The following church buildings are all made of stone, which will undoubtedly reveal the grandeur of the church. Sophia Cathedral, built in 1037, is the most iconic building. It consists of 1 1 onion domes. The interior of the church is decorated with colored marble and terrazzo, and there are various sculptures and murals. It is extremely luxurious.
Churches scattered all over the country are richly decorated, showing local wealth and respect for Christianity. Tourists are all impressed, and some even compare the luxury of Kiev with Constantinople at this time. Because of the same belief, Kiev Ross has closer ties with Byzantium. The economic and cultural exchanges between the two countries are no longer just based on peace treaties, and people-to-people exchanges are also more frequent.
In this state, the feudal process of Ross was further accelerated and soon became one of the European powers. 10 15 years, Archduke Vladimir died of illness. After his death, his sons began to repeat the story that their parents killed their brother for power. At that time, all the princes were stationed in other places except Svyatopolk in Kiev.
In order to monopolize power, Svyatopolk decided to kill his brothers one by one, and then he was the only archduke heir. So he killed three brothers, gleb, Sviatoslav and Boris, and succeeded the Grand Duke in Kiev. Facing Svyatopolk's ruthlessness and cruelty, yaroslav of Novgorod was surprised and frightened. Instead of worrying about being the next ghost, it is better to start first.
Yaroslav led the army against Svyatopolk's atrocities and successfully occupied Kiev. Svyatopolk, who was driven out, left Poland and went to his father-in-law, then Polish King Boleswav. Seeing his son-in-law down and out, he has to help both in public and in private. So, with the help of his father-in-law, Svyatopolk led the army back to Kiev.
Yaroslav immediately confronted him, but he was defeated and had to return to Novgorod. Boleswar not only helped his son-in-law recapture the country, but also received gold, silver and jewels as a reward, and also reclaimed part of the land occupied by Vladimir, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. After the defeat, yaroslav re-planned with the help of his uncle. By marrying the king of Sweden, he not only won the support of Sweden, but also recruited the warrior Varyag as a soldier.
After everything was ready, yaroslav led the army to attack Kiev again. This time, Svyatopolk was not so lucky. After the failure, he turned to Pehneg to help, but failed to achieve the same effect as before, and suffered another fiasco. Svyatopok himself died on the way to escape.
1024, Mustislav, who was stationed on the Assyrian coast, returned to the territory of Ross and started another power struggle with yaroslav. However, the battle did not reach the point of life and death, but ended with the two brothers dividing the Dnieper River. 1034, after Mstislav's death, yaroslav regained power and Ross was reunited.
Like Vladimir, yaroslav was in power for 35 years and was called "the wise man". During his reign, Christianity spread more widely. Yaroslav is a devout believer. He not only reads the Bible every day, but also goes to church from time to time. During Novgorod's reign, Sophia Cathedral comparable to Kiev was built.
At the same time, yaroslav attached great importance to the introduction of Greek culture, sent people to sort out and translate Greek classics, and collected them in Sofia Cathedral in Kiev, which promoted the prosperity and development of Roswinism. In terms of social governance, yaroslav ordered people to amend the Code of yaroslav, which is called the oldest code in Ross.
Yaroslav is really a clever man. In order to prevent history from repeating itself, yaroslav established the eldest son inheritance system. Yaroslav, who has personally experienced internecine strife, deeply understands how serious this internal dispute is to the state system. Therefore, he made a legacy, that is, the eldest son should take care of his younger brothers as a father after taking over the position of stepfather, and at the same time ask other children to treat their eldest brother as a father.
This was originally a good way to avoid brothers fighting for power and profit, but unfortunately it backfired, and his sons finally failed to avoid killing each other. After yaroslav died, his sons really lived in peace for several years. Izyaslav, the eldest son, inherited the Grand Duchy and lived in Kiev. Other brothers can also work in other cities according to arrangements.
Sviatovslav is in charge of Chernigov, Vsevolod is the maharaja of Pereyaslav, Igor is in Vladimir, and the maharaja of Smolensk is Viya Cheslav. However, the scene of harmony between brothers, friends and brothers failed to last. 1073, yaroslav's second son, Sviatoslav, rebelled with his third brother, Voshervolod, and they led the army all the way to Kiev.
Izyaslav was forced into exile in Poland, and Svyatoslav succeeded the Grand Duke. After his death, his younger brother Vsevolod succeeded him. Four years later, Izyaslav led the Polish army to counterattack, and Voshervolod was forced to retreat to chernigov. Perhaps to keep his promise to my late father, Izyaslav didn't kill Vsevolod.
However, life in Vsevolod is not easy. Because Oleg, the son of his second brother, Vijatov Slavic, made an alliance with Boris, the son of Victoria Cheslav, and attacked him at the same time. Vsevolod lost to his two nephews and had to go to Kiev to seek the protection of his eldest brother in order to save his life. As a result, Izyaslav and Vsevolod teamed up against Oleg and Boris.
The biggest winner of this battle is Vsevolod, because Izyaslav and Boris died in this battle, while Oleg was defeated and fled. After the civil war, Vsevolod inherited the Grand Duchy. Vsevolod died in 1093. He was the last son of yaroslav. Then the power struggle shifted to the next generation.
Vsevolod was succeeded by Izyaslav's son Svyatobork. During this period, the Baltic people in the south brought great trouble to the town of Ross. 1097, Svyatobork and several cousins got together in Lubeck to discuss countermeasures. After discussion, they think that this endless battle for the Grand Duchy will only cause internal damage to Ross, but it will be cheaper for outsiders.
Therefore, they decided to end the struggle by adopting the practice that their children and grandchildren inherit their respective territories. They swore that those who tried to fief others would be punished. The meeting broke the principle that their grandfather yaroslav's eldest son inherited the Grand Duke. With the establishment of hereditary power of local governors, the power around Ross began to disperse.
The archduke of Kiev's control over various places is getting weaker and weaker. By the 12 century, the Russian state was divided into many independent small principalities, and the decline was gradually obvious. Mongolian rule has brought endless disasters to the Russian people. High taxes are called the shackles of the Tatars and become a nightmare for the Russian people. The archduke and nobles of some principalities took the opportunity to flatter Mongolian Khan and wait for an opportunity to expand their sphere of influence.
Moscow, a little-known town, rose unexpectedly under the continuous planning of several archduke. /kloc-In the 3rd century, Mongolia rose rapidly and established a super empire across Eurasia. Today, many principalities in Russia have been conquered by Mongolian Khan and have been crawling under Mongolian iron hooves ever since.
Mongolia ruled the Russians by proxy, and chose the Grand Duke of a certain principality as the highest agent of the whole Russian territory in the form of conferring the Grand Duke, helping the Mongols rule the Russians, collecting taxes and suppressing the people's resistance. Mongolia's rule has brought endless disasters to the Russian people. High taxes are called "the shackles of the Tatars" and have become a nightmare for the Russian people.
The archduke and nobles of some principalities took the opportunity to flatter Mongolian Khan and wait for an opportunity to expand their sphere of influence. Moscow, a little-known town, rose unexpectedly under the continuous planning of several archduke. With the help of Mongolia's influence, the Grand Duke of Moscow became the Grand Duke of Russia and gradually completed the unification of Russia. After the principality was full-fledged, it immediately led Georas to launch a struggle to expel the Mongolian invaders, thus winning the respect and recognition of the Russian people, and a brand-new unified Russian country was born.
