Feudal fragmentation of Rus' presentation. Presentation on the topic "feudal fragmentation in Rus'." Engaged in foreign policy

Slide 1

The beginning of the fragmentation of Rus'

Slide 2

Slide 3

The 12th century became a turning point between Kievan Rus, in which culture flourished, tools of labor were improved, the custom of blood feud died out, and Appanage Rus, which split into dozens and hundreds of principalities and lands

Slide 4

Slide 5

The grandson of Yaroslav the Wise, Vladimir Monomakh, invited to the Kiev throne, made incredible efforts to keep Rus' from collapse. He called on his relatives for peace and harmony, was the initiator of congresses of princes: 1097 - congress in Lyubech: “let each one maintain his fatherland”, 1103 - congress in the city of Dolobsk (union of efforts of princes in the fight against the Polovtsians). Under his rule, up to three-quarters of the Russian lands were reunited, he stopped the princely strife, and secured Rus' from the raids of nomads. Under him, the “Charter of Monomakh” was created

Slide 6

Maintaining grand-ducal power was not easy, since: ▪ representatives of the grand-ducal family fought among themselves for the throne in Kyiv (power was passed not from father to son, but from older brother to younger); ▪ weak economic ties between the lands, due to the dominance of subsistence farming, weakened the dependence of the appanage prince or boyar on the Grand Duke; ▪ patrimonial boyars settled on their lands, became rich, and stopped bowing to the prince of Kyiv; ▪ the princes fought not to seize power throughout the country, but to expand the borders of their principality; ▪ the path “from the Varangians to the Greeks” lost its meaning; ▪ the threat from the Cumans remained.

Slide 7

Mstislav the Great
In 1132, the last powerful Grand Duke of Kiev, Mstislav, the son of Vladimir Monomakh, died. That year, one of the chroniclers wrote: “... the whole Russian land was torn apart,” that is, it fell apart. A period of fragmentation began. It was in the 30-40s. XII century Kyiv irrevocably lost control over the Rostov-Suzdal land, where Yuri Dolgoruky ruled, over Novgorod and Smolensk, whose boyars themselves began to select princes for themselves. In the Galicia-Volyn principality in the middle of the 12th century. The boyars began a struggle for power. The Vladimir-Suzdal Principality becomes a new strong enemy.

Slide 8

The son of Vladimir Monomakh, Yuri, inherited the lands of North-Eastern Rus' after the death of his father. He strove for the expansion and prosperity of his region. Suzdal became the capital of North-Eastern Rus' under Yuri. This city especially grew during his reign. Yuri was the first independent prince of the Rostov-Suzdal land after the collapse of Rus' in 1132.

Slide 9

Yury Dolgoruky"
Yuri went down in history under the nickname “Dolgoruky”, as he actively interfered in the affairs of his neighbors. He entered into single combat with the Volga Bulgars, and with the Novgorodians, and with the princes of the southern Russian lands, trying to seize the Kiev throne. It is with Yuri’s struggle for “seniority” that the first chronicle mention of Moscow is associated (1147)

Slide 10

After a long struggle, Yuri took possession of Kiev in 1155 and sat on the grand-ducal throne. His sons received Vyshgorod (Andrey), Turov (Boris), Pereyaslavl Russky (Gleb) as an inheritance. Andrei was not attracted to these lands, and in the same year he secretly left Vyshgorod from his father and moved to Vladimir. Leaving Vyshgorod, Andrei stole the miraculous icon of the Mother of God from the convent, which later became known in Rus' as the Mother of God of Vladimir.

Slide 11

Andrey Bogolyubsky
Having become the prince of the Rostov-Suzdal land, bypassing his younger brothers, Andrei did not give them inheritance, and they left the principality. Under Andrei, great importance was attached to the construction of churches and strengthening the connection between secular and spiritual authorities. Andrei Bogolyubsky, strengthening his autocracy, fought against Kiev and Novgorod. Kyiv was taken in 1169 and devastated by the troops of Andrew and the Polovtsian hordes.

Slide 12

Having seized the Kiev grand princely throne, Andrei remained to reign in Vladimir, and entrusted the reign of Kiev to his brother Gleb. But he could not hold him back: the people of Kiev poisoned Prince Gleb, who had been imprisoned by Andrei.
Andrei Bogolyubsky pursued a tough policy towards the boyars in his principality. Attacking their rights and privileges, he brutally dealt with the rebellious, expelled them from the principality, and deprived them of their estates. A conspiracy arose against the prince, in which his Ossetian servants Anbal and housekeeper Efrem Mozevich were involved. On June 29, 1174, the conspirators broke into the prince's house and hacked the prince to death. After Andrei's death, strife began. Residents of Vladimir proposed the sons of Yuri, Mikhail and Vsevolod, to the throne.

