Introduction
The period of the XIII – XV centuries is very important for the history of our country. It is at this stage that Rus' begins to actively restore its strength after Batu’s pogrom, population growth occurs, and it develops intensively feudal land tenure. The struggle to overthrow the yoke of the Golden Horde became the main national task in Rus', which led to the strengthening of integration processes.
When writing the work, we set ourselves following goals– to trace the development of historical and cultural processes that took place in Rust in the 13th – 15th centuries. Identify their main milestones and the reasons that prompted these processes.
Our objectives are: to consider the characteristics of socio-economic and political development Russian lands during the period feudal fragmentation, studying the reasons that led to the fall Tatar-Mongol yoke, consideration of the main stages in the formation of the Moscow state.
1. Features of the socio-economic and political development of Russian lands during the period of feudal fragmentation.
By the end of the 12th century, the fall of Kyiv became completely obvious. This magnificent city, which aroused the surprise of foreigners with its beauty and wealth, began to become poorer and deserted. The population of Kyiv and the surrounding Dnieper volosts began to look for other places to settle, fleeing from the Polovtsian devastation and princely strife. It went more and more often to the west, towards the Carpathian Mountains, or to the north, to forest area Vyatichi and further beyond it, into the so-called “zalesye” on the upper and middle Volga. And so, on the outskirts of the Russian land, to replace the old Kyiv, by the 13th century, new centers of state life appeared.
The Mongol-Tatar invasion could not break the trends economic development Rus'. However, both in Southern and Northern Rus' during the second half XIII century the growth of crafts and rural production paused. According to Russian chronicles, immediately after the conquest of Rus', the restoration of crafts began. The constant mention of “masters” in Mongol-Tatar labels and their active participation in veche meetings indicate their numbers and importance as a social stratum. At the same time, during this period there was a process of a certain primitivization of crafts and even the disappearance of some complex industries, which was combined with an increase in the production of simple products.
In the second half of the 13th century popular performances were extremely insignificant. These were mainly acts of resistance to tribute collectors, for example in Novgorod in 1257 and 1259, and in a number of cities of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality in 1262. In 1289, an uprising broke out in Rostov, which had a pronounced anti-Tatar orientation. These uprisings contributed to the abolition of the practice of tax farming.
The beginning of the 14th century left its mark on the history of the future Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian peoples. Actually Russian state began to form on the basis of the Grand Duchy of Vladimir, the Ukrainian and Belarusian peoples became part of the Polish-Lithuanian state. Starting from the first decades of the 14th century, speaking about the Russian state, we will mean only North-Eastern Rus' and state entities, grown on its basis.
However, the first division of lands took place under Vladimir Svyatoslavich; from his reign, princely feuds began to flare up, the peak of which occurred in 1015-1024, when only three of Vladimir’s twelve sons remained alive. Divisions of land between princes and strife only accompanied the development of Rus', but did not determine one or another political form government organization. They did not create a new phenomenon in political life Rus'. Economic basis And main reason feudal fragmentation is often considered subsistence farming, the consequence of which was the lack of economic ties.
The essence of feudal fragmentation is that it was new form state-political organization of society. It was this form that corresponded to the complex of relatively small feudal worlds not connected with each other and the state-political separatism of local boyar unions.
The first reason for feudal fragmentation was the growth of boyar estates and the number of smerds dependent on them. The 12th and early 13th centuries were characterized by further development boyar land ownership in various principalities of Rus'. IN different lands In Rus', economically powerful boyar corporations began to take shape, striving to become sovereign masters of the lands where their estates were located. They wanted to administer justice to their peasants themselves and receive fines from them. Many boyars had feudal immunity (the right of non-interference in the affairs of the estate), "Russian Truth" determined the rights of the boyars. However Grand Duke sought to retain full power in his hands. He interfered in the affairs of the boyar estates, sought to retain the right to judge the peasants and receive vir from them in all the lands of Rus'. The Grand Duke, considered the supreme owner of all the lands of Rus', and their supreme ruler continued to regard all princes and boyars as his own service people, and therefore demanded that they participate in the numerous campaigns he organized. These campaigns often did not coincide with the interests of the boyars and tore them away from their estates. The boyars began to feel burdened by serving the Grand Duke, which led to numerous conflicts. The contradictions between the local boyars and the Grand Duke of Kyiv led to the former’s increased desire for political independence. The boyars were also driven to this by the need for their own, close princely power, which could quickly implement the norms of the “Russian Truth”, since the power of the grand ducal virniks, governors, and warriors could not quickly real help boyars of lands remote from Kyiv. The strong power of the local prince was also necessary for the boyars in connection with the increased resistance of the townspeople and smerds to the seizure of their lands, enslavement, and increased extortions.
The increase in clashes between the smerds and townspeople and the boyars became the second reason for feudal fragmentation. The need for princely power locally, the creation state apparatus forced local boyars to invite the prince and his retinue to their lands. But when inviting the prince, the boyars were inclined to see in him only a police force and military force, not interfering in boyar affairs. The princes and squad also benefited from such an invitation. The prince received a permanent reign, his land patrimony. The squad was also pleased. Princes and warriors had the opportunity to receive a stable rent-tax. At the same time, the prince, having settled in one land or another, as a rule, was not satisfied with the role that the boyars assigned to him, but sought to concentrate all power in his hands, limiting the rights and privileges of the boyars. This inevitably led to a struggle between the prince and the boyars.
The third reason for feudal fragmentation was the growth and strengthening of cities, as new political and cultural centers. During the period of feudal fragmentation, the number of cities in Russian lands reached 224. Their economic and political role, as the centers of this or that earth. It was on the cities that the local boyars and the prince relied in the fight against the great Prince of Kyiv. The increasing role of the boyars and local princes led to the revival of urban veche meetings. The veche, a unique form of feudal democracy, was a political body. In fact, it was in the hands of the boyars, which excluded real decisive participation in the government of ordinary townspeople. The boyars, controlling the veche, tried to use the political activity of the townspeople to their advantage. Very often the veche was used as an instrument of pressure not only on the great, but also on the local prince, forcing him to act in the interests of the local nobility. Thus, cities, as local political and economic centers that gravitated towards their lands, were a stronghold for the decentralization aspirations of local princes and nobility.
The reasons for feudal fragmentation should also include the decline Kyiv land, caused by constant Polovtsian raids and the fact that the power of the Grand Duke, whose land patrimony decreased in the 12th century, was somewhat shaken.
Rus' broke up into 14 principalities, and a republican form of government was established in Novgorod. In each principality, the princes, together with the boyars, “thought about the land system and the rath.” Princes declared wars, made peace and various alliances. The Grand Duke was the first (senior) among equal princes. Princely congresses have been preserved, where issues of all-Russian politics were discussed. The princes were bound by a system of vassal relations. It should be noted that for all the progressiveness of feudal fragmentation, it had one significant drawback. Constantly subsiding, then flaring up with new strength strife between the princes depleted the strength of the Russian lands and weakened their defense capability in the face of external danger. The collapse of Rus' did not, however, lead to the collapse Old Russian people, a historically established linguistic, territorial, economic and cultural community...

