1505 who ruled. Old Russian princes

Many people believe that there is no need to know the history of their state. However, any historian is ready to thoroughly argue with this. After all, knowing the history of the rulers of Russia is very important not only for general development, but also in order not to make the mistakes of the past.

In this article, we propose to familiarize yourself with the table of all the rulers of our country from the date of its founding in chronological order. The article will help you find out who ruled our country and when, as well as what outstanding things he did for it.

Before the appearance of Rus', a large number of different tribes lived on its future territory for many centuries, however, the history of our state started in the 10th century with the call to the throne of the Russian state of Rurik. He laid the foundation for the Rurik dynasty.

List of classification of rulers of Russia

It's no secret that history is a whole science, which is studied by a huge number of people called historians. For convenience, the entire history of the development of our country has been divided into the following stages:

Novgorod princes (from 863 to 882).
Great Kyiv princes (from 882 to 1263).
Principality of Moscow (from 1283 to 1547).
Kings and Emperors (from 1547 to 1917).
USSR (from 1917 to 1991).
Presidents (from 1991 to the present day).

As can be understood from this list, the center of the political life of our state, in other words, the capital, changed several times depending on the era and events taking place in the country. Until 1547, the princes of the Rurik dynasty were at the head of Rus'. However, after this, the process of monarchization of the country began, which lasted until 1917, when the Bolsheviks came to power. Then came the collapse of the USSR, the emergence of independent countries on the territory of former Rus' and, of course, the emergence of democracy.

So, to thoroughly study this issue, to find out details about all the rulers of the state in chronological order, we suggest studying the information in the following chapters of the article.

Heads of state from 862 until the period of fragmentation

This period includes the Novgorod and Great Kyiv princes. The main source of information that has survived to this day and helps all historians compile lists and tables of all rulers is “The Tale of Bygone Years”. Thanks to this document, they were able to accurately, or as close to accurate as possible, establish all the dates of the reign of the Russian princes of that time.

So, list of Novgorod and Kyiv princes looks like this:

It is obvious that for any ruler, from Rurik to Putin, the main goal was to strengthen and modernize his state in the international arena. Of course, they all pursued the same goal, however, each of them preferred to go towards the goal in their own way.

Fragmentation of Kievan Rus

After the reign of Yaropolk Vladimirovich, the process of severe decline of Kyiv and the state as a whole began. This period is called the times of fragmentation of Rus'. During this time, all the people who stood at the head of the state did not leave any significant mark on history, but only brought the state into its worst form.

Thus, before 1169, the following personalities managed to sit on the throne of the ruler: Izyavlav the Third, Izyaslav Chernigovsky, Vyacheslav Rurikovich, as well as Rostislav Smolensky.

Vladimir princes

After the fragmentation of the capital of our state was moved to a city called Vladimir. This happened for the following reasons:

The Principality of Kiev suffered a total decline and weakening.
Several political centers arose in the country, which tried to take over the government.
The influence of the feudal lords grew every day.

The two most influential centers of influence on the politics of Rus' were Vladimir and Galich. Although the Vladimir era was not as long as the others, it left a serious mark on the history of the development of the Russian state. Therefore it is necessary to make a list the following Vladimir princes:

Prince Andrey - reigned for 15 years from 1169.
Vsevolod was in power for 36 long years, starting in 1176.
Georgy Vsevolodovich - stood at the head of Rus' from 1218 to 1238.
Yaroslav was also the son of Vsevolod Andreevich. Ruled from 1238 to 1246.
Alexander Nevsky, who was on the throne for 11 long and productive years, came to power in 1252 and died in 1263. It is no secret that Nevsky was a great commander who made a huge contribution to the development of our state.
Yaroslav the third - from 1263 to 1272.
Dmitry the first – 1276 – 1283.
Dmitry the second – 1284 – 1293.
Andrei Gorodetsky is a Grand Duke who reigned from 1293 to 1303.
Mikhail Tverskoy, also called “The Saint”. Came to power in 1305 and died in 1317.

As you may have noticed, rulers for some time were not included in this list. The fact is that they did not leave any significant mark in the history of the development of Rus'. For this reason, they are not studied in school courses.

When the fragmentation of the country ended, the political center of the country was transferred to Moscow. Moscow princes:

Over the next 10 years, Rus' again experienced decline. During these years, the Rurik dynasty was cut short, and various boyar families were in power.

The beginning of the Romanovs, the rise of the tsars to power, the monarchy

List of rulers of Russia from 1548 to the end of the 17th century it looks like this:

Ivan Vasilyevich the Terrible is one of the most famous and useful rulers of Russia for history. He ruled from 1548 to 1574, after which his reign was interrupted for 2 years.
Semyon Kasimovsky (1574 – 1576).
Ivan the Terrible returned to power and ruled until 1584.
Tsar Feodor (1584 – 1598).

After Fedor's death, it turned out that he had no heirs. From that moment on, the state began to experience further problems. They lasted until 1612. The Rurik dynasty was over. It was replaced by a new one: the Romanov dynasty. They began their reign in 1613.

Mikhail Romanov is the first representative of the Romanovs. Ruled from 1613 to 1645.
After the death of Mikhail, his heir Alexei Mikhailovich sat on the throne. (1645 – 1676)
Fyodor Alekseevich (1676 – 1682).
Sophia, Fedor's sister. When Fedor died, his heirs were not yet ready to come to power. Therefore, the emperor's sister ascended the throne. She ruled from 1682 to 1689.

It is impossible to deny that with the advent of the Romanov dynasty, stability finally came to Russia. They were able to do what the Rurikovichs had been striving for for so long. Namely: useful reforms, strengthening of power, territorial growth and banal strengthening. Finally, Russia entered the world stage as one of the favorites.

Peter I

Historians say, that for all the improvements of our state we owe it to Peter I. He is rightfully considered the great Russian Tsar and Emperor.

Peter the Great launched the process of flourishing of the Russian state, the fleet and army strengthened. He pursued an aggressive foreign policy, which greatly strengthened Russia’s position in the global race for supremacy. Of course, before him, many rulers realized that the armed forces are the key to the success of the state, however, only he managed to achieve such success in this area.

After Great Peter, list of rulers Russian Empire as follows:

The monarchy in the Russian Empire lasted quite a long time for a long time and left a huge mark on its history. The Romanov dynasty is one of the most legendary in the whole world. However, like everything else, it was destined to end after the October Revolution, which changed the structure of the state to a republic. There were no more kings in power.

USSR times

After the execution of Nicholas II and his family, Vladimir Lenin came to power. At this moment, the state of the USSR(Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) was legally formalized. Lenin led the country until 1924.

List of rulers of the USSR:

During Gorbachev's time, the country again experienced colossal changes. The collapse of the USSR occurred, as well as the emergence of independent states on the territory of the former USSR. Boris Yeltsin, President, came to power by force independent Russia. He ruled from 1991 to 1999.

In 1999, Boris Yeltsin voluntarily left the post of President of Russia, leaving behind a successor, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. A year after that, Putin was officially elected by the people and was at the head of Russia until 2008.

In 2008, another election was held, which was won by Dmitry Medvedev, who ruled until 2012. In 2012, Vladimir Putin was again elected president of the Russian Federation and holds the post of president today.

Dates of the 9th-10th centuries, in accordance with tradition, are given according to PVL, except in cases where there is a generally accepted clarification from independent sources. For the Kyiv princes, exact dates within the year (time of year or month and day) are indicated if they are named in the sources or when there is reason to believe that the departure of the previous prince and the arrival of the new one took place simultaneously. As a rule, the chronicles recorded the dates when the prince sat on the throne, left it posthumously, or was defeated in an open battle with rivals (after which he never returned to Kyiv). In other cases, the date of the removal from the table was usually not stated and therefore cannot be accurately determined. Sometimes the opposite situation occurs, in which it is known on what day the table was abandoned by the former prince, but it is not said when the successor prince took it. The dates for the Vladimir princes are indicated in a similar way. For the Horde era, when the right to the Grand Duchy of Vladimir was transferred according to the khan's label, the beginning of the reign is indicated by the date when the prince sat down on the table in Vladimir itself, and the end - when he actually lost control over the city. For the Moscow princes, the beginning of the reign is indicated from the date of death of the previous prince, and for the period of the Moscow strife, according to the actual possession of Moscow. For Russian tsars and emperors, the beginning of the reign is usually indicated from the date of death of the previous monarch. For presidents of the Russian Federation - from the date of taking office.

