After the death of the prince Mstislava(ruled: 1125 -1132) Kievan Rus disintegrates
into principalities that are comparable in size to Western European ones
kingdoms. In 1136, an uprising in Novgorod leads
to the emergence of an independent state - Novgorod
republics,
which occupied the territory from the Baltic
sea ​​to the Ural Mountains (in the north).

IN 6th century The Great Migration of the Slavs takes place, the first political associations of the Eastern Slavs appear in the region of the Dnieper and Lake Ilmen. It is known about the existence of 13 tribes: Polyans, Krivichi, Drevlyans, Ulichs, Vyatichi, etc. At that time, the territory of modern Central Russia was inhabited by Finno-Ugric tribes, they gradually assimilated with the Slavs.

The development of crafts in the 8th-9th centuries led to the emergence
cities. Most often they were built at the confluence of rivers,
which served as trade routes. The most famous
trade route of that time - "from the Varangians to the Greeks" on
Novgorod was located in the north of the route, and Kyiv in the south.

IN 862 residents of Novgorod called on the Varangian princes to rule the city
(according to the Norman theory). Prince Rurik became the founder of the princely,
and subsequently the royal dynasty. The Norman theory has been repeatedly refuted by famous historians and scientists (M. Lomonosov, V. Tatishchev, etc.)

After the death of Rurik, he becomes the Prince of Novgorod
Oleg(Prophetic). He captures Kyiv and moves there
capital of Rus'. Subjugates a number of Slavic tribes.
In 907 he made a successful campaign against Byzantium,
receives tribute and concludes a profitable trade agreement.

Prince Igor subjugated the eastern tribes of the Slavs.
In 945 he was killed by the Drevlyans when he tried again
receive tribute from them. Princess Olga(wife) took revenge
to the Drevlyans, but makes the tribute fixed.
In Constantinople she converts to Christianity. In the 16th century it
canonized as saints.

Olga ruled during her childhood Svyatoslav And
continued to rule after her son became prince
in 964 Svyatoslav was in the military almost all the time
hiking. They defeated the Bulgarian and Khazar
kingdoms. Upon returning to Rus', after an unsuccessful
During the campaign against Byzantium (971), he was killed by the Pechenegs.

The death of Svyatoslav led to internecine struggle between
his sons. After the murder of his brother Yaropolk came to power
the prince comes Vladimir.
In 988, Vladimir was baptized in Chersonesus
(now it is a museum-reserve in Sevastopol). Begins
stage of the formation of Christianity in Rus'.

During civil war (1015-1019), after the death of Vladimir, they die
from the hands of Svyatopolk, princes Boris and Gleb (became the first Russian saints).
In the fight against Svyatopolk the prince gains the upper hand
Yaroslav the Wise. He strengthens the state, relieves
Rus' from the Pecheneg raids. It began under Yaroslav
creation of the first set of laws in Rus' - “Russian Truth”.

After the death of Yaroslav the Wise (1054), a division took place
Rus' between his sons - " Yaroslavich Triumvirate".
In 1072, “The Truth of the Yaroslavichs”, the second part, was compiled
"Russian Truth".

After the death of the Kyiv prince Svyatopolk (reign: 1093 - 1113), according to
comes to power at the insistence of the people of Kiev Vladimir Monomakha. During the years of his reign, Kievan Rus strengthened and princely civil strife stopped.
As a result of the agreement at the Dolob Congress of Russian Princes (1103), it was possible to stop the discord and, in subsequent years, defeat the Polovtsian khans with a joint army.

In 1169 Andrey Bogolyubsky ruins Kyiv. He carries
the capital of Rus' in Vladimir. Policy to centralize power
leads to a conspiracy among the boyars. In 1174 the prince was killed in his
palace in Bogolyubovo (suburb of Vladimir).

Consequences of the events of the 13th century.

The events of this century marked the beginning of the Russian lands falling behind the countries of Western Europe. The Golden Horde yoke caused enormous damage to the economic, political and cultural development of Rus'. A significant part of the income in the form of tribute was sent to the Golden Horde. The old agricultural centers fell into decay. The agricultural frontier moved north, the more fertile southern lands were abandoned and became known as the “wild field.” From three-field there was a return to two-field. Russian cities were subjected to massive destruction. Many crafts became simplified and sometimes even disappeared altogether. The human losses were also great. The yoke contributed to feudal fragmentation, ties between principalities were weakened, and the pace of cultural development slowed down.

However, the consequences of even hostile contact between different cultures and civilizations are always ambiguous. The three-hundred-year yoke did not pass without a trace for the Russian people: in a situation of isolation from Europe, Asian traditions took root in the political, economic and cultural life of Rus'.

