The Rus′ Principalities
Mongol rule in Rus′ was profound, especially in the administration of taxes and tribute, which were adapted to the traditions of Rus′ian princely governance. The thirteenth century was a “dark age” when Rus′ was subjected to severe Mongol attacks and tribute was imposed under the supervision of basqaq s. The Rus′ian church, however, was exempted from paying tribute. Through the bestowal of a yarligh , the Mongols designated the rulers of Rus′ian …
The economics of Mongol rule in Rus', 1237–1350
One of the perplexing issues of Russian history has been to unravel and more fully understand the economic impact of the Mongol era on Rus’. Mongol rule traditionally encompasses the centuries from the invasions of 1237/8 to Rus’s so-called liberation following the stand-off at the Battle of the Ugra River in 1480. Assessing the Mongol impact in the scholarly literature runs the gamut from those, like George Vernadsky, who argue that the Mongols …
Rus’ and the Mongol Decimal System
This essay examines the problem of basqaq s and the Mongol decimal system in Appanage Rus’. It surveys the functions of the basqaq s or daruγa s and the importance of the divisions of ten thousand and thousands in the Mongol Empire. In Appanage Rus’ the decimal system was of less importance for the organization of the Rus’ian armies than it was for the administration of the tribute and the collection of other taxes, especially on the local rural …
War and the Economy in the Reign of Vasilii II
This article examines some of the economic dimensions of war in the reign of Vasilii II and argues that Rus’, much like England during the Wars of the Roses, suffered economic stagnation and perhaps even a depression. The combination of war, plague, and famine in Rus’ resulted in a decline in population and strained economic resources evidenced by abandoned agrarian lands, the burden of the Mongol tribute and princely debts, debased silver coinag…

The Posadnichestvo of Pskov
To the Memory of Arcadius Kahan, 1920-1982Ever since the publication of V. L. Ianin's study of the Novgorodian mayors (posadniki) in 1962, the commonplace image of republican Novgorod with its political institutions grounded in the sovereignty of the veche-the "democratic" assembly of the city's free male population-has undergone considerable change. It is now generally conceded that Novgorod was essentially a boyar oligarchy, but controversy sti…

V. L. Ianin and the History of Novgorod
An historian of early Russian history faces many methodological problems, not the least of which is the paucity of sources for the Kievan and Mongol periods. Because of the dearth of material, historians of the medieval Russian town, such as M. N. Tikhomirov and A. M. Sakharov, have generally presented a static conceptualization of urban society, thereby obscuring the dynamic processes and nuances of historical development. Despite the many studi…