M., 2004. pp. 275, 277. The opinion often found in the literature about the transfer of the nominal capital of Rus' from Kyiv to Vladimir in 1169 is a widespread inaccuracy. Cm. Tolochko A.P.

The rise of Vladimir as an alternative all-Russian center to Kiev began in the middle of the 12th century (with the reign of Andrei Yuryevich Bogolyubsky), but became final only after the Mongol invasion, when the Grand Dukes of Vladimir Yaroslav Vsevolodovich () and Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky () were recognized in the Horde as the oldest among all Russian princes. They received Kyiv, but preferred to leave Vladimir as their residence. From the beginning In the 14th century, the Grand Dukes of Vladimir bore the title "All Rus'". With the sanction of the Horde, the Vladimir table was received by one of the appanage princes of North-Eastern Rus'; from 1363 it was occupied only by Moscow princes; from 1389 it became their hereditary possession. The territory of the united Vladimir and Moscow principalities became the core of the modern Russian state.
He began to reign in 6370 (862) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 19-20). He died in 6387 (879) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 22). According to the Laurentian list of PVL and the Novgorod Chronicle I, he settled in Novgorod, according to the Ipatiev list - in Ladoga, founded Novgorod in 864 and moved there (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 20, vol. III<НIЛ. М.;Л., 1950.>- P. 106, PSRL, vol. II, stb. 14). As archaeological research shows, Novgorod did not yet exist in the 9th century; mentions of it in chronicles refer to Settlement.
He began to reign in 6387 (879) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 22). In the PVL and the Russian-Byzantine Treaty of 911 - a prince, fellow tribesman or relative of Rurik, who ruled during Igor’s childhood (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 18, 22, 33, PSRL, vol. II, stb. 1). In the Novgorod I Chronicle he appears as a governor under Igor (PSRL, vol. III, p. 107).
He began to reign in 6390 (882) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 23), most likely in the summer, since he was supposed to set off on a campaign from Novgorod in the spring. He died in the fall of 6420 (912) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 38-39). According to the Novgorod I Chronicle, he died in 6430 (922) (PSRL, vol. III, p. 109).
The beginning of the reign is marked in the chronicle with the year 6421 (913) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 42). Either this is simply a feature of the design of the chronicle, or it took him a while to land in Kyiv. When describing the death and funeral of Oleg, Igor is not mentioned. According to the chronicle, he was killed by the Drevlyans in the fall of 6453 (945) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 54-55). The story of Igor's death is placed immediately after the Russian-Byzantine treaty, which was concluded in 944, so some researchers prefer this year. The month of death may have been november, since according to Constantine Porphyrogenitus, Polyudye began in November. ( Litavrin G. G. Ancient Rus', Bulgaria and Byzantium in the 9th-10th centuries. // IX International Congress of Slavists. History, culture, ethnography and folklore of the Slavic peoples. M., 1983. - P. 68.).
Ruled Russia during Svyatoslav's minority. In the chronicle (in the list of Kiev princes in article 6360 of the PVL and in the list of Kyiv princes at the beginning of the Ipatiev Chronicle) she is not called a ruler (PSRL, vol. II, art. 1, 13, 46), but appears as such in synchronous Byzantine and Western European sources. Ruled at least until 959, when her embassy to the German king Otto I is mentioned (chronicle of the Continuator Reginon). At Olga's request, the German bishop Adalbert was sent to Rus', but when he arrived in 961, he was unable to take up his duties and was expelled. Obviously, this indicates the transfer of power to Svyatoslav, who was a zealous pagan. (Ancient Rus' in the light of medieval sources. T.4. M., 2010. - P.46-47).
The beginning of his reign in the chronicle is marked with the year 6454 (946), and the first independent event is marked with the year 6472 (964) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 57, 64). Probably, independent rule began earlier - between 959 and 961. See previous note. Killed in the early spring of 6480 (972) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 74).
Planted in Kyiv by his father, who went on a campaign against Byzantium in 6478 (970) (according to the chronicle, PSRL, vol. I, stb. 69) or in the fall of 969 (according to Byzantine sources). After his father's death he continued to reign in Kyiv. Expelled from Kyiv and killed, the chronicle dates this to the year 6488 (980) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 78). According to “Memory and Praise to the Russian Prince Vladimir” by Jacob Mnich, Vladimir entered Kyiv June 11 6486 (978 ) of the year.
According to the list of reigns in article 6360 (852) of the PVL, he reigned for 37 years, which indicates the year 978. (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 18). According to all chronicles, he entered Kiev in 6488 (980) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 77, vol. III, p. 125), according to the “Memory and Praise of the Russian Prince Vladimir” by Jacob Mnich - June 11 6486 (978 ) year (Literature Library Ancient Rus'. T.1. - P.326. Milyutenko N. I. Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir and the Baptism of Rus'. M., 2008. - P.57-58). The dating of 978 was especially actively defended by A. A. Shakhmatov. Died July 15 6523 (1015) years (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 130).
At the time of his father’s death he was in Kyiv (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 130, 132). Defeated by Yaroslav in the late autumn of 6524 (1016) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 141-142).
He began to reign in the late autumn of 6524 (1016) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 142). Destroyed in the Battle of the Bug July 22(Thietmar of Merseburg. Chronicle VIII 31) and fled to Novgorod in 6526 (1018) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 143).
Sat on the throne in Kyiv August 14 6526 (1018) years (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 143-144, Thietmar of Merseburg. Chronicle VIII 32). According to the chronicle, he was expelled by Yaroslav in the same year (apparently in the winter of 1018/19), but usually his expulsion is dated to 1019 (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 144).
Settled in Kyiv in 6527 (1019) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 146). He died in 6562, according to the Laurentian Chronicle on the first Saturday of Lent on the day of St. Theodore (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 162), i.e. February 19, in the Ipatiev Chronicle, the exact date was added to the indication of Saturday - February 20. (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 150). The chronicle uses the March style and 6562 corresponds to 1055, but from the date of the post it follows that the correct year is 1054 (in 1055 the post began later, the author of the PVL used the March style of chronology, erroneously increasing the reign of Yaroslav by one year. See. Milyutenko N. I. Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir and the Baptism of Rus'. M., 2008. - P.57-58). The year 6562 and the date Sunday 20 February are indicated in graffiti from Hagia Sophia. Based on the relationship between the date and the day of the week, the most probable date is determined - Sunday 20 February 1054.
He arrived in Kyiv after the death of his father and sat on the throne according to his father’s will (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 162). This probably happened quite quickly, especially if he was in Turov, and not Novgorod (Yaroslav’s body was transported from Vyshgorod to Kiev; according to the chronicle, Vsevolod, who was with his father at the time of death, was in charge of organizing the funeral, according to Nestor’s “Reading about Boris and Gleb” - Izyaslav buried his father in Kyiv). The beginning of his reign is marked in the chronicle as the year 6563, but this is probably a mistake of the chronicler, who attributed Yaroslav's death to the end of March 6562. Expelled from Kyiv September 15th 6576 (1068) years (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 171).
Sat on the throne September 15th 6576 (1068), reigned 7 months, that is, until April 1069 (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 172-173).

Sat on the throne April 24 6601 (1093) years (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 218). Died April 16 1113 years. The ratio of March and ultra-March years is indicated in accordance with the research of N. G. Berezhkov, in the Laurentian and Trinity Chronicles 6622 ultra-March year (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 290; Trinity Chronicle. St. Petersburg, 2002. - P. 206), according to Ipatievskaya chronicle 6621 March year (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 275).

He took the throne the day after his brother's death. (HIL., 1950. - P. 27, PSRL, vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 227) (possibly August 1 due to a discrepancy in the date of Vsevolod’s death by 1 day, see previous note). August 13 1146 was defeated in battle and fled (PSRL, vol.

