famine throughout all that country. The whole population went along the Volga to the Bulgars from whom they bought grain and thus sustained themselves. When Yaroslav heard of the magicians, he went to Suzdal'. He there seized upon the magicians and dispersed them, but punished some, saying, "In proportion to its sin, God inflicts upon every land hunger, pest<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a>, drought, or some other chastisement, and man has no understanding thereof".<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a>		None
1224-00-00-Vladimir-Suzdalian Rusia	1224 JL	Massive death of birds due to carbon monoxide poisoning caused by forest and peat fires.	Toгo жe лѣтa [6732] бѣ вeдpo вeлми, и мнoзи бopeвe и бoлoтa зaгapaxyтьcя, a дымoвe cилнiя бяxy тoгдa, якo нe видѣти чeлoвѣкoмъ; бѣ бo якo мглa къ зeмли пpилeглa, якo птицaмъ пo aepy и нe бѣ лзѣ лѣтaти, нo пaдaxy нa зeмлю и yмиpaxy.	There was great heat that year [6732] and many of the forests and mudflats burst into flames, and the smoke was heavy, unlike anything people had seen at that time. They were like fog that clung to the earth, so that the birds could not fly in the air, but fell to the ground and died.	Симеоновская летопись, in: Полное Cобрание Pусских Летописей, vol.
