1. “And he commanded his soldiers to make wheels and put ships on wheels. And with a fair wind they raised their sails and went across the field to the city. The Greeks, seeing this, were frightened and said through the ambassadors: "Do not destroy the city, we will give you whatever tribute you want." And he stopped the soldiers, and brought him food and wine, but did not accept it, because it was poisoned ... And he ordered to give tribute to two thousand ships: twelve hryvnias per person, and there were forty husbands in each ship.
2. “... He let his retinue go home, and he returned with a small part of the retinue, desiring more wealth. The Drevlyans, having heard that he was coming again, held a council with their prince Mal: "If a wolf gets into the habit of sheep, he will carry out the whole herd until they kill him; so is this one: if we do not kill him, then he will destroy us all." And they sent to him, saying: "Why are you going again? You have already taken all the tribute." And he didn't listen to them...
3. “And they sent with the words: “You, prince, are looking for a foreign land and take care of it, but you left your own, And the Pechenegs and your mother and your children almost took us. Don’t you feel sorry for your fatherland, your old mother, your children?”
4. “And he set up idols on a hill outside the terem courtyard: a wooden Perun with a silver head and a golden mustache, then Khors, Dazhbog, Stribog, Simargl and Mokosh. And they offered sacrifices to them, calling them gods, and brought their sons and daughters to them, and these sacrifices went to demons, and defiled the earth with their sacrifices. And the Russian land and that hill were defiled with blood.
5. “... He commanded to overturn the idols - to chop some, and burn others. Perun also ordered to tie a horse to the tail and drag him ... to the Stream and assigned twelve men to beat him with rods. This was done not because the tree feels anything, but to desecrate the demon who deceived people in this image, so that he would accept retribution from people.
6. “His mother taught him to be baptized, but he did not think to heed it; but if someone was going to be baptized, he did not forbid it, but only mocked, saying: "How can I alone accept a different faith? And my team will mock." She said to him: “If you are baptized, then everyone will do the same.”
7. “And a terrible miracle was seen. The Russians, seeing the flame, threw themselves into the sea water, trying to escape - and so the rest of them returned home. And having come to their land, they told - each to their own - about what had happened and about the boat fire. “It’s like heavenly lightning,” they said, “the Greeks had with them, and, letting it go, they burned us; that’s why they didn’t overcome them.”
8. “They expelled the Varangians across the sea, and did not give them tribute, and began to rule themselves, and there was no truth among them, and clan stood against clan, and they had strife, and began to fight with each other. And they said to themselves: "Let's look for a prince who would rule over us and judge by right." And they went across the sea to the Varangians ... ".
9. “When he grew up and matured, he began to gather many brave warriors, and he was fast, like a pardus (leopard), and fought a lot. On campaigns, he did not carry carts or cauldrons with him, he did not cook meat, but, thinly slicing horse meat, or animal meat, or beef and roasting it on coals, he ate it like that; he did not have a tent, but slept, spreading a sweatshirt with a saddle in his head - the same were all his other soldiers. And sent to other lands with the words: "I want to go to you." And he went to the Oka River and the Volga, and met the Vyatichi ... ".
10. “And there were Pechenegs without number. He stepped out of the city and executed a squad, and placed the Varangians in the middle, and on the right side - the Kyivans, and on the left wing - the Novgorodians; and stood before the city. The Pechenegs attacked and fought on the spot where St. Sophia, the Russian Metropolis, now stands: there was then a field outside the city. And there was a fierce slaughter ... And the Pechenegs ran in all directions, and did not know where to run, some, fleeing, drowned in Setoml, others in other rivers, and the rest of them run somewhere to this day.

“The Varangians appeared in Eastern Europe when the Kievan state had already taken shape.

Clashes with the local population took place with varying success ... The only time in the entire Middle Ages that the leader of the Varangian detachment, together with the northern Slavs, managed to fraudulently, pretending to be the owner of a merchant caravan, seize power in Kyiv for a while ... No offspring in Russia, this imaginary founder of the state did not leave."

“The Varangians appeared in Eastern Europe when the Kievan state had already taken shape.

Clashes with the local population took place with varying success ... The only time in the entire Middle Ages that the leader of the Varangian detachment, together with the northern Slavs, managed to fraudulently, pretending to be the owner of a merchant caravan, seize power in Kyiv for a while ... No offspring in Russia, this imaginary founder of the state did not leave."