Sat down in Kyiv 12th of April 1159 (Ultramart 6668 (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 504, date in the Ipatiev Chronicle), in the spring of March 6667 (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 348). Left besieged Kiev on February 8 Ultramart 6669 (1161) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 515).
Sat on the throne 12th of February 1161 (Ultra-March 6669) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 516) In the Sofia First Chronicle - in the winter of March 6668 (PSRL, vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 232). Killed in action March, 6 1161 (Ultra-March 6670) year (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 518).
He ascended the throne again after the death of Izyaslav. Died March 14th 1167 (according to the Ipatiev and Resurrection Chronicles, died on March 14, 6676 of the Ultra March year, buried on March 21, according to the Laurentian and Nikon Chronicles, died on March 21, 6675) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 353, vol. II, stb. 532 , vol. VII, p. 80, vol. IX, p. 233).
By right of seniority, he was the main contender for the throne after the death of his brother Rostislav. According to the Laurentian Chronicle, he was expelled from Kyiv by Mstislav Izyaslavich in 6676 (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 353-354). In the Sofia First Chronicle, the same message is placed twice: under the years 6674 and 6676 (PSRL, vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 234, 236). This story is also presented by Jan Dlugosz ( Shaveleva N. I. Ancient Rus' in " Polish history» Jana Dlugosh. M., 2004. - P.326). The Ipatiev Chronicle does not mention his reign at all; instead, it says that Mstislav Izyaslavich, before his arrival, ordered Vasilko Yaropolchich to sit in Kiev (according to the literal meaning of the message, Vasilko was already in Kiev, but the chronicle does not directly speak of his entry into the city) , and the day before Mstislav arrived, Yaropolk Izyaslavich entered Kiev (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 532-533). Based on this message, some sources include Vasilko and Yaropolk among the Kyiv princes.
According to the Ipatiev Chronicle, he sat on the throne May 19 6677 (that is, in this case 1167) years. In the chronicle the day is called Monday, but according to the calendar it is Friday, and therefore the date is sometimes corrected to May 15 ( Berezhkov N. G. Chronology of Russian chronicles. M., 1963. - P. 179). However, the confusion can be explained by the fact that, as the chronicle notes, Mstislav left Kyiv for several days (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 534-535, for the date and day of the week, see Pyatnov A. P. Kyiv and Kievan land in 1167-1169 // Ancient Rus. Questions of medieval studies/No. 1 (11). March, 2003. - C. 17-18). The combined army moved to Kiev, according to the Laurentian Chronicle, in the winter of 6676 (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 354), along the Ipatiev and Nikon chronicles, in the winter of 6678 (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 543, vol. IX, p. 237 ), according to the First Sophia, in the winter of 6674 (PSRL, vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 234), which corresponds to the winter of 1168/69. Kyiv was taken March 12, 1169, on Wednesday (according to the Ipatiev Chronicle, March 8, 6679, according to the Voskresenskaya Chronicle, 6678, but the day of the week and the indication for the second week of fasting correspond precisely to March 12, 1169 (see. Berezhkov N. G. Chronology of Russian chronicles. M., 1963. - P. 336.) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 545, vol. VII, p. 84).
He sat on the throne on March 12, 1169 (according to the Ipatiev Chronicle, 6679 (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 545), according to the Laurentian Chronicle, in 6677 (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 355).
He sat on the throne in 1170 (according to the Ipatiev Chronicle in 6680), in February (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 548). He left Kyiv that same year on Monday, the second week after Easter (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 549).
He sat down again in Kyiv after the expulsion of Mstislav. He died, according to the Laurentian Chronicle, in the Ultra-March year 6680 (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 363). Died January 20th 1171 (according to the Ipatiev Chronicle this is 6681, and the designation of this year in the Ipatiev Chronicle exceeds the March count by three units) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 564).
Sat on the throne February, 15 1171 (in the Ipatiev Chronicle it is 6681) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 566). Died on Monday of Mermaid Week May 10 1171 (according to the Ipatiev Chronicle this is 6682, but the correct date is determined by the day of the week) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 567).
His reign in Kyiv is reported in the First Novgorod Chronicle under the year 6680 (PSRL, vol. III, p. 34). After a short time, without support from Andrei Bogolyubsky, he gave up the table to Roman Rostislavich ( Pyatnov A.V. Mikhalko Yurievich // BRE. T.20. - M., 2012. - P.500).
Andrei Bogolyubsky ordered him to sit on the throne in Kyiv in the winter of Ultramart 6680 (according to the Ipatiev Chronicle - in the winter of 6681) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 364, vol. II, stb. 566). He sat on the throne in the “month of July that came” in 1171 (in the Ipatiev Chronicle this is 6682, according to the Novgorod First Chronicle - 6679) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 568, vol. III, p. 34) Later, Andrei ordered Roman left Kiev, and he went to Smolensk (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 570).
Mikhalko Yurievich, whom Andrei Bogolyubsky ordered to take the Kiev table after Roman, sent his brother to Kyiv in his place. Sat on the throne 5 weeks(PSRL, vol. II, stb. 570). In the Ultra-March year 6682 (both in the Ipatiev and Laurentian Chronicles). Together with his nephew Yaropolk, he was captured by David and Rurik Rostislavich for the praise of the Holy Mother of God - March 24(PSRL, vol. I, stb. 365, vol. II, stb. 570).
Was in Kyiv with Vsevolod (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 570)
He sat on the throne after the capture of Vsevolod in 1173 (6682 Ultra-March year) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 571). When Andrei sent an army to the south in the same year, Rurik left Kyiv in early September (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 575).
In November 1173 (Ultra-March 6682) he sat on the throne by agreement with the Rostislavichs (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 578). Reigned in the Ultra-March year 6683 (according to the Laurentian Chronicle), defeated by Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 366). According to the Ipatiev Chronicle, in the winter of 6682 (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 578). In the Resurrection Chronicle, his reign is mentioned again under the year 6689 (PSRL, vol. VII, pp. 96, 234).
Sat in Kyiv 12 days in January 1174 or at the end of December 1173 and returned to Chernigov (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 366, vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 240) (In the Resurrection Chronicle under 6680 (PSRL, vol. VII, p. .234)
He sat down again in Kyiv, having concluded an agreement with Svyatoslav, in the winter of the Ultra-Martian year 6682 (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 579). Kyiv lost to Roman in 1174 (Ultra-March 6683) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 600).
Settled in Kyiv in 1174 (Ultra-March 6683) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 600, vol. III, p. 34). In 1176 (Ultra-March 6685) he left Kyiv (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 604).
Entered Kyiv in 1176 (Ultra-Martov 6685), on Ilyin’s day ( July 20) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 604). In July, he left Kyiv due to the approach of the troops of Roman Rostislavich and his brothers, but as a result of negotiations, the Rostislavichs agreed to cede Kyiv to him. Returned to Kyiv in September (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 604-605). In 6688 (1180) he left Kyiv (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 616).
He sat on the throne in 6688 (1180) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 616). But a year later he left the city (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 621). In the same year, he made peace with Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich, according to which he recognized his seniority and ceded Kyiv to him, and in return received the rest of the territory of the Kyiv principality (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 626).
He sat on the throne in 6688 (1181) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 621). Died in 1194 (in the Ipatiev Chronicle in March 6702, according to the Laurentian Chronicle in the Ultra March 6703) year (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 412), in July, on the Monday before the Day of the Maccabees (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 680) . His co-ruler was Rurik Rostislavich, who owned the Principality of Kyiv (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 626). In historiography, their joint reign received the designation “duumvirate,” but Rurik is not included in the lists of Kyiv princes, since he did not sit on the Kiev table (unlike the similar duumvirate of the Mstislavichs with Vyacheslav Vladimirovich in the 1150s).
He sat on the throne after the death of Svyatoslav in 1194 (March 6702, Ultra-Martov 6703) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 412, vol. II, stb. 681). Expelled from Kyiv by Roman Mstislavich in the Ultra-Martov year 6710. During the negotiations, Roman was in Kyiv at the same time as Rurik (he occupied Podol, while Rurik remained on the Mountain). (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 417)
He sat on the throne in 1201 (according to the Laurentian and Resurrection Chronicles in the Ultra March 6710, according to the Trinity and Nikon Chronicles in the March 6709) by the will of Roman Mstislavich and Vsevolod Yuryevich (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 418; vol. VII, p. 107 ; vol. X, p. 34; Trinity Chronicle. P. 284).
Took Kyiv January 2, 1203(6711 ultra-March) year (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 418). In the Novgorod first chronicle on January 1, 6711 (PSRL, vol. III, p. 45), in the Novgorod fourth chronicle on January 2, 6711 (PSRL, vol. IV, p. 180), in the Trinity and Resurrection chronicles on January 2, 6710 ( Trinity Chronicle. P. 285; PSRL, vol. VII, p. 107). In February 1203 (6711) Roman opposed Rurik and besieged him in Ovruch. In connection with this circumstance, some historians express the opinion that Rurik, after the sack of Kyiv, left the city without becoming a ruler in it ( Grushevsky M. S. Essay on the history of the Kyiv land from the death of Yaroslav to the end of the 14th century. K., 1891. - P.265). As a result, Roman made peace with Rurik, and then Vsevolod confirmed Rurik’s rule in Kyiv (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 419). After the quarrel that occurred in Trepol at the end of the joint campaign against the Polovtsians, Roman captured Rurik and sent him to Kyiv, accompanied by his boyar Vyacheslav. Upon arrival in the capital, Rurik was forcibly tonsured a monk. This happened in the “fierce winter” in 6713 according to the Laurentian Chronicle (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 420, in the Novgorod first junior edition and the Trinity Chronicle, winter of 6711 (PSRL, vol. III, p. 240; Trinity Chronicle. With .286), in the Sofia First Chronicle in 6712 (PSRL, vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 260). The fact that Rurik was escorted by Vyacheslav is reported in the Novgorod First Chronicle of the younger edition (PSRL, vol. III, p. 240; Gorovenko A.V. Sword of Roman Galitsky. Prince Roman Mstislavich in history, epic and legends. M., 2014. - P. 148). In the list of Kyiv princes compiled by L. Makhnovets, Roman is indicated as a prince for two weeks in 1204 ( Makhnovets L. E. Grand Dukes of Kiev // Russian Chronicle / Under the Ipatsky list. - K., 1989. - P.522), in the list compiled by A. Poppe - in 1204-1205 ( Podskalski G. Christianity and theological literature in Kievan Rus (988 - 1237). St. Petersburg, 1996. - P. 474), however, the chronicles do not say that he was in Kyiv. This is reported only in the so-called news of Tatishchev. However, from 1201 to 1205, Roman actually put his proteges on the Kiev table (unlike Andrei Bogolyubsky in a similar situation 30 years ago, he personally came to the Kiev principality for this). The actual status of Roman is reflected in the Ipatiev Chronicle, where he is included in the list of Kyiv princes (between Rurik and Mstislav Romanovich) (PSRL. T.II, art. 2) and called a prince "All Rus'"- such a definition was applied only to the Kyiv princes (PSRL. T.II, stb.715).