In the 13th century, the center of political life in Rus' moved to the northeast, where the Vladimir-Suzdal principality came to the forefront. And here there was a struggle between individual princes. Meanwhile, such a disaster was approaching Rus', in the face of which close unity was especially necessary. In 1223 in southern steppes a new strong enemy appeared - the Tatar-Mongols. The battle with them on the Kalka River on June 16, 1223 ended in the defeat of the Russians.

In 1237, the Tatar-Mongols undertook new trip to Rus'. Many cities were devastated and burned - Ryazan, Moscow, Vladimir, Suzdal, Rostov and others. In 1240, Kyiv was captured by the Tatar-Mongols. The Tatar-Mongol yoke was established over the Russian land, lasting almost two and a half centuries. This yoke, says Marx, “... not only crushed, but insulted and withered the very soul of the people who became its victim.

The Tatar-Mongol yoke had an extremely unfavorable effect on the development of culture in Rus', greatly slowing down its growth. Western Europe owed its salvation to the Russian people, who, at the cost of heavy sacrifices, prevented the Tatar-Mongols from advancing further. “Russia had a high destiny,” wrote Pushkin, “its vast plains absorbed the power of the Mongols and stopped their invasion at the very edge of Europe; The barbarians did not dare to leave enslaved Rus' in their rear and returned to the steppes of their East. The resulting enlightenment was saved by a torn and dying Russia.”

The Tatar-Mongols were not the only enemies with whom the Russian people fought in defense of their homeland. In the north-west and the same XIII century it was necessary to fight with German knights and their allies - the Swedes, who attacked the lands of Novgorod and Pskov, where the Tatar-Mongol hordes did not penetrate.

The fight against enemies was carried out by the Russian people throughout the XIII-XIV centuries.

The largest event in this struggle was the Battle of Kulikovo (September 1380). The brilliant victory over the Tatars, won by Russian troops, led by the Moscow prince Dmitry Donskoy, was the first step towards the liberation of Rus' from the Tatar-Mongol yoke. The Russians became confident that the Tatars were not invincible, that it was possible complete liberation from the hated yoke. This victory showed that rallying the forces of the Russian people is the key to successful fight with enemies. The Battle of Kulikovo greatly increased the authority of the Moscow prince, the organizer of the victory. The all-Russian significance of Moscow became clear.

Effective preparation for the Unified State Exam (all subjects) -

The history of Russia in the 13th century was marked mainly by the struggle against external invasions: the southwestern Russian lands were invaded by Batu Khan, and the northeastern one faced danger coming from the Baltic states.

By the beginning of the 13th century it was providing strong influence to the Baltic states, yes Polotsk land and established close contacts with its inhabitants, which consisted mainly of collecting tribute from the local population. However, the Baltic lands also attracted German feudal lords, namely representatives of the German spiritual knightly orders. The invasion of the southeastern Baltic states by the German crusading knights (they were so called because they had a cross on their clothing) began after the Vatican declared crusade to these lands.

