HISTORICAL OUTLINE

Primitive society

resettlement primitive man on the territory of the Russian Federation took place in the era of the ancient Stone Age (Paleolithic), characterized by the predominant use of stone for the manufacture of tools and weapons. Wood, bone and other materials were also used. The main occupations of small human groups were hunting and gathering. Traces of habitation ancient man, which came from Transcaucasia, were found in the North Caucasus and in the Kuban region. Sites of the Mousterian Paleolithic culture (100-35 thousand years ago) were discovered by archaeologists in the middle Volga region and other regions. Burial discoveries, according to scientists, testify to the development of religious beliefs. In the Upper or Late Paleolithic (40-35 - 10 thousand years ago) people modern type(Cro-Magnons) lived in certain areas of Eastern Europe and Siberia (the Urals, Pechora, West Siberian Lowland, Transbaikalia, the valley of the middle Lena). They own numerous archaeological sites (Avdeevskaya camp, Sungir, Kostenki, Malta, Buret, etc.). Collectives of blood relatives on the maternal or paternal lines (clan) lived in the conditions of the last (Valdai) glaciation. Adapting to the harsh natural conditions, they improved the technique of processing stone, bone, etc., mastered the construction of dwellings; introduced specialization in hunting and other crafts. During this period, hunting for large mammals prevailed: mammoths, cave bears, etc. The comprehension of the surrounding world was reflected in sculptures and cave paintings (Kapova Cave).

AT period of the Middle Stone Age (Mesolithic), people adapted to changing natural conditions associated with the retreat of the glacier and the formation of the modern relief, climate, flora and fauna. Small groups of hunters and fishermen moved into the areas freed from glaciation. With the invention of the bow and arrows in hunting, the prey of medium and small mammals acquired a large place, waterfowl; large areas of inland water bodies contributed to the development of fisheries. Researchers attribute the emergence of group burial grounds to this period (Oleneostrovsky burial ground, etc.).

At the last stage of the Stone Age (Neolithic), the formation of branches of the productive economy began: agriculture and cattle breeding. In the manufacture of stone tools, grinding and polishing, as well as sawing and drilling, were used. Pottery, spinning and weaving arose. For transportation, boats, skis, sledges were used. By the end of the Neolithic, individual copper items appeared. In the course of the complication of tribal society, associations of individual clans appeared - tribes. At the same time, groups of tribes led the same type of economy, which is confirmed by excavations and studies of pit-comb and other archaeological cultures of the Neolithic (Lyalovskaya, Balakhna, etc.).

AT During the Copper Age (Eneolithic), agriculture, cattle breeding and copper metallurgy developed initially in the southern regions of Eurasia. AT 4th-2nd millennium BC e. settlements of settled farmers and pastoralists existed in the North Caucasus; Ukraine, Moldova (Trypillian culture); steppes of the South of Russia (pit culture), etc.

Archaeological monuments of the Bronze Age have been discovered almost throughout Eurasia. By the 1st half of the 3rd millennium BC. e. include monuments of the Bronze Age in the Caucasus, in the Northern Black Sea region, etc. At the end of the 3rd -1st quarter of the 2nd millennium BC. e. the technology of bronze smelting was mastered by the tribes of the forest-steppe and forest zones of Eastern Europe, Western Siberia, Altai-Sayan region. Preserved mainly primitive communal form social organization. Scientists have established the existence of bronze age independent territorially isolated groups of the population with peculiar features of spiritual and material culture ( cultural groups, archaeological

cultures, cultural and historical communities). In the southern zone (Caucasus, Central Asia, partly South Siberia) agricultural and cattle-breeding complexes with developed handicraft production arose. In the steppe, forest-steppe, and partly in the forest zones, the cattle-breeding type of economy prevailed, with the auxiliary role of agriculture. In the forest (taiga) zone, cattle breeding was combined with hunting and fishing. There were long-term settlements where handicraft production developed. Early Bronze Age in Transcaucasia