Placed on the throne by agreement of Roman and Vsevolod after the tonsure of Rurik in winter (that is, at the beginning of 1204) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 421, vol. X, p. 36). Soon after the death of Roman Mstislavich ( June 19 1205) lost Kyiv to his father.
He took off his hair after the death of Roman Mstislavich, which followed on June 19, 1205 (Ultra-March 6714) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 426) In the First Sofia Chronicle under 6712 (PSRL, vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 260), in Trinity and Nikon Chronicles under 6713 (Trinity Chronicle. p. 292; PSRL, vol. X, p. 50) and again sat on the throne. After an unsuccessful campaign against Galich in March 6714, he retired to Ovruch (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 427). According to the Laurentian Chronicle, he settled in Kyiv (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 428). In 1207 (March 6715) he again fled to Ovruch (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 429). It is believed that the messages under 1206 and 1207 duplicate each other (see also PSRL, vol. VII, p. 235: interpretation in the Resurrection Chronicle as two reigns)
He settled in Kyiv in March 6714 (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 427), around August. The date of 1206 is being clarified to coincide with the campaign against Galich. According to the Laurentian Chronicle, in the same year he was expelled by Rurik (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 428).
He sat down in Kyiv, expelling Vsevolod from there (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 428). He left Kyiv the following year when Vsevolod’s troops approached (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 429). The messages in the chronicles under 1206 and 1207 may be duplicates of each other.
Settled in Kyiv in the spring of 6715 (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 429), in the fall of the same year he was again expelled by Rurik (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 433).
He settled in Kyiv in the fall of 1207, around October (Trinity Chronicle. pp. 293, 297; PSRL, vol. X, pp. 52, 59). In the Trinity and most of the lists of the Nikon Chronicle, duplicate messages are placed under the years 6714 and 6716. The exact date is established by synchronism with the Ryazan campaign of Vsevolod Yuryevich. By agreement with Vsevolod, in 1210 (according to the Laurentian Chronicle, 6718) he went to reign in Chernigov (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 435) (according to the Nikon Chronicle - in 6719, PSRL, vol. X, p. 62, according to the Resurrection Chronicle - in 6717, PSRL, vol. VII, p. 235). However, in historiography there are doubts about this message; perhaps Rurik is confused with the Chernigov prince, who bore the same name. According to other sources (Typographic Chronicle, PSRL, vol. XXIV, p. 28 and Piskarevsky chronicler, PSRL, vol. XXXIV, p. 81), he died in Kyiv. ( Pyatnov A.P. The struggle for the Kiev table in the 1210s. Controversial issues of chronology // Ancient Rus. Questions of medieval studies. - 1/2002 (7)).
Settled in Kyiv either as a result of an exchange with Rurik for Chernigov (?), or after the death of Rurik (see previous note). Expelled from Kyiv by Mstislav Mstislavich in the summer 1214 year (in the Novgorod first and fourth chronicles, as well as Nikonovskaya, this event is described under the year 6722 (PSRL, vol. III, p. 53; vol. IV, p. 185, vol. X, p. 67), in the Sofia first chronicle clearly erroneously under 6703 and again under 6723 (PSRL, vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 250, 263), in the Tver Chronicle twice - under 6720 and 6722, in the Resurrection Chronicle under 6720 (PSRL, vol. VII , pp. 118, 235, vol. XV, stb. 312, 314). Data from intra-chronicle reconstruction speak for the year 1214, for example, February 1 of the March year 6722 (1215) was Sunday, as indicated in the First Novgorod Chronicle, and in the Ipatiev In the chronicle, Vsevolod is listed as a Kiev prince in the year 6719 (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 729), which in its chronology corresponds to 1214 ( Mayorov A.V. Galician-Volyn Rus. St. Petersburg, 2001. P.411). However, according to N.G. Berezhkov, based on a comparison of data from the Novgorod chronicles with the Livonian chronicles, this 1212 year.
His short reign after the expulsion of Vsevolod it is mentioned in the Resurrection Chronicle (PSRL, vol. VII, pp. 118, 235).
His allies set out from Novgorod June 8(Novgorod First Chronicle, PSRL, vol. III, p. 32) Sat on the throne after the expulsion of Vsevolod (in the Novgorod First Chronicle under 6722). Killed in 1223, in the tenth year of his reign (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 503), after the battle on Kalka, which took place May 30 6731 (1223) years (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 447). In the Ipatiev Chronicle the year is 6732, in the Novgorod First May 31 6732 (PSRL, vol. III, p. 63), in Nikonovskaya June 16 6733 (PSRL, vol. X, p. 92), in the introductory part of the Resurrection Chronicle 6733 (PSRL, vol. VII, p. 235), but in the main part of the Resurrection on June 16, 6731 (PSRL, vol. VII, p. 132). Killed 2 June 1223 (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 508) There is no date in the chronicle, but it is indicated that after the battle on Kalka, Prince Mstislav defended himself for three more days. Date accuracy 1223 for the Battle of Kalka is established by comparison with a number of foreign sources.
According to the First Novgorod Chronicle, he sat down in Kyiv in 1218 (Ultra-March 6727) year (PSRL, vol. III, p. 59, vol. IV, p. 199; vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 275), which may indicate his co-government. Sat on the throne after the death of Mstislav (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 509) June 16 1223 (Ultra-March 6732) year (PSRL, vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 282, vol. XV, stb. 343). Having been defeated in the battle of Torchesky on the Feast of the Ascension ( May 17), was captured by the Polovtsy when they took Kyiv (late May or early June) 6743 (1235) (PSRL, vol. III, p. 74). According to the First Sofia and Moscow Academic Chronicles, he reigned for 10 years, but the date in them is the same - 6743 (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 513; vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 287).
In the early chronicles (Ipatiev and Novgorod I) without a patronymic (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 772, vol. III, p. 74), in the Lavrentievskaya it is not mentioned at all. Izyaslav Mstislavich in the Novgorod fourth, Sofia first (PSRL, vol. IV, p. 214; vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 287) and the Moscow Academic Chronicle, in the Tver Chronicle he is named the son of Mstislav Romanovich the Brave, and in the Nikon and Voskresensk - the grandson of Roman Rostislavich (PSRL, vol. VII, pp. 138, 236; vol. X, p. 104; XV, stb. 364), but there was no such prince (in Voskresenskaya - named the son of Mstislav Romanovich of Kyiv). In historiography he is sometimes referred to as "Izyaslav IV". According to modern scientists, this is either Izyaslav Vladimirovich, son of Vladimir Igorevich (this opinion has been widespread since N.M. Karamzin, a prince with that name is mentioned in the Ipatiev Chronicle), or son of Mstislav Udatny (analysis of this issue: Gorsky A. A. Russian lands in the XIII-XIV centuries: ways of political development. M., 1996. - P.14-17. Mayorov A.V. Galician-Volyn Rus. St. Petersburg, 2001. - P.542-544). He sat on the throne in 6743 (1235) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 513, vol. III, p. 74) (according to Nikonovskaya in 6744). In the Ipatiev Chronicle it is mentioned under the year 6741. At the end of the same year, Vladimir Rurikovich was released from Polovtsian captivity and immediately regained Kyiv.
Having been freed from Polovtsian captivity, he sent help to Daniil Romanovich against the Galicians and Bolokhovites in the spring of 1236. According to the Ipatiev Chronicle in (6744) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 777) Kyiv was ceded to Yaroslav Vsevolodovich. In the First Novgorod Chronicle his repeated reign is not mentioned.
He sat on the throne in 6744 (1236) (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 513, vol. III, p. 74, vol. IV, p. 214). In Ipatievskaya under 6743 (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 777). In 1238 he went to Vladimir. The exact month is not indicated in the chronicles, but it is obvious that this happened shortly or shortly after the battle on the river. City ( 10th of March), in which Yaroslav’s elder brother, Grand Duke Yuri of Vladimir, died. (PSRL, vol. X, p. 113). (For the chronology of Yaroslav’s reign in Kyiv, see Gorsky A. A. Problems of the study of the Words about the destruction of the Russian land: to 750 the anniversary of the time of writing// Proceedings of the Department of Old Russian literature 1990. T. 43).
The short list of princes at the beginning of the Ipatiev Chronicle places him after Yaroslav (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 2), but this may be a mistake. There is also a mention in the late Gustyn Chronicle, but most likely it was simply based on the list (PSRL, vol. 40, p. 118). This reign is accepted by M. B. Sverdlov ( Sverdlov M. B. Pre-Mongol Rus'. St. Petersburg, 2002. - P. 653) and L. E. Makhnovets ( Makhnovets L. E. Grand Dukes of Kiev // Russian Chronicle / Under the Ipatsky list. - K., 1989. - P.522).
Occupied Kyiv in 1238 after Yaroslav (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 777, vol. VII, p. 236; vol. X, p. 114). On March 3, 1239, he received Tatar ambassadors in Kyiv, and continued to remain in the capital at least until the siege of Chernigov (c. October 18). When the Tatars approached Kyiv, he left for Hungary (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 782). In the Ipatiev Chronicle under the year 6746, in the Nikon Chronicle under the year 6748 (PSRL, vol. X, p. 116).
Occupied Kiev after the departure of Michael, expelled by Daniel (in the Hypatian Chronicle under 6746, in the Fourth Novgorod Chronicle and the First Sophia Chronicle under 6748) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 782, vol. IV, p. 226; VI, issue 1, Stb. 301).
Daniel, having occupied Kyiv in 6748, left the thousand Dmitry there (PSRL, vol. IV, p. 226, vol. X, p. 116). Dmitry led the city at the time of its capture by the Tatars (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 786). According to the Lavrentievskaya and most later chronicles, Kyiv was taken on St. Nicholas Day (that is, December 6) 6748 (1240 ) year (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 470). According to chronicles of Pskov origin (chronicle of Avraamka, Suprasl), in Monday 19 November. (PSRL, vol. XVI, stb. 51). Cm. Stavisky V. I. About two dates of the assault on Kyiv in 1240 according to Russian chronicles // Proceedings of the Department of Ancient Russian Literature. 1990. T. 43
Returned to Kyiv after the Tatars left. Left Silesia after April 9 1241 (after the defeat of Henry by the Tatars in the Battle of Legnica, PSRL, vol. II, stb. 784). He lived near the city, “near Kiev on an island” (on the island of the Dnieper) (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 789, PSRL, vol. VI, issue 1, stb. 319). Then he returned to Chernigov, but when this happened, the chronicles do not say.
From now on, Russian princes received power with the sanction of the khans (in Russian terminology, “kings”) of the Golden Horde, who were recognized as the supreme rulers of the Russian lands.
In 6751 (1243) Yaroslav arrived in the Horde and was recognized as the ruler of all Russian lands “older than all princes in the Russian language”(PSRL, vol. I, stb. 470). Sat in Vladimir. The moment when he took possession of Kiev is not indicated in the chronicles. It is known that in 1246 his boyar Dmitr Eikovich was sitting in the city (PSRL, vol. II, stb. 806, in the Ipatiev Chronicle it is indicated under the year 6758 (1250) in connection with the trip to the Horde of Daniil Romanovich, the correct date is established by synchronization with the Polish sources. Starting with N. M. Karamzin, most historians proceed from the obvious assumption that Yaroslav received Kyiv under the khan's label. September 30th 1246 (PSRL, vol. I, stb. 471).