Slide 13

Vsevolod "Big Nest"
From 1176 to 1212, the youngest son of Yuri Dolgoruky, Vsevolod, was the prince of Vladimir, nicknamed the Big Nest, as he had 8 sons and 8 grandchildren, not counting daughters. Under him, the Vladimir-Suzdal principality reached its greatest prosperity. He was the first among the princes of the North-East to accept the title of Grand Duke. Vsevolod severely punished the rebellious boyars. Ryazan was captured under him. He interfered in the affairs of Novgorod and was feared in Kyiv. After the death of Vsevolod, his sons divided the principality into parts and waged strife.

Slide 14

Fragmentation has led to certain consequences
Positive: Rise of cities, development of crafts and trade; Formation of the apparatus of power, taking into account geographical features; The formation of traditions in culture, literature, architecture, social thought, oral folk art, and fine arts
Negative: Strife among princes; Fragmentation of the lands of the principalities; Weakening the defense capability of Russian lands; The collapse of ties between Russian lands, the decline in international prestige; The struggle of the princes with the boyars within the principalities

  • To help students understand the connection between the growth of large landownership and the assumption of state power by princes, as well as between subsistence farming and the independence of principalities.
  • Develop students’ skills and abilities: draw conclusions, see cause/effect relationships, find errors, develop teamwork skills
  • To foster mutual understanding, interaction, individual responsibility and equal participation in students

Chronology of the period
The beginning of fragmentation - the 30s of the 12th century (1132) - the end of the 14th century.

FEATURES OF THE FARM
Vladimir-Suzdal Principality
Fishing, cattle breeding, forestry, and agriculture are developed. They grew: wheat, barley, rye, oats, millet. Trade was especially developed

FEATURES OF GOVERNANCE OF THE Vladimir-Suzdal Principality
Power was concentrated in the hands of the ruling princes. They managed to rise above the boyars and above the veche. The princes strove for autocracy.

The first Vladimir-Suzdal princes
Yury Dolgoruky(son of Vladimir Monomakh)

  • Built new cities (considered the founder of Moscow - 1147)
  • Moved the capital of the principality to Vladimir
  • Sought to subordinate the boyars to princely power
  • Killed as a result of a boyar conspiracy
  • Assigned the title of Grand Duke of Vladimir to himself

Natural conditions of the Novgorod Republic
FEATURES OF THE FARM
Novgorod land

According to the form of government, Novgorod land is Republic(this is a state governed by people elected by the people)

Reasons for fragmentation(economic and political)^

  • The development of the economy led to the emergence of large landowners. They lived off their household and could support their prince.
  • New cities developed as political, cultural and economic centers.
  • His prince was more concerned about the development of these lands than the distant Kiev prince.
  • The power of the Kyiv prince weakened.
  • The decline of the trade route “from the Varangians to the Greeks” due to the raids of the Cumans and the movement of trade routes between Europe and Byzantium to the Mediterranean Sea.
  • Natural nature of the economy. Internecine wars.
  • Each state has its own government (veche, people's militia)
  • The urban population sought to have not a Kyiv governor, but their own prince, who would defend their interests.

  • There is an economic and cultural boom

Negative features of feudal fragmentation

  • Defense capabilities were weakened
  • Strife and strife continued
  • The principalities were divided between the heirs
  • There are conflicts between the princes and the local boyars

Task
In the middle of the 12th century there were 15 large principalities in Rus'. At the beginning of the 13th century there were 50 principalities. In the 14th century there were 250 principalities.
What disadvantage of feudal fragmentation manifested itself in this process?
Is feudal fragmentation compatible with cultural upsurge?

Lesson conclusion
The transition to fragmentation is the heyday of medieval society, its economy, political forms and culture, clearly manifested in the variety of types of this development. State unity was not completely lost.
The Russian principalities were connected by a complex system of vassal relations
The Grand Duke of Kyiv was recognized as the head of this system.

Error text
As the economy declined, yesterday's princely smerds increasingly began to remain in their possessions and engage in economic affairs there. With close economic ties and the dominance of a market economy, governing a large country has become difficult. Large cities, going bankrupt, sought to isolate themselves from the power of the Grand Duke. This strengthened Rus' militarily, but a smaller principality is more difficult to govern, maintain order there, etc.