and in the North-Eastern Caucasus there was a Kura-Araks agricultural and cattle-breeding culture. Relations were maintained with the civilizations of the Middle East. In the Late Bronze Age central regions Caucasus, the Koban culture spread. On the territory of the steppes of Eastern Europe lived cattle-breeding tribes of the pit cultural and historical community, which arose back in the Copper Age. At the end of the 3rd - the middle of the 2nd millennium BC. e. in the Upper

and The Middle Volga region and the interfluve of the Oka and Volga were inhabited by the carriers of the Fatyanovo and Balanovo cultures. In the forest-steppe zone of the Don region, the Middle Volga region and in the Southern Urals in the middle 2nd millennium BC e. the tribes of the Abashev cultural and historical community lived, which are characterized by a high level of development of metallurgy, based on the Ural and Volga copper deposits. In the 2nd half of the 2nd - the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. e. on the territory from the Urals to the Left Bank of the Dnieper, cattle-breeding and agricultural tribes of the Srubnaya cultural and historical community were located. The Seima-Turbinsky cultural complex, which originated in the Sayano-Altai region, spread thousands of kilometers to the West. In Siberia, the Afanasiev culture in the upper reaches of the Yenisei and the Altai steppes belonged to the Eneolithic - the early stage of the Bronze Age, the Glazkov culture in the Baikal region and the Ymyyakhtakh culture in the basin of the middle Lena belonged to the early Bronze Age. The spread of metallurgy in Eastern Siberia associated with the influence of the Okunev culture, presumably formed in the Minusinsk Basin and forced out to the East by the tribes of the Andronovo cultural and historical community. The Andronov tribes occupied in the 2nd half of the 2nd - the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. e. the territory from the Urals to the Yenisei and from the taiga zone to the northern regions of Central Asia (Alekseevsky settlement, etc.). The Karasuk culture (13-8 centuries BC) was discovered in the upper reaches of the Yenisei, Ob, in the Sayano-Altai region. In the south of the Far East in the 2nd half of the 2nd - the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. e. there were Sinegai, Lido, Evoron and other cultures. In the Bronze Age, the process of social division of labor intensified, the exchange between tribes increased. The craft has become an independent sphere of production. The heads of large patriarchal families possessed considerable wealth; property differentiation intensified, clashes between tribes became more frequent. In the Bronze Age, alliances of tribes arose, described later ancient historians and geographers.

Ancient peoples and states in the early Iron Age

In the 1st half of the 1st millennium BC. e. iron metallurgy spread over a large territory of Russia (except for the northern and northeastern regions), in connection with which the decomposition of primitive communal relations accelerated. At the same time, in the North - in the taiga and tundra, in harsh natural conditions, the archaic primitive way of life was preserved. In the North Caucasus, iron tools were created from the 9th-6th centuries. BC e. under the influence of iron and blacksmithing in Transcaucasia. The transition to the production of iron is traced on the material of the Koban, Srubnaya, Abashev and other cultures. The formation of the Iron Age in the Black Sea steppes coincided with the presence of the Cimmerians there, and then the Scythians. Formed 2 economic structure: cattle-breeding-nomadic in the steppes and settled agricultural in the forest-steppes. The emergence of handicraft centers, which developed into urban ones, with a significant military potential, contributed to the emergence of a state among the Scythians. Scythian and Scythian-like cultures of the 7th-4th centuries. BC e. within the territory of South Eastern Europe constituted the western part of a large cultural and historical community formed in

mainly among the nomadic pastoral tribes of Eurasia (the so-called Scythian-Siberian cultural and historical community).

In the 6th-5th centuries. BC e. on the north and east coast Black Sea, ancient cities arose, united in the 5th century. BC e. in the Bosporan state, which also included Sinds, Meots, and other tribes. Greek slave cities were centers of high ancient culture, they established close economic, political and cultural ties with the Scythians and other peoples. In the 4th c. BC e. began the movement from the Urals to the Volga region of the Sarmatian tribes. The Sarmatians defeated the Scythians and in the 3rd c. BC e. settled in the steppes of the Northern Black Sea region and in the North Caucasus. In the steppe zone, by the turn of the 2nd-1st centuries. BC e. became the dominant Sarmatian culture. Scythian state, which existed from the 2nd century. BC e. mainly on the territory of the Crimea and along the banks of the lower Dnieper, was influenced by ancient cities and Sarmatian culture.