V, p. 264, PSRL, vol. XII, p. 16 ), which may indicate the Assumption Cathedral of Vladimir (The version of Vasily’s enthronement in Vladimir is defended by V.D. Nazarov.

The description of history in textbooks and multimillion-dollar works of fiction in recent decades has been questioned, to put it mildly. The rulers of Russia in chronological order are of great importance in the study of ancient times. People interested in their native history are beginning to understand that, in fact, the real history written on paper does not exist; there are versions from which everyone chooses their own, corresponding to their ideas. History from textbooks is only suitable as a starting point.

Rulers of Rus' during the period of the highest rise of the Ancient State

Much of what is known about the history of Rus' - Russia is gleaned from “lists” of chronicles, the originals of which have not survived. In addition, even copies often contradict themselves and the elementary logic of events. Often historians are forced to accept only their own opinion and claim it to be the only correct one.

The first legendary rulers of Rus', who date back to 2.5 thousand years BC, were brothers Slovenian and Rus. They descend from the son of Noah Japheth (hence Vandal, Obodrit, etc.). The people of Rus are the Russians, the Rus, the people of Slovenia are the Slovenes, the Slavs. On the lake The Ilmen brothers built the cities of Slovensk and Rusa (currently Staraya Rusa). Veliky Novgorod was later built on the site of the burned Slovensk.

Known descendants of Sloven - Burivoy and Gostomysl- the son of Burivoy, either the mayor, or the foreman of Novgorod, who, having lost all his sons in battles, called his grandson Rurik to Rus' from the related tribe Rus (specifically from the island of Rügen).

Next come the versions written by German “historiographers” (Bayer, Miller, Schletzer) in Russian service. In the German historiography of Rus', it is striking that it was written by people who did not know the Russian language, traditions and beliefs. Who collected and rewrote chronicles, without preserving, but often deliberately destroying, adjusting the facts to some ready-made version. It is interesting that for several hundred years, Russian historiographers, instead of refuting the German version of history, did their best to adapt new facts and research to it.

Rulers of Rus' according to historical tradition:

1. Rurik (862 – 879)- called by his grandfather to restore order and stop civil strife between Slavic and Finno-Ugric tribes in the territory of modern Leningrad and Novgorod regions. Founded or restored the city of Ladoga (Old Ladoga). Ruled in Novgorod. After the Novgorod uprising of 864, under the leadership of the governor Vadim the Brave, he united northwestern Rus' under his leadership.

According to legend, he sent (or they left) the warriors Askold and Dir by water fight in Constantinople. They captured Kyiv on the way.

It is not known exactly how the founder of the Rurik dynasty died.

2. Oleg the Prophet (879 – 912)- a relative or successor of Rurik, who remained at the head of the Novgorod state, either as the guardian of Rurik’s son, Igor, or as a legitimate prince.

In 882 he goes to Kyiv. Along the way, he peacefully annexed to the principality many tribal Slavic lands along the Dnieper, including the lands of the Smolensk Krivichi. In Kyiv he kills Askold and Dir, makes Kyiv the capital.

In 907 he waged a victorious war with Byzantium - a trade agreement beneficial for Rus' was signed. He nails his shield to the gates of Constantinople. He made many successful and not so military campaigns (including defending the interests of the Khazar Khaganate), becoming the creator of the state of Kievan Rus. According to legend, he dies from a snake bite.

3. Igor (912 – 945)- fights for the unity of the state, constantly pacifying and annexing the surrounding Kyiv lands and Slavic tribes. It has been at war with the Pechenegs since 920. Makes two campaigns against Constantinople: in 941 - unsuccessful, in 944 - with the conclusion of an agreement on more favorable terms for Rus' than Oleg's. He dies at the hands of the Drevlyans, going for a second tribute.

