How did a small town on the Dnieper become the center of a power rivaling Constantinople? Why does the "Russkaya Pravda" (Russian Truth) still amaze with the clarity of its legal norms, and why did city councils (veche) influence the decisions of princes? What internal changes led to the disintegration of a once unified state? In "Kievan Rus," Boris Grekov combines chronicles, legal sources, folk epics, archaeological and linguistic data. He shows how a union of tribes grew into a powerful state with a developed economy, its own legal system, and a rich culture. The reader comes to life in the era of princes and warriors, a time of flourishing trade and crafts, the emergence of cities and the first state institutions. This is a fascinating and insightful study of a key period, essential for understanding the history of medieval Eastern Europe. This publication is recommended for historians, students, teachers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the origins and evolution of East Slavic civilization.
