Wow, I didn't know that Kirov (Khlynov) was originally an Udmurt town (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/История_Кировской_области):
In the 7th - 10th centuries, the first nationalities were formed on the Vyatka land. By the beginning of the II millennium A.D. NS. the tribes of the Mari, Udmurts and Komi were formed. Throughout the territory of the Upper Kama interfluve, a network of Udmurt settlements appears, concentrated about two centers - first the southern (right bank of the middle Kama), and then the northern (the area between the Cheptsa River and the middle Vyatka), where the Udmurts moved, which later became the basis for the future city Khlynov. [...]
Local written legends speak of the arrival of two detachments of Novgorodians to Vyatka. According to legend, in 1181 a detachment of Novgorodians seized the "Bolvansky town", which was inhabited by "Otyaks and Chud", which stood on the right bank of the Vyatka near the Cheptsa River, settled in it, and renamed it Nikulitsyn [5]. Another detachment captured the town of Koksharov, renaming it Kotelnich. After an unnamed time, both detachments united and created a common city of Khlynov [6].
> "And having chosen a place beautifully above the Vyatka River near the mouth of the Khlynovitsy River on a high mountain, what is now called Kikimorskaya, the place is more convenient for general settlement and from this mountain the sources of waters flowing out of the mountains are glorious.

> And by general agreement, at the appointed time, the people of the Novgorodians, who had come together on this mountain, began to build a city a place to build and prepare a tree for a location to create a city. And in the morning, having acquired some kind of divine providence, all the production was carried along the Vyatka river below to a higher, more spacious place and a wide field, like at that time the Balyasko field was being transformed. The residents of Novgorod, with all their retinue, pray to the Lord God and His Mother of God the Most Holy Theotokos for showing the place for the building of the city by sending praise and singing prayers.

> And in that place, at the beginning, I set up a church in the name of the Exaltation of the honest and life-giving cross of the Lord and the city of arranging and naming it the Khlynov city of the river for the sake of Khlynovitsa [7]."
Mass migration to the territory of the Vyatka Territory begins after the Tatar-Mongol invasion: people, fleeing from the destructive invasion, moved further to the North.
I wonder who were the people who were called Chuds in the legend.