4. Olga (945 – after 959)- regent for three-year-old Svyatoslav. The date of birth and origin are not precisely established - either an ordinary Varangian, or Oleg’s daughter. She took cruel and sophisticated revenge on the Drevlyans for the murder of her husband. She clearly established the size of the tribute. Divided Rus' into parts controlled by tiuns. Introduced a system of graveyards - places of trade and exchange. She built fortresses and cities. In 955 she was baptized in Constantinople.

The time of her reign is characterized by peace with the surrounding countries and the development of the state in all respects. The first Russian saint. She died in 969.

5. Svyatoslav Igorevich (959 – March 972)- the date of the beginning of the reign is relative - the country was ruled by the mother until her death, Svyatoslav himself preferred to fight and was in Kyiv rarely and not for long. Even the first Pecheneg raid and the siege of Kyiv was met by Olga.

As a result of two campaigns, Svyatoslav defeated the Khazar Khaganate, to which Rus' had been paying tribute with its soldiers for a long time. He conquered and imposed tribute on Volga Bulgaria. Supporting ancient traditions and in agreement with the squad, he despised Christians, Muslims and Jews. He conquered Tmutarakan and made the Vyatichi tributaries. In the period from 967 to 969 he successfully fought in Bulgaria under an agreement with the Byzantine Empire. In 969, he distributed Rus' among his sons into appanages: Yaropolk - Kyiv, Oleg - the Drevlyan lands, Vladimir (the bastard son of the housekeeper) - Novgorod. He himself went to the new capital of his state - Pereyaslavets on the Danube. In 970 - 971 he fought with the Byzantine Empire with varying success. Killed by Pechenegs, bribed by Constantinople, on the way to Kyiv, as he became too strong an enemy for Byzantium.

6. Yaropolk Svyatoslavich (972 – 06/11/978)– tried to establish relationships with the Holy Roman Empire and the Pope. Supported Christians in Kyiv. Minted his own coin.

In 978 he defeated the Pechenegs. In 977, at the instigation of the boyars, he began an internecine war with his brothers. Oleg died trampled by horses during the siege of the fortress, Vladimir fled “overseas” and returned with a mercenary army. As a result of the war, Yaropolk, who was invited to the negotiations, was killed, and Vladimir took the grand-ducal place.

7. Vladimir Svyatoslavich (06/11/978 – 07/15/1015)- made attempts to reform the Slavic Vedic cult, using human sacrifices. He conquered Cherven Rus and Przemysl from the Poles. He conquered the Yatvingians, which opened the way for Rus' to the Baltic Sea. He imposed tribute on the Vyatichi and Rodimichs, while uniting the Novgorod and Kyiv lands. Concluded a profitable peace with Volga Bulgaria.

He captured Korsun in the Crimea in 988 and threatened to march on Constantinople if he did not get the sister of the Byzantine emperor as his wife. Having received a wife, he was baptized there in Korsun and began to spread Christianity in Rus' “with fire and sword.” During forced Christianization, the country was depopulated - out of 12 million, only 3 remained. Only Rostov-Suzdal land was able to avoid forced Christianization.

He paid a lot of attention to the recognition of Kievan Rus in the West. He built several fortresses to defend the principality from the Polovtsians. With military campaigns he reached the North Caucasus.

8. Svyatopolk Vladimirovich (1015 – 1016, 1018 – 1019)- Using the support of the people and boyars, he took the Kiev throne. Soon three brothers die - Boris, Gleb, Svyatoslav. His brother, Prince Yaroslav of Novgorod, begins to wage an open struggle for the grand-ducal throne. After the defeat from Yaroslav, Svyatopolk runs to his father-in-law, King of Poland Boleslav I the Brave. In 1018, he defeated Yaroslav with Polish troops. The Poles, who began to plunder Kyiv, caused popular indignation, and Svyatopolk was forced to disperse them, leaving him without troops.

Yaroslav, who returned with new troops, easily takes Kyiv. Svyatopolk, with the help of the Pechenegs, tries to regain power, but to no avail. He dies, deciding to go to the Pechenegs.

For the murders of his brothers attributed to him, he was nicknamed the Damned.

9. Yaroslav the Wise (1016 – 1018, 1019 – 02/20/1054)– first settled in Kyiv during the war with his brother Svyatopolk. He received support from the Novgorodians, and besides them he had a mercenary army.

The beginning of the second period of reign was marked by princely strife with his brother Mstislav, who defeated Yaroslav's troops and captured the left bank of the Dnieper with Chernigov. Peace was concluded between the brothers, they went on joint campaigns against Yasov and the Poles, but Grand Duke Yaroslav remained in Novgorod, and not in the capital Kyiv, until his brother’s death.

In 1030 he defeated Chud and founded the city of Yuryev. Immediately after Mstislav's death, fearing competition, he imprisons his last brother Sudislav and moves to Kyiv.

In 1036 he defeated the Pechenegs, freeing Rus' from raids. In subsequent years, he made campaigns against the Yatvingians, Lithuania and Mazovia. In 1043 - 1046 he fought with the Byzantine Empire because of the murder of a noble Russian in Constantinople. Breaks the alliance with Poland and marries his daughter Anna to the French king.

Together with his brothers, he creates a set of laws “Pravda Yaroslavichy”. The first reign is characterized by joint decision-making by all Yaroslavich brothers - the Triumvirate.

In 1055, the brothers defeated the Torks near Pereyaslavl and established borders with the Polovtsian Land. Izyaslav provides assistance to Byzantium in Armenia, seizes the lands of the Baltic people - golyad. In 1067, as a result of the war with the Principality of Polotsk, Prince Vseslav the Magician was captured by deception.

In 1068, Izyaslav refused to arm the people of Kiev against the Polovtsians, for which he was expelled from Kyiv. Returns with Polish troops.

In 1073, as a result of a conspiracy drawn up younger brothers, leaves Kyiv and wanders around Europe for a long time in search of allies. The throne is returned after Svyatoslav Yaroslavovich dies.

He died in a battle with his nephews near Chernigov.

11. Vseslav Bryachislavich (09/14/1068 – April 1069)- Prince of Polotsk, released from arrest by the people of Kiev who rebelled against Izyaslav and elevated to the grand princely throne. Left Kyiv when Izyaslav approached with the Poles. He reigned in Polotsk for more than 30 years, without stopping the fight against the Yaroslavichs.

12.Svyatoslav Yaroslavich (03/22/1073 – 12/27/1076)- came to power in Kyiv as a result of a conspiracy against his older brother, with the support of the people of Kiev. He devoted a lot of attention and money to maintaining the clergy and the church. Died as a result of surgery.

13.Vsevolod Yaroslavich (01/1/1077 – July 1077, October 1078 – 04/13/1093)– the first period ended with the voluntary transfer of power to brother Izyaslav. For the second time he took the place of the Grand Duke after the death of the latter in an internecine war.

Almost the entire period of reign was marked by fierce internecine struggle, especially with the Principality of Polotsk. Vladimir Monomakh, the son of Vsevolod, distinguished himself in this civil strife, who, with the help of the Polovtsians, carried out several devastating campaigns against the Polotsk lands.

Vsevolod and Monomakh conducted campaigns against the Vyatichi and Polovtsians.

Vsevolod married his daughter Eupraxia to the Emperor of the Roman Empire. The marriage, sanctified by the church, ended in scandal and accusations against the emperor of conducting satanic rituals.

14. Svyatopolk Izyaslavich (04/24/1093 – 04/16/1113)- the first thing he did, upon ascending the throne, was arrest the Polovtsian ambassadors, starting a war. As a result, together with V. Monomakh, he was defeated by the Polovtsians on Stugna and Zhelani, Torchesk was burned and three main Kyiv monasteries were plundered.

The princely feuds were not stopped by the congress of princes in Lyubech in 1097, which assigned possessions to the branches of the princely dynasties. Svyatopolk Izyaslavich remained the Grand Duke and ruler of Kyiv and Turov. Immediately after the congress, he slandered V. Monomakh and other princes. They responded with a siege of Kyiv, which ended in a truce.

In 1100, at the congress of princes in Uvetchytsy, Svyatopolk received Volyn.

In 1104, Svyatopolk organized a campaign against the Minsk prince Gleb.

In 1103–1111, a coalition of princes led by Svyatopolk and Vladimir Monomakh successfully waged a war against the Polovtsians.