The culture of our country is so interesting and diverse that I want to study it deeper and deeper. Let's plunge into the history of our country in the 13th century.
A Russian person is a great person; he must know the history of his Motherland.
Without knowing the history of their country, not a single civilized society will develop, but, on the contrary, will begin to lag behind in its development, and perhaps stop altogether.
The period of culture of the 13th century is usually called the pre-Mongol period, that is, before the arrival of the Mongols in our state. During this period of time, Byzantium had a great influence on the development of culture. Thanks to Byzantium, Orthodoxy appeared in Rus'.

The culture of Ancient Rus' of the 13th century is a great creation of the past. Each period of time in history is so unrepeatable that each period separately is worthy of in-depth study. Looking at historical monuments, we can say that culture has entered modern spiritual life. Despite the fact that many works of art have not survived to our times, the beauty of that time continues to delight and surprise us with its scale.

Features of the culture of the 13th century:
- the religious worldview prevailed;
- during this period, many signs were invented, there were no explanations for them by science, and to this day they cannot be explained;
- great attention was paid to traditions, grandfathers were revered;
-slow pace of development;
The tasks facing the masters of that time:
- unity - the unity of the entire Russian people, at that time in the fight against enemies;
- glorification of great princes and boyars;
- assessed all previous historical events. The culture of the 13th century is closely connected with the past.

During this time, literature continued to develop. The work “Prayer” was written by Daniil Zatochnik. The book was dedicated to Prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, son of Vsevolod the Big Nest. The book used colloquial speech combined with satire. In it, the author condemns the dominance of the boyars, the tyranny that they committed. He created a prince who protected orphans and widows, thereby trying to show that good and good-natured people were not extinct in Rus'.
The centers for storing books were still monasteries and churches. Books were copied and chronicles were kept on their territory.
The genre - Life, the main idea - has become widespread. These works were a description of the lives of saints. Particular attention was paid to the lives of monks and ordinary people.

They began to write parables.

An important place in the development of literature was occupied by chronicles, where everything that happened in people's lives was written, everything was described year by year.
Epics glorified the exploits of soldiers who defended their homeland. The epics were based on events that actually happened.

Architecture.

During this period, construction began to develop. As already mentioned, the entire culture of this period was imbued with the trends of Byzantium, which could not have a positive effect on the culture of Rus'. The transition from wooden to stone construction begins.
In addition, Byzantine culture always put the church and icon painting in first place, cutting off everything that contradicted Christian principles.
The coming principles of art collided with the fact that the Eastern Slavs worshiped the sun and wind. But the power of the cultural heritage of Byzantium left its mark on the culture of Ancient Rus'.
The main symbol of the construction of this period of time was the St. Sophia Cathedral. The walls of the cathedral, for the first time in Rus', were made of red brick. The church had five domes, behind them stood eight more small ones. The ceiling and walls were decorated with frescoes and mosaics. Many of the frescoes were not on a religious theme; there were many everyday drawings dedicated to the family of the Grand Duke.
Wood carving has developed greatly. The houses of the boyars were decorated with cuttings.
In addition to churches at this time, the wealthy segments of the population began to build stone houses made of pink brick.

Painting.

The paintings of the 13th century were marked by the cities where the masters worked. Thus, Novgorod painters sought to simplify the style of their craft. He achieved his greatest expression in the painting of the Church of St. George in Staraya Ladoga.
At the same time, they began to paint mosaics directly on the walls of temples. Frescoes became widespread. Fresco is a painting painted with water paints directly on walls covered with plaster.

Folklore.

The history of Rus' is so great that it is impossible not to talk about folklore. Folklore occupies a huge place in the life of the Russian people. By reading epics you can learn about the entire life of the Russian people. They glorified the exploits of heroes, their strength and courage. Bogatyrs have always been glorified as protectors of the Russian population.

Life and customs of the people.

The culture of our country is inextricably linked with its people, way of life, and morals. People lived in cities and villages. The main type of housing was the estate; houses were built from log frames. Kyiv in the 13th century was a very rich city. It had palaces, estates, mansions of boyars and rich merchants. The favorite pastime of the rich population was hunting hawks and falcons. The common population staged fist fights and horse races.
The clothes were made of cloth. The main costume was a long shirt and trousers for men.
Women wore long skirts made of cloth. Married women wore a headscarf. Unmarried girls had long beautiful braids; they could only be cut off when they got married.
Weddings were played on a large scale in the villages; the entire village gathered for them. Huge, long tables were set right in the courtyard of the house.
Since the church played a large role in the life of the population in the 13th century, church fasts and holidays were sacredly observed by the residents.

In the interval from his death to his appearance on the historical stage Dmitry Ivanovich, on Rus' his descendants ruled.

Considering feudal fragmentation, historians by Russia of that period usually mean the principalities of Moscow, Vladimir and Novgorod (sometimes also Kiev and Galicia-Volyn).

