The article applies the comparative method to the study of the sources on the Battle of Vyssa River to identify the role that the princes Trubetzkoy and M.A. Beznyn played in it. The comparison is focused on three aspects: dating, geographical location and number and identity of the participants. In addition, since some sources contain their particular conceptions of the events, these conceptions are also subjected to a comparative analysis.