The death of Svyatopolk was accompanied by an uprising in Kyiv against the boyars and moneylenders closest to him.

15. Vladimir Monomakh (04/20/1113 – 05/19/1125)- invited to reign during the uprising in Kyiv against the administration of Svyatopolk. He created the “Charter on Cuts,” which was included in “Russkaya Pravda,” which eased the situation of debtors while fully maintaining feudal relations.

The beginning of the reign was not without civil strife: Yaroslav Svyatopolchich, who claimed the throne of Kiev, had to be expelled from Volyn. The period of Monomakh's reign was the last period of strengthening of the grand ducal power in Kyiv. Together with his sons, the Grand Duke owned 75% of the territory of chronicle Rus'.

To strengthen the state, Monomakh often used dynastic marriages and his authority as a military leader - the conqueror of the Polovtsians. During his reign, his sons defeated the Chud and defeated the Volga Bulgars.

In 1116–1119, Vladimir Vsevolodovich successfully fought with Byzantium. As a result of the war, as a ransom, he received from the emperor the title “Tsar of All Rus'”, a scepter, an orb, and a royal crown (Monomakh’s cap). As a result of negotiations, Monomakh married his granddaughter to the emperor.

16. Mstislav the Great (05/20/1125 – 04/15/1132)- initially owned only the Kyiv land, but was recognized as the eldest among the princes. Gradually he began to control the cities of Novgorod, Chernigov, Kursk, Murom, Ryazan, Smolensk and Turov through dynastic marriages.

In 1129 he plundered the Polotsk lands. In 1131, he deprived of allotments and expelled the Polotsk princes, led by the son of Vseslav the Magician - Davyd.

In the period from 1130 to 1132 he made several campaigns with varying success against the Baltic tribes, including Chud and Lithuania.

The State of Mstislav is the last informal unification of the principalities of Kievan Rus. He controlled everything big cities, all the way “from the Varangians to the Greeks,” the accumulated military strength gave him the right to be called Great in the chronicles.

Rulers of the Old Russian state during the period of fragmentation and decline of Kyiv

The princes on the Kiev throne during this period were replaced frequently and did not rule for long, most of them not showing themselves to be anything remarkable:

1. Yaropolk Vladimirovich (04/17/1132 – 02/18/1139)- the prince of Pereyaslavl was called to rule the people of Kiev, but his first decision to transfer Pereyaslavl to Izyaslav Mstislavich, who had previously ruled in Polotsk, caused indignation among the people of Kiev and the expulsion of Yaropolk. In the same year, the people of Kiev summoned Yaropolk again, but Polotsk, to which the dynasty of Vseslav the Sorcerer returned, broke away from Kievan Rus.

In the internecine struggle that began between the various branches of the Rurikovichs, the Grand Duke was unable to show firmness and by the time of his death he had lost control, in addition to Polotsk, over Novgorod and Chernigov. Nominally, only the Rostov-Suzdal land was subordinate to him.

2. Vyacheslav Vladimirovich (22.02 – 4.03.1139, April 1151 – 6.02.1154)- the first, one and a half week period of reign ended with the overthrow of Vsevolod Olgovich, the Chernigov prince.

In the second period it was only an official sign; real power belonged to Izyaslav Mstislavich.

3. Vsevolod Olgovich (03/05/1139 – 08/1/1146)- Chernigov prince, forcibly removed Vyacheslav Vladimirovich from the throne, interrupting the reign of the Monomashichs in Kyiv. He was not loved by the people of Kiev. The entire period of his reign skillfully maneuvered between the Mstislavovichs and the Monomashichs. He constantly fought with the latter, tried to keep his own relatives away from the grand-ducal power.

4. Igor Olgovich (1 – 08/13/1146)– received Kyiv according to his brother’s will, which outraged the city residents. The townspeople called Izyaslav Mstislavich to the throne from Pereslavl. After the battle between the contenders, Igor was put in a log, where he became seriously ill. Released from there, he became a monk, but in 1147, on suspicion of conspiracy against Izyaslav, he was executed by vengeful Kyivians only because Olgovich.

5. Izyaslav Mstislavich (08/13/1146 – 08/23/1149, 1151 – 11/13/1154)- in the first period, in addition to Kyiv, he directly ruled Pereyaslavl, Turov, and Volyn. In the internecine struggle with Yuri Dolgoruky and his allies, he enjoyed the support of the Novgorodians, Smolensk and Ryazan residents. He often attracted allied Cumans, Hungarians, Czechs, and Poles into his ranks.

For attempting to elect a Russian metropolitan without the approval of the patriarch of Constantinople, he was excommunicated from the church.

He had the support of the people of Kiev in the fight against the Suzdal princes.

6. Yuri Dolgoruky (08/28/1149 – summer 1150, summer 1150 – beginning 1151, 03/20/1155 – 05/15/1157)- Suzdal prince, son of V. Monomakh. He sat on the grand-ducal throne three times. The first two times he was expelled from Kyiv by Izyaslav and the people of Kiev. In his struggle for the rights of Monomashich, he relied on the support of Novgorod - the Seversk prince Svyatoslav (brother of Igor, executed in Kyiv), the Galicians and the Polovtsians. The decisive battle in the fight against Izyaslav was the Battle of Ruta in 1151. Having lost which, Yuri one by one lost all his allies in the south.

The third time he subjugated Kyiv after Izyaslav and his co-ruler Vyacheslav died. In 1157 he made an unsuccessful campaign against Volyn, where the sons of Izyaslav settled.

Presumably poisoned by the people of Kiev.

In the south, only one son of Yuri Dolgoruky, Gleb, was able to gain a foothold in the Pereyaslavl principality, which had separated from Kyiv.

7. Rostislav Mstislavich (1154 – 1155, 04/12/1159 – 02/8/1161, March 1161 – 03/14/1167)- Prince of Smolensk for 40 years. Founded the Grand Duchy of Smolensk. He first took the Kiev throne at the invitation of Vyacheslav Vladimirovich, who called him to be a co-ruler, but soon died. Rostislav Mstislavich was forced to come out to meet Yuri Dolgoruky. Having met with his uncle, the Smolensk prince ceded Kyiv to his older relative.

The second and third terms of rule in Kyiv were divided by the attack of Izyaslav Davydovich with the Polovtsy, which forced Rostislav Mstislavovich to hide in Belgorod, waiting for his allies.

The reign was distinguished by calmness, insignificance of civil strife and peaceful resolution of conflicts. The attempts of the Polovtsians to disturb the peace in Rus' were suppressed in every possible way.

With help dynastic marriage annexed Vitebsk to the Smolensk principality.

8. Izyaslav Davydovich (winter 1155, 05/19/1157 - December 1158, 02/12 - 03/6/1161)- became the Grand Duke for the first time, defeating the troops of Rostislav Mstislavich, but was forced to cede the throne to Yuri Dolgoruky.

He took the throne for the second time after the death of Dolgoruky, but was defeated near Kiev by the Volyn and Galich princes for refusing to hand over the pretender to the Galician throne.

The third time he captured Kyiv, but was defeated by the allies of Rostislav Mstislavich.

9. Mstislav Izyaslavich (12/22/1158 – spring 1159, 05/19/1167 – 03/12/1169, February – 04/13/1170)- for the first time he became the prince of Kyiv, expelling Izyaslav Davydovich, but ceded the great reign to Rostislav Mstislavich, as the eldest in the family.

The people of Kiev called him to rule for the second time after the death of Rostislav Mstislavich. Could not maintain his rule against the army of Andrei Bogolyubsky.

The third time he settled in Kyiv without a fight, using the love of the people of Kiev and expelling Gleb Yuryevich, who was imprisoned in Kyiv by Andrei Bogolyubsky. However, abandoned by the allies, he was forced to return to Volyn.

He became famous for his victory over the Cumans at the head of coalition troops in 1168.

He is considered the last great Kyiv prince who had real power over Russia.

With the rise of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality, Kyiv is increasingly becoming an ordinary appanage, although it retains the name “great”. Problems, most likely, need to be looked for in what and how the rulers of Russia did, in the chronological order of their inheritance of power. Decades of civil strife bore fruit - the principality weakened and lost its importance for Rus'. Reign in Kyiv than the main thing. Often the Kyiv princes were appointed or replaced by the Grand Duke from Vladimir.

All the supreme rulers of Rus' contributed a lot to its development. Thanks to the power of the ancient Russian princes, the country was built, expanded territorially, and provided with protection to fight the enemy. Many buildings were built that today have become an international historical and cultural landmark. Rus' has been replaced by a dozen rulers. Kievan Rus finally disintegrated after the death of Prince Mstislav.
The collapse occurred in 1132. Separate, independent states were formed. All territories have lost their value.