Iron-making production developed in the forest-steppe and forest zones of the Dnieper basin. The population of the Zarubintsy culture (2nd century BC-2nd century AD) in the upper and middle parts of the Northern Dnieper and Desenye regions is correlated by some scientists with the tribes of the Balts, by others with the Proto-Slavs. In the forest area of ​​Eastern Europe from the 8th c. BC e. by 6th-7th centuries n. e. there were cultures associated with different ethnic groups. On the territory of the Volga-Oka interfluve, monuments of the Dyakovo culture were found, to the South and East from the middle reaches of the Oka and to the Volga (basins of the Tsna, Moksha, Sura rivers) the Gorodets culture spread. The carriers of these cultures were Finno-Ugric tribes, the ancestors of Meri, Vesi, Meshchers, Muroms and Mordovians. Representatives of the Ananyino culture (8th-3rd centuries BC) occupied the left bank of the Middle Volga and the Kama region. They are considered the ancestors of the Udmurts and Komi. From 8-5 centuries. BC e. iron was being developed Far East. Here the centers of ferrous metallurgy were formed.

AT process of the great migration of peoples in Northern Black Sea region in 3 c. n. e. the Goths came, in 375 the Huns. ancient cities ceased to exist. In 2nd half of the 3rd c. in the steppe and forest-steppe from the left tributaries of the Dnieper to the Danube, the poly-ethnic Chernyakhov culture spread. Its carriers were Dacians, Getae, Sarmatian-Alans, late Scythians, Goths, Slavs. From the middle of the 1st millennium AD. e. there was a decomposition of primitive communal relations among many agricultural and pastoral peoples living in Eastern Europe and Siberia. In 550-562, the union of nomadic tribes of the Avars moved from the Urals and the Volga region to the North Caucasus and the Northern Black Sea region. In the middle of the 6th c. in Central Asia, a tribal union of the Turks created a state - the Turkic Khaganate, which played important role in the consolidation of the Turkic-speaking population of Eurasia. In the 60s. 6th c. The Turks defeated the state of the Hephthalites in Central Asia. At the turn of the 6th-7th centuries. East Turkic and Western Turkic Khaganates arose. In 638-926, in the southern Primorye, there was a state of the Mohe tribe and another - Bohai, which successfully fought against the emperors of Tang China. In the 2nd half of the 6th c. Turkic-speaking Bulgarian Balanjar tribes moved from the Trans-Urals to the North Caucasus. In the 1st third of the 7th c. in the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov, the state formation Great Bulgaria arose. In the middle of the 7th c. nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes Lower Volga, North Caucasus, Sea of ​​Azov and the Don steppes were included in the Khazar Khaganate. The Finno-Ugric tribes of the Middle Volga region and immigrants from Great Bulgaria created in the 10th century. state - Volga-Kama Bulgaria. At the turn of the 9th-10th centuries. there was a process of formation of the state among the Alans in the North Caucasus.

East Slavs

Eastern Slavs were one of the three groups ancient Slavs, who stood out along with Western and southern Slavs from the common Slavic ethnolinguistic community. Common features of their ethnic appearance were formed in the 6th-9th centuries. on the territory of Eastern Europe as a result of the regrouping of Slavic tribal associations: Antes, Sklavins, Dulebs and

