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 her
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
by his sons. After the murder of his brother Yaropolk came to power
the prince comes Vladimir.
In 988, Vladimir was baptized in Chersonesos
(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

The culture of our country is so interesting and diverse that I want to study it more and more deeply. 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 construction to stone 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.

The 13th century in the history of Rus' began without any special external shocks, but in the midst of endless internal strife. The princes divided the lands and fought for power. But soon the internal troubles of Rus' were joined by danger from the outside. Cruel conquerors from the depths of Asia under the leadership of Temujin (Genghis Khan - that is, the Great Khan) began their actions. The armies of the nomadic Mongols mercilessly destroyed people and conquered lands. Soon, the Polovsk khans asked for help from the Russian princes. And they agreed to oppose the approaching enemy. So, in 1223 a battle took place on the river. Kalke. But due to the fragmented actions of the princes and the lack of a unified command, the Russian warriors suffered heavy losses and left the battlefield. The Mongol troops pursued them to the very outskirts of Rus'. Having plundered and devastated them, they moved no further. In 1237, the troops of Temuchin’s grandson, Batu, entered the Ryazan principality. Ryazan fell. The conquests continued. In 1238 on the river. The city army of Yuri Vsevolodovich entered into battle with the invader’s army, but turned out in favor of the Tatar-Mongols. At the same time, the South Russian princes and Novgorod remained on the sidelines and did not come to the rescue. In 1239 – 1240 Having replenished the army, Batu undertook a new campaign against the Russian lands. At this time, the unaffected northwestern regions of Rus' (Novgorod and Pskov lands) were endangered by the crusading knights who had settled in the Baltic states. They wanted to force people to accept the Catholic faith on the territory of Rus'. United by a common idea, the Swedes and German knights were about to unite, but the Swedes were the first to act. In 1240 (July 15) - Battle of the Neva - the Swedish fleet entered the mouth of the river. Not you. The Novgorodians turned to the Great Prince of Vladimir Yaroslav Vsevolodovich for help. His son, the young prince Alexander, immediately set off with his army, counting on the surprise and speed of the onslaught (the army was inferior in number, even with the Novgorodians and commoners who had joined). Alexander's strategy worked. In this battle, Rus' won, and Alexander received the nickname Nevsky. Meanwhile, the German knights gained strength and began military operations against Pskov and Novgorod. Again Alexander came to the rescue. April 5, 1242 - Battle of the Ice - troops converged on the ice of Lake Peipsi. Alexander won again, thanks to a change in the formation order and coordinated actions. And the knights’ uniforms played against them; when they retreated, the ice began to break. In 1243 - Formation of the Golden Horde. Formally, the Russian lands were not part of the newly formed state, but were subject lands. That is, they were obliged to replenish its treasury, and the princes had to receive labels for reigning at the khan’s headquarters. During the second half of the 13th century, the Horde more than once made devastating campaigns against Rus'. Cities and villages were ruined. 1251 - 1263 - reign of Alexander Nevsky. Due to the invasions of conquerors, during which settlements were robbed and destroyed, many cultural monuments of Ancient Rus' from the 10th to 13th centuries also disappeared. Churches, cathedrals, icons, as well as works of literature, religious objects and jewelry remained intact. The basis of ancient Russian culture is the heritage of the East Slavic tribes. It was influenced by nomadic peoples, the Varangians. The adoption of Christianity, as well as Byzantium and the countries of Western Europe, significantly influenced. The adoption of Christianity influenced the spread of literacy, the development of writing, education and the introduction of Byzantine customs. This also influenced the clothing of the 13th century in Rus'. The cut of the clothes was simple, and they differed mainly in fabric. The suit itself has become longer and looser, not emphasizing the figure, but giving it a static look. The nobility wore expensive foreign fabrics (velvet, brocade, taffeta, silk) and furs (sable, otter, marten). Ordinary people used canvas fabric, hare fur, squirrels, and sheepskin for clothing.

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'.