Specify the correct answer.
After the death of Rurik, his relative Oleg, as the eldest in the family, began to rule the country, who was also the guardian of his young son. Having become a prince, Oleg entrusted control to the boyar (the boyars - the highest stratum of society - were vassals of the prince and were obliged to serve in his army, and were senior members of the squad), and with the army moved south, took possession of Smolensk and sailed to the Dnieper. Approaching the Kyiv mountains, he hid the squad in boats and sent to Askold and Dir to tell that the Varangian merchants wanted to see their fellow countrymen. When Askold and Dir arrived, Oleg took Igor in his arms and said: “You are not princes and not a princely family, but the son of Rurik!” At these words, the warriors jumped out of the boats and killed Askold and Dir. Oleg remained to reign in Kyiv, saying: "Be this city the mother of Russian cities." So in 882 Kyiv became the capital of the Russian state, and Rus became Kievan.
In the future, Oleg conquered the Drevlyans, northerners, Radimichi. Oleg managed to unite in his hands all the main cities along the great path. This was his first target. Thus, all the main tribes of the Russian Slavs, except for the outlying ones, and all the most important Russian cities, gathered under his hand. Kyiv became the center of a large state and freed the Russian tribes from Khazar dependence. Throwing off the Khazar yoke, Oleg tried to strengthen his country with fortresses from the eastern nomads (both Khazars and Pechenegs) and built cities along the border of the steppe. Hoping for more valuable booty, he made a trip to Byzantium in thousands of boats. Having passed the Black Sea and the Bosporus (or the Strait of Constantinople), the Russians stopped at Tsargrad, went ashore and began to kill people and burn the surrounding houses and churches. Then they pulled the boats ashore, put them on wheels, pulled on the sails, and, when a fair wind blew, they moved by land to the city. The Greeks got scared, sent food and wine to Oleg and asked for peace. Oleg did not take any food or wine, guessing that they contained poison, but he agreed to peace. The emperor gave him a lot of gold, expensive fabrics, and, moreover, allowed Russian merchants to travel freely to Constantinople for trade.
Oleg's activity was indeed of exceptional importance: he created a large state from disunited cities and tribes, brought the Slavs out of the subordination of the Khazars and arranged, through agreements, trade relations between Russia and Byzantium; in a word, he was the creator of Russian-Slavic independence and strength.
The capture of Kyiv by Oleg opens a new page in Russian history - the period of the so-called Kievan state, or Kievan Rus. Unlike the previous southern Russian formations of the state type in earlier periods, located on the Don and in the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov, the Dnieper river route - "Varangian to the Greeks" - is now becoming the main geographical axis of the Russian state. For Oleg, however, Kyiv was only the first, albeit the most important, point on the way to the South. The southern Dnieper region remained in the hands of the Magyars for a number of years, and it was about thirty years after the conquest of Kyiv that Oleg began his first campaign against Constantinople. Nevertheless, Kyiv remained a stronghold in all his subsequent campaigns to the south, and therefore we consider the date of Oleg's arrival in Kyiv an important milestone.

D.S. Likhachev in the article "The Baptism of Russia and the State of Russia" wrote about the significance of the adoption of Christianity in Russia:
“Paganism was not a religion in the modern sense. It was a rather chaotic collection of various beliefs, cults, but not a teaching. This is a combination of religious rites and a whole heap of objects of religious veneration. Therefore, the unification of people from different tribes, which the Eastern Slavs so needed in the X-XII centuries, could not be carried out by paganism. Meanwhile, the desire to escape from the oppressive influence of loneliness among sparsely populated forests, swamps and steppes, the fear of formidable natural phenomena forced people to seek associations. Time and events demanded knowledge of the world and history on a large scale...
The true creator of the vast empire of Russia - Prince Vladimir I Svyatoslavich in 980 makes the first attempt to unite paganism throughout the entire territory from the eastern slopes of the Carpathians to the Oka and Volga, from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. After creating the pantheon of gods in Kyiv, he sent his uncle Dobrynya to Novgorod, and he "set an idol over the Volkhov." However, the interests of the country called Russia to a more developed and more universal religion. The latter was supposed to serve as a kind of introduction of Russia to world culture. And it is no coincidence that this entry into the world arena was organically connected with the appearance in Russia of a highly organized literary language, which would consolidate this initiation in texts, primarily translated ones. Writing made it possible to communicate not only with modern Russian cultures, but also with past cultures. It made it possible to write one's own history, a philosophical generalization of one's own national experience and literature.
The Christianization of Russia and the kinship of the ruling family with the Byzantine court introduced Russia into the family of European peoples on completely equal grounds.
Thanks to Bulgarian writing, Christianity immediately appeared in Russia in the form of a highly organized religion with a high culture. That church writing, which was transferred to us by Bulgaria, is the most important thing that gave Russia baptism. Christianity as a whole contributed to the emergence of consciousness of the unity of mankind.
Bulgarian writing immediately allowed Russia not to start literature, but to continue it and create works in the first century of Christianity that we have the right to be proud of.
1. Why did paganism no longer satisfy the level of development of East Slavic society?
Paganism is not a strict religious system, representing a chaotic collection of various beliefs and cults, therefore the unification of the Slavic tribes. The Old Russian state could not be strong under the domination of paganism. In addition, paganism did not satisfy the desire of the Slavs to know the world.
2. What attempts to reform paganism did Vladimir I make? Why didn't they succeed?
Vladimir I tried to create a single pantheon of pagan gods. However, the pagan reform did not satisfy the cultural, political, moral and cognitive needs of the ancient Russian society.

Russia joined Christian and world culture, literature, painting, and architecture were developed.

7. Consider the historical situation (the baptism of Russia) and answer the questions. Why did Prince Vladimir choose Eastern Christianity over Byzantium? Why did Vladimir start a war with the state from which he decided to accept a new faith?
The adoption of Christianity from Byzantium was facilitated by the long-standing trade and cultural ties of this country with Russia. The Byzantine Empire was the most powerful and richest state among the neighbors of Russia, it was prestigious to accept religion from it. At the same time, Prince Vladimir did not want to ask for faith, but decided to achieve equality with Byzantium, becoming related to the imperial dynasty. This could only be achieved by force.

9. Information from historical sources about the relationship of the Slavs with the Varangians causes different assessments of historians. What assessments do you know, what arguments are given in the dispute? Which assessment do you think is more convincing? Give provisions, facts that argue your chosen point of view.

2) Anti-Normanists. Many annalistic evidence is called into question, pointing to the bias of the authors.
10. What are the main prerequisites for the formation of the state among the Eastern Slavs.