etc. The Eastern Slavs interacted with the Balts, Finno-Ugric peoples, descendants of the Sarmatians, Turks and contacted the Arabs, Byzantines, Scandinavians, etc. By the 9th-10th centuries. they occupied the space from Lake Peipsi and Ladoga in the North to the Black Sea in the South; from the Eastern Carpathians in the West to the lower Oka in the East. The Eastern Slavs were engaged along with slashing, field arable farming and settled cattle breeding, as well as hunting, fishing, beekeeping and other crafts. Crafts developed (iron production, blacksmithing, jewelry, pottery, etc.). Trade connections were supported on the way "from the Varangians to the Greeks" and along the Volga. They lived mainly in territorial communities, the settlements were grouped in nests. In the 9th-10th centuries. cities appeared on the East Slavic lands: Kyiv, Ladoga, Novgorod, Polotsk, Rostov, Chernigov, etc. Tribal unions headed by local princes arose: glades, drevlyans, northerners, Ilmen Slovenes, Krivichi, Dregovichi, Radimichi, Vyatichi, Ulich, Tivertsy, etc. Being pagans, the Eastern Slavs worshiped Perun - the god of thunder, Khors - the god of the sun, Volos - the patron of wealth and livestock, etc.

ancient Russian state. Ancient Russian principalities. Novgorod Republic

In the last quarter of the 9th c. two centers Eastern Slavs Novgorod and Kyiv were united by the princes of the Rurik dynasty, which marked the beginning of the formation of the Old Russian state. Arab, Iranian and Central Asian geographers knew 3 political formations of Russia (9-10 centuries): Kuyavia, Slavia, Artania. According to the "Tale of Bygone Years", in the 9th-10th centuries. there were reigns in the lands of the Drevlyans, Polochans, etc. The territorial core of the emerging statehood in the Middle Dnieper was the political, and then the state formation of the Russian Land (Rus). Archaeological excavations have established that in the middle of the ninth century. on the so-called. Rurik settlement (in the area of ​​modern Novgorod) a princely residence arose in which the Scandinavians lived. According to scientists, the emergence of this center is associated with an annalistic report about the calling of the prince "from overseas" by the top of the Slavic and Finno-Ugric tribes. The local nobility concluded an agreement with the invited prince, according to which the collection of income from subject tribes was carried out by representatives of the local elites, and not by the prince's squad. This agreement formed the basis of the traditional relationship between the Novgorodians and the princes. Glades, northerners, Radimichi, Vyatichi were in the 9th century. depending on the Khazar Khaganate. According to The Tale of Bygone Years, the princes Askold and Dir, who ruled in Kyiv, liberated the glades from the Khazar dependence. In the 2nd half of the 9th c. rivalry between the "North" and "South" for dominance among the Eastern Slavs intensified. In 882, according to The Tale of Bygone Years, Prince Oleg with Rurik's young son Igor captured Kyiv and made it the capital of the state, and then liberated the lands of the northerners and Radimichi from the Khazar tribute. The Old Russian state at that time was a kind of federation of principalities, headed by the Grand Duke of Kyiv, who took the title of Khakan, equalizing him with the rulers of Khazaria. The central government in Kyiv gradually liquidated the local East Slavic principalities. Constantinople campaigns 9-10 centuries. strengthened Russian-Byzantine relations and in general the international position of the state. Princess Olga, who had contacts with the Roman Church, however, around 957 adopted Christianity from Constantinople. Prince Svyatoslav Igorevich defeated in the 60s. 10th c. Khazar Khaganate, but could not gain a foothold on the Danube. In the Old Russian state, 3 socio-economic structures coexisted: primitive communal, slave-owning and emerging feudal. Princes and representatives of the senior squad (boyars) became landowners. Slaves served in private households, performed various functions in the princely domain, were used as artisans and joined in agriculture. In the presence of communal ownership of land, the foundations of state, church and private hereditary (princely, boyar, peasant, etc.)

land ownership, which had some regional and temporal features. A special type of feudal landownership arose - a fiefdom. Cities became major centers crafts and trade.