In 1200, the crusaders, led by the monk Albert, captured the mouth of the Western Dvina, and a year later they founded the Riga fortress, and Albert became the first Archbishop of Riga. The Order of the Sword Bearers was also subordinate to him (on the cloaks of these knights there was an image of a sword and a cross), which in Rus' was simply called the Order or Livonian Order.

The population of the Baltic states resisted the invaders, because Instilling Catholicism with the sword, the crusaders exterminated the local inhabitants. Rus', fearing the attack of the crusaders on its lands, helped the Baltic states, pursuing its own goals - to maintain influence on these lands. Local population supported the Russians, because tribute collected by Polotsk and Novgorod princes, was preferable to the dominance of the German knights.

Meanwhile, Sweden and Denmark were active in the eastern Baltic. On the site of modern Tallinn, the Danes founded the Revel fortress, and the Swedes wanted to establish themselves on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, on the island of Saarema.

In 1240, a Swedish detachment under the command of one of the king’s relatives appeared in the Gulf of Finland and, having passed along the Neva River, stood at the mouth of the Izhora River, where a temporary camp was set up. The appearance of the Swedes was unexpected for the Russians. At that time, the 19-year-old son of Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, great-grandson, Alexander, ruled. During 1239, he erected fortifications on the Sheloni River, south of Novgorod, fearing an attack from this side by the Lithuanian prince Mindaugas.

However, having received news of the Swedish attack, Alexander and one squad decided to go on a campaign. The Russians unexpectedly attacked the Swedish camp on July 15, 1240.

The Swedes were defeated and fled, losing the opportunity to establish themselves on the banks of the Neva and Lake Ladoga, and Alexander Yaroslavovich received the nickname “Nevsky”, with which he entered the.

However, the threat from the Livonian knights remained. In 1240, the Order captured (which became possible due to the treason of the mayor), Izborsk, and the Novgorod fortified settlement of Koporye. In Novgorod, the situation was complicated by the fact that after the Battle of the Neva, Alexander quarreled with the Novgorod boyars and went to Pereyaslavl to visit his father. But soon the Novgorod veche again invites him to the throne due to the strengthening of the German threat. The boyars' decision turned out to be correct; Alexander recaptured Koporye from the Order in 1241, and then. On April 5, 1242, a famous battle, which, due to the events that took place, was called the Battle of the Ice. Mother Nature came to the aid of the Russians. Livonian knights were clad in metal armor, while Russian warriors were protected by plank armor. As a result, the April ice simply collapsed under the weight of the armored Livonian horsemen.

After winning the Lake Peipsi The Order abandoned attempts to conquer Russian lands and plant in Rus' " true faith" went down in history as a defender of Orthodoxy. The Mongols, unlike the German knights, were religiously tolerant and did not interfere in religious life Russians. That's why Orthodox Church perceived the Western danger so keenly.

In 1247, Prince Yaroslav, son of Vsevolod, died Big Nest. The Grand Duke's throne was inherited by his brother Svyatoslav. However, the sons Yaroslava-Alexander Nevsky and Andrei are not satisfied with the state of affairs and come to the Horde to receive a label to reign. As a result, Alexander receives the Grand Duchy of Kiev and Novgorod, and Andrei receives the principality. Svyatoslav tried to defend his rights, but achieved nothing and died in 1252.

In the same year, Alexander, dissatisfied with this division of power, comes to the Horde to inform the khan that Andrei is withholding part of the tribute from him. As a result, Mongol punitive troops moved to Rus' and invaded Pereyaslavl-Zalessky and Galicia-Volyn land. Andrei fled to Sweden, and Alexander became the Grand Duke.

During his reign, Alexander sought to prevent anti-Mongol protests. In 1264 the prince dies.

The great reign was in the hands younger brothers Prince Yaroslav Tverskoy, and then Vasily Kostromsky. In 1277, Vasily dies, and the son of Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Pereyaslavsky, receives Principality of Vladimir. But after 4 years, his brother Andrei Gorodetsky receives a label from the khan to reign and drives Dmitry out of Vladimir. It begins between brothers fierce fight for reign.

In order to gain the upper hand over each other, the brothers turned to the help of the Mongols, as a result, during their reign (from 1277 to 1294), 14 cities were devastated (the Pereyaslavl principality-patrimony of Dmitry and many regions of North-Eastern Rus' suffered especially badly , outskirts of Novgorod.

In 1294, Dmitry Alexandrovich died. Eight years later, his son Ivan died childless. Pereyaslavl passed to the youngest of the sons of Alexander Nevsky - Daniil of Moscow.

Thus, the 13th century in the history of Russia is one of the bloodiest centuries. Rus' had to fight simultaneously with all enemies - with the Mongols, with the German knights, and besides, it was torn apart by the internal strife of the heirs. For 1275-1300 The Mongols made fifteen campaigns against Rus', as a result the Pereyaslavl and Gorodets principalities weakened, and the leading role passed to new centers - and.