Daniil Alexandrovich.

Daniil Alexandrovich- Jr son of Alexander Nevsky, was born at the end of 1261 just two years before his father’s death, so he was raised by his brother Alexandra Yaroslav Yaroslavovich, after whose death in 1272 Daniel became Prince of Moscow.

During the reign of Daniil Alexandrovich in Rus', another civil strife between Nevsky's sons Daniil and Andrey, as well as grandson Ivan and nephew Mikhail from Tver for the principality of Vladimir. Thanks to Daniel’s justice and peacefulness, all rivals were brought together to Dmitrov Congress Russian princes, where partially internecine war managed to stop, but some local conflicts continued to arise.

This civil strife had extremely negative consequences for the economy and culture of Rus' of that period. Daniel's brother Andrey Alexandrovich, for example, asked for help from Golden Horde in this confrontation. The Mongols took this issue seriously and launched a joint campaign with the Horde commander Tudan ( Dudenev's army) turned into the capture and plunder of Murom, Suzdal, Vladimir, Pereyaslavl, Yuryev, Rostov, Uglich, Yaroslavl, Kolomna, Moscow, Zvenigorod, Serpukhov, Mozhaisk and, possibly, other cities about which the chronicles are silent. This was one of the largest pogroms in Rus' since Batu's invasion .

Thus, the Dmitrov Congress was a step forward in the development of diplomacy, although the truce did not last long.

In addition, during his reign, Prince Daniil annexed Moscow Principality territories of Pereyaslavl and Kolomna, and he also tried to do this with Novgorod and Ryazan.

Daniil Alexandrovich built the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in the area of ​​​​the current Assumption Cathedral in Moscow.

Prince Daniil Alexandrovich died in Moscow on March 5, 103, leaving behind five sons.

Ivan Kalita.

Ivan Danilovich (Ivan I, Ivan Kalita), grandson of Alexander Nevsky, was born into the family of Daniil Alexandrovich around 1283. Future Prince of Moscow, Prince of Novgorod And Grand Duke Vladimir Already at the age of 13 he became his father's governor in Novgorod.

In 1325 he became the Prince of Moscow, and three years later the Grand Duke of Vladimir.

Ivan Danilovich was nicknamed Kalita for his habit of always carrying a kalita with small change (kalita - wallet) for the poor; he was known as a generous and fair prince towards the common people.

During his reign, Prince Ivan transported from Vladimir to Moscow metropolitan, and thus made Moscow the spiritual capital of Rus'.

In the 30s of the 14th century, Ivan Danilovich became known as a great diplomat, preventing open military conflicts in the contradictions of Moscow, Novgorod, Tver and Smolensk, as well as restraining the discontent of the Golden Horde due to the irregular payment of tribute by the Russian principalities (its desire to resolve this problem with one military blow was is quite real). In addition, he had to take into account the interests of the Principality of Lithuania in relation to Rus'.

Ivan Kalita built the Assumption Cathedral in Moscow from white stone, the Archangel Cathedral, the Church of St. John, Moscow Kremlin(wooden) and the Cathedral of the Savior on Bor, which, unfortunately, has not survived (it was demolished in 1933). During his time in Moscow the famous Siya Gospel on parchment.

Thanks to the reign of Prince Kalita, peace reigned in the Moscow principality for 40 years (1328-1368), there were no military conflicts - this was the result of a competent policy with the Horde, Lithuania and other Russian princes. In addition, influence and territory Moscow Principality have increased significantly.

Ivan Danilovich Kalita died on March 31, 1340, leaving behind four sons and four daughters. In his honor, the Moskvich automobile plant produced the Moskvich - Ivan Kalita luxury car from 1998 to 2001.

Ivan Krasny.

Ivan Ivanovich (Ivan II, Ivan Krasny, Ivan the Merciful, Ivan Korotky), Prince of Zvenigorod, Prince of Novgorod, Prince of Moscow, Grand Duke Vladimir, great-grandson of Alexander Nevsky, was born into the family of Ivan Kalita.

March 30, 1326 in Moscow. Thanks to his appearance, he received the prefix “Red” (as a synonym for the word “beautiful”). Another version is based on the time of birth (on the Sunday following Easter - Krasnaya Gorka).

The downside of the reign of Ivan the Red was the weakening of the political influence of Moscow, achieved by his father, to the point that the Principality of Lithuania managed to install its metropolitan in Kyiv, and the Principality of Vladimir was lost immediately after his death and Ivan the Red’s son Dmitry had to re-establish his rights to Vladimir the Great .

Ivan Ivanovich died on November 13, 1359. His main achievement was his eldest son (the youngest died at the age of 10) - Dmitry Ivanovich, better known as