Vladimir I Svyatoslavich, who established himself in Kyiv in 980, tried to establish an all-Russian pagan pantheon, which included Perun, who was considered the patron of the prince and his squad, Khors, Simargl and other deities. Continuing the policy of state consolidation, Vladimir came to the conclusion that it was necessary to establish monotheism in Russia. The baptism of Russia in 988-89 through the adoption of Christianity from Byzantium predetermined for many centuries spiritual development Russia. The Russian Orthodox Church strengthened the authority of princely power. Vladimir managed to eliminate the former federal structure and annexed the southwestern and western lands. From the composition of the senior combatants, a circle of permanent advisers to the prince was formed, the prototype of the so-called. Boyar Duma. Even during his lifetime, Vladimir distributed the management of individual lands to his sons. During the civil strife that arose after the death of Vladimir (1015), on the orders of Svyatopolk I the Accursed, his half-brothers Boris and Gleb were killed. Yaroslav the Wise, who expelled Svyatopolk, reigned in Kyiv in 1019. After the death of his brother Mstislav Vladimirovich (1036), who ruled the lands along the left bank of the Dnieper, Yaroslav became the sole head of state, which occupied a vast territory from Taman Peninsula to the Northern Dvina and from the Dniester and the upper reaches of the Vistula to the upper reaches of the Volga and Don. The foreign policy relations of the princely house were sealed by marriage alliances with the rulers of Poland, France, Hungary, Scandinavian countries. Russia successfully fought against the claims of Byzantium to dominance in the Northern Black Sea region and the Dnieper region, as well as against the expansion of nomads: Pechenegs, Torks, Polovtsians. Yaroslav appointed the Russian priest Hilarion as metropolitan. Grand Duke Kyiv contributed to the development of book learning, invited builders, architects and painters. Spiritual and cultural centers became monasteries.

The tendency towards disunity of the Russian lands was revealed after the death of Yaroslav (1054). This was facilitated by the growth of economic independence of cities - the centers of the lands (Novgorod, Chernigov, Polotsk, etc.). In 1073 Yaroslav's sons Svyatoslav and Vsevolod expelled their older brother Izyaslav from Kyiv. In the 2nd half of the 11th c. princely civil strife swept the Volyn, Galician, Rostov, Suzdal, Ryazan, Tmutarakan lands. intensified external danger from the Polovtsian, Polish, Hungarian and other rulers. In 1097, a congress of Russian princes in the city of Lyubech adopted a decision on the inheritance of the lands of their fathers and on the independence of their possessions. The Kyiv princes Vladimir II Monomakh (ruled 1113-25) and his son Mstislav (ruled 1125-32) tried to strengthen the state, but in the 2nd quarter of the 12th century. it has entered the final phase of its development. At the end of 10-12 centuries. high level reached ancient Russian culture. Original and translated monuments of writing were created, which became a model for the subsequent development of Russian literature and books ("The Tale of Bygone Years" and others. chronicles, the lives of Saints Boris and Gleb, Theodosius of the Caves and others, the works of Metropolitan Hilarion, Abbot Daniel, Vladimir II Monomakh; Russian Truth). In the era of the Old Russian state, on the basis of the East Slavic and some other tribes, the Old Russian nationality developed.

Novgorod occupied a special place in the history of ancient and medieval Russia. In the 9th-11th centuries. the power of the Novgorod boyars was based on large state corporate land ownership. Veche institutions were formed. Relations with princes were regulated by a tradition dating back to an agreement with princes invited in the middle of the 9th century. At the same time, a hereditary reign did not develop in Novgorod. During the 11th century the will of the veche was repeatedly decisive in leaving this or that prince on the Novgorod table. Under Vladimir II Monomakh, the last attempt was made to keep the Novgorod boyars in obedience. In 1118 the boyars were summoned to Kyiv, sworn allegiance, some of them were accused of abuse and imprisoned. In 1136, the boyars and the merchant elite, taking advantage of popular discontent, expelled Prince Vsevolod Mstislavich from Novgorod.

