Résumé anglais Fighting with Invisible Enemies Prince Davyd Rostislavič and the Troubles in Smolensk (1180-1197) The present paper discusses sources and interpretations of an episode in the political history of the Western Russian city of Smolensk. Some chronicles, mainly the wellknown First Chronicle of Novgorod and Hypatian Chronicle, tell us that during his reign in the city, Prince Davyd Rostislavič (1180-1197) experienced several serious conflicts with the city's elite and/ or population. Based on these assertions, Russian and Soviet historiography has made quite bold assessments on the nature and evolution of Smolensk's socio-political structure over Davyd's reign and the pre-Mongol period as a whole. A re-examination of these historiographical positions, and then of the sources, leads us on the contrary to a rather negative conclusion.
