I want to know the answer to the following question:
Where were the Limen Slavs located before Kievan Rus?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In the northern region around Novgorod were the Ilmen Slavs and neighboring Krivichi, who occupied territories surrounding the headwaters of the West Dvina, Dnieper, and Volga Rivers.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