The supreme power in the Novgorod Republic belonged to the veche, which elected the posadnik, the thousandth (previously appointed by the princes), archbishop (since 1156). Princes were invited to perform mainly military functions. Later, the boyars created their own body of power - the "council of gentlemen", a true government Novgorod Republic. In the 11th-15th centuries. Novgorod expanded its territory to the East and North-East. Obonezhie, the basin of the Northern Dvina, the banks of White Sea and other lands. Until the middle of the 13th century, legally until 1348, Pskov land was part of the Novgorod Republic. Novgorod landowners supplied furs, walrus tusk, hemp, wax and other goods to Western Europe. Cloths, metals, weapons, wines, jewelry were imported. Novgorod was not only a trade, but also a highly developed craft center. Novgorodian culture was distinguished by its bright originality. Known 900 birch bark letters, which testify to the high degree of literacy among Novgorodians.

AT 10th c. on a branch of the path "from the Varangians to the Greeks" in the basin of the rivers Western Dvina, Berezina, Neman, the Polotsk principality arose. At the end of the 10th c. Vladimir Svyatoslavich killed the prince of Polotsk Rogvolod. Around 1021, under Vladimir's grandson Bryachislav Izyaslavich, the separation of Polotsk from Kyiv began. Prince Vseslav Bryachislavich (ruled in 1044-1101) during internecine war with Izyaslav, Svyatoslav and Vsevolod Yaroslavich was captured by deceit and imprisoned in Kyiv. Liberated by the rebels of Kiev, in 1068-69 he ruled in Kyiv. In the 12th century in Polotsk, along with Polotsk, Minsk, Vitebsk, and other principalities arose.

Kiev principality in the 12th century. included about 80 urban centers and was the most important outpost that defended Southern Russia from nomads. Despite the weakening of the influence of the Kyiv princes on other principalities, Kyiv was still considered by the princes as main center Russia. The most important feature the struggle for the Kyiv table was a fierce rivalry between the two princely dynasties of the Monomakhs - the descendants of Vladimir II Monomakh

and Olgovichi - descendants of Oleg, son of Svyatoslav Yaroslavich. AT 1st half of the 13th c. in connection with the strengthening of the Galicia-Volyn principality, as well as the devastation of the Kyiv land by the troops of Batu Khan, Kyiv's influence on South Russia was lost.

AT Northeast Russia in the 11th-12th centuries. dominated by the Rostov-Suzdal principality. Prince Yuri Dolgoruky (reigned in 1125-57) waged a stubborn struggle with the South Russian princes for the Kyiv table. In 1157, in connection with the transfer of the capital from Suzdal to Vladimir, the Grand Duchy of Vladimir was formed on the Klyazma. Grand Dukes Andrei Bogolyubsky and Vsevolod Big Nest rendered significant influence on the policy of Murom, Ryazan, Chernigov, Smolensk, Kyiv principalities and the Novgorod Republic. In the 60-80s. 12th c. A number of campaigns were made against the Volga-Kama Bulgaria. The Grand Duke of Vladimir became the eldest in North-Eastern Russia. At the end of the 12th century the retinue organization in the Grand Duchy of Vladimir and other principalities of Northeastern Russia was replaced by the so-called. court (later Sovereign's court) with a staff of military servants, which marked the beginning of the formation of the nobility.

The Chernihiv principality and the entire Left Bank of the Dnieper separated from Kyiv under Prince Mstislav Vladimirovich in 1024, but after his death (1036) it was returned by Yaroslav the Wise to the Old Russian state. In 1054, according to the will of Yaroslav, it was allocated to his son Svyatoslav. In the 12th-13th centuries. the descendants of Svyatoslav and his sons Davyd and Oleg (Olgovichi) - Vsevolod Olgovich, Izyaslav Davydovich, Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich, Vsevolod Svyatoslavich Chermny, Mikhail Vsevolodovich reigned in Kyiv. Since 1097, princely possessions arose as part of the Chernigov principality with centers in the cities of Novgorod-Seversky, Putivl, Rylsk, Kursk, and others. The principality ceased to exist during Mongol conquests in 1239.

The largest state in Southwestern Russia was Galicia-Volyn principality, formed in 1199 under Prince Roman Mstislavich as a result of the unification of the Galician and Vladimir-Volyn principalities. Roman and his son Daniel fought against the Galician boyars, who had great economic and political power.
