History of Red Mountain

The first historical mention of Krasnaya Gora dates back to 1387. The settlement was then used as a guard settlement. In the immediate vicinity of Popova Gora, a battle took place between the six thousandth Polish army Hetman Vyshnevetsky and the brave Cossacks Bogdan Khmelnitsky.

In ancient times, Popova Gora was the center of the Popovogorsk volost and the Popogorsk hundreds. The city became a regional center within the Bryansk region in 1929. It was only in 1968 that the authorities granted the education the status of a city.

The most historically valuable town is considered to be the ancient settlement, on which the ancient fortified bastion was supposedly located, as well as the Radimich barrows, famous throughout Russia. According to the annals, the Radimichi tribe of the 9th-12th centuries represented the Slavic surname of the peoples. The Tale of Bygone Years says that the Radimichi descended from the Poles, who agreed to pay tribute to Russia. However, there is no certainty in the words of representatives of science.

chronicle evidence

The origin of the ethnonym is associated with the name of the leader Radim, under whose leadership the Slavs from the Lyash lands moved to the Bryansk forest, more precisely, in the Sozh basin. The migration of peoples in the Middle Ages was considered a trifling matter. Such examples can even be found in fiction - remember "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Marquez. Looking for a better life and with a strong desire to build a new just society, young people left their parental homes and set off towards the unknown.

In the Bryansk province, the Radimichi paid a residence tax and were subordinate to the local princes, although they had tribal leaders, regular troops, and a clear distribution of duties.

Prince Oleg obliged to pay tribute, who established Slavic power over these territories, pushing back the Khazars. In 907, Radimichi already took part in Oleg's legendary campaign against Tsargrad. True, after some time, the Radimichi freed themselves from the Kyiv authorities, but the campaign against the rebellious vassals again made them a forced people. The commander of the Wolf's Tail defeated detachments of Radimichi on the Peshchan River. The lands of the last departed Kievan Rus.

The last mentions in the history of the ethnos send us back to the 12th century. Apparently, the tribe assimilated with other Slavs. Most could have died as a result of the Mongol invasion.

archaeological sites

Ancient burial mounds, in which archaeologists discovered household items and jewelry from the Radimichi era, gave the world many interesting milestones in the history of Kievan Rus. In the 19th century, scientists demonstrated that temporal rings with seven rays were densely concentrated in Posozhye. Judging by their distribution, the territory of the Slavic tribe stretched from the Dnieper to the Sozh interfluve. On the other side of the Dnieper, the lands of the Dregovichi began. Radimichi also came into contact with northerners and Vyatichi. These are just as beautiful places as.

Before assimilation with other Slavic tribes and the adoption of the Christian faith, the Radimichi burned the dead like pagans. They believed that only in this way the soul of the deceased enters the abode of light (the Sun). The guides will show you the places of the past rituals. Jewelry and other fragments with which the dead were burned were burned on funeral pyres. However, many handicraft items have survived to this day.

Krasnaya Gora is a unique place for connoisseurs of Slavic history and culture. In the local museum you can find monuments from the turn of the millennium, which testify to the high cultural level of the Slavic ancestors.