Princes of Rus' in chronological order

The first princes in Rus' (the table is presented below) appeared thanks to the Rurik dynasty.

Prince Rurik

Rurik ruled the Novgorodians near the Varangian Sea. Therefore, it had two names: Novgorod, Varangian. After the death of his brothers, Rurik remained the only ruler in Rus'. He was married to Efanda. His assistants. They looked after the household and held courts.
Rurik's reign in Rus' took place from 862 to 879. Afterwards, two brothers Dir and Askold killed him and took the city of Kyiv into power.

Prince Oleg (Prophetic)

Dir and Askold did not rule for long. Oleg, Efanda’s brother, decided to take matters into his own hands. Oleg was famous throughout Rus' for his intelligence, strength, courage, and authority.He captured the cities of Smolensk, Lyubech and Constantinople into his possessions. Made the city of Kyiv the capital of the Kyiv state. Killed Askold and Dir.Igor became Oleg's adopted son and his direct heir to the throne.In his state lived the Varangians, Slovaks, Krivichi, Drevlyans, Northerners, Polyans, Tivertsy, and Ulichs.

In 909 Oleg met a sage-magician who told him:
“You will soon die from a snake bite because you will abandon your horse.” It so happened that the prince abandoned the horse, exchanging it for a new, younger one.
In 912, Oleg learned that his horse had died. He decided to go to the place where the remains of the horse lay.

Oleg asked:
- Will this horse cause me to die? And then, out of the horse’s skull crawled poisonous snake. The snake bit him, after which Oleg died. The prince's funeral lasted several days with all honors, because he was considered the strongest ruler.

Prince Igor

Immediately after Oleg’s death, the throne was taken by his stepson (Rurik’s own son) Igor. The dates of the prince's reign in Rus' vary from 912 to 945. His main task was to preserve the unity of the state. Igor defended his state from the attacks of the Pechenegs, who periodically made attempts to take over Russia. All tribes that were members of the state regularly paid tribute.
In 913, Igor married a young Pskov girl, Olga. He met her by chance in the city of Pskov. During his reign, Igor suffered quite a few attacks and battles. Fighting with the Khazars, he lost all his best army. After which, he had to re-create the armed defense of the state.

And again, in 914, the prince’s new army was destroyed in the fight against the Byzantines. The war lasted a long time and in the end, the prince signed an eternal peace treaty with Constantinople. The wife helped her husband in everything. They ruled half of the state. In 942 they had a son, who was named Svyatoslav. In 945, Prince Igor was killed by the neighboring Drevlyans, who did not want to pay tribute.

Princess Saint Olga

After the death of her husband Igor, his wife Olga took the throne. Despite the fact that she was a woman, she was able to rule all of Kievan Rus. In this difficult task, she was helped by her intelligence, intelligence and courage. All the qualities of a ruler came together in one woman and helped her cope well with the rule of the state. She took revenge on the greedy Drevlyans for the death of her husband. Their city of Korosten soon became part of her possessions. Olga is the first of the Russian rulers to convert to Christianity.

Svyatoslav Igorevich

Olga waited a long time for her son to grow up. And having reached adulthood, Svyatoslav fully became the ruler of Rus'. The years of the prince's reign in Rus' from 964 to 972. Svyatoslav already at the age of three became the direct heir to the throne. But since he physically could not rule Kievan Rus, he was replaced by his mother, Saint Olga. Throughout his childhood and adolescence, the child learned about military affairs. I learned to be brave and belligerent. In 967, his army defeated the Bulgarians. After the death of his mother, in 970, Svyatoslav launched an invasion of Byzantium. But the forces were not equal. He was forced to sign a peace treaty with Byzantium. Svyatoslav had three sons: Yaropolk, Oleg, Vladimir. After Svyatoslav returned back to Kyiv, in March 972, the young prince was killed by the Pechenegs. From his skull, the Pechenegs forged a gilded pie bowl.

After the death of his father, the throne was taken by one of the sons, the prince of Ancient Rus' (table below) Yaropolk.

Yaropolk Svyatoslavovich

Despite the fact that Yaropolk, Oleg, Vladimir were siblings, they were never friends. Moreover, they constantly fought with each other.
All three wanted to rule Russia. But Yaropolk won the fight. Sent his siblings outside the country. During his reign, he managed to conclude a peaceful, eternal treaty with Byzantium. Yaropolk wanted to make friends with Rome. Many were not happy with the new ruler. There was a lot of permissiveness. The pagans, together with Vladimir (Yaropolk’s brother), successfully seized power into their own hands. Yaropolk had no choice but to simply flee the country. He began to live in the city of Roden. But some time later, in 980, he was killed by the Varangians. Yaropolk decided to make an attempt to capture Kyiv for himself, but it all ended in failure. During his short reign, Yaropolk failed to make global changes in Kievan Rus, because he was famous for his peacefulness.

Vladimir Svyatoslavovich

Novgorod Prince Vladimir was the youngest son of Prince Svyatoslav. Ruled Kievan Rus from 980 to 1015. He was warlike, courageous, and possessed all the necessary qualities that a ruler of Kievan Rus should have had. Performed all the functions of a prince in ancient Rus'.

During his reign,

built defenses along the Desna, Trubezh, Osetra, and Sula rivers.
Many beautiful buildings were built.
Made Christianity the state religion.

Thanks to his great contribution to the development and prosperity of Kievan Rus, he received the nickname “Vladimir the Red Sun.” He had seven sons: Svyatopolk, Izyaslav, Yaroslav, Mstislav, Svyatoslav, Boris, Gleb. He divided his lands equally among all his sons.

Svyatopolk Vladimirovich

Immediately after the death of his father in 1015, he became the ruler of Rus'. Part of Rus' was not enough for him. He wanted to take possession of the entire Kyiv state and decided to get rid of his brothers. First, on his orders, it was necessary to kill Gleb, Boris, and Svyatoslav. But this did not bring him happiness. Without arousing the approval of the people, he was expelled from Kyiv. For help in the war with his brothers, Svyatopolk turned to his father-in-law, who was the king of Poland. He helped his son-in-law, but the rule of Kievan Rus did not last long. In 1019 he had to flee from Kyiv. That same year he committed suicide, as his conscience tormented him because he had killed his brothers.

Yaroslav Vladimirovich (Wise)

He ruled Kievan Rus from 1019 to 1054. He was nicknamed the Wise because he had an amazing mind, wisdom, and courage, inherited from his father. He built two large cities: Yaroslavl, Yuryev. He treated his people with care and understanding. One of the first princes who introduced a set of laws into the state called “Russian Truth”. Following his father, he divided the land equally between his sons: Izyaslav, Svyatoslav, Vsevolod, Igor and Vyacheslav. From birth, he instilled in them peace, wisdom, and love of people.

Izyaslav Yaroslavovich First

Immediately after the death of his father, he ascended the throne. He ruled Kievan Rus from 1054 to 1078. He was the only prince in history who could not cope with his responsibilities. His assistant was his son Vladimir, without whom Izyaslav would simply have destroyed Kievan Rus.

Svyatopolk

The spineless prince took over the rule of Kievan Rus immediately after the death of his father Izyaslav. Ruled from 1078 to 1113.
It was difficult for him to find a common language with the ancient Russian princes (table below). During his reign, there was a campaign against the Polovtsians, in the organization of which Vladimir Monomakh helped him. They won the battle.

Vladimir Monomakh

After the death of Svyatopolk, Vladimir was elected ruler in 1113. Served the state until 1125. Smart, honest, brave, reliable, courageous. It was these qualities of Vladimir Monomakh that helped him rule Kievan Rus and be loved by the people. He is the last of the princes of Kievan Rus (table below) who managed to preserve the state in its original form.

Attention

All wars with the Polovtsians ended in victory.

Mstislav and the Collapse of Kievan Rus

Mstislav is the son of Vladimir Monomakh. He ascended the throne as ruler in 1125. He was similar to his father not only in appearance, but also in character, in the way he ruled Russia. The people treated him with respect. In 1134 he transferred the rule to his brother Yaropolk. Which contributed to the development of turmoil in the history of Russia. The Monomakhovichs lost their throne. But soon there was a complete collapse of Kievan Rus into thirteen separate states.

The Kyiv rulers did a lot for the Russian people. During their reign, everyone diligently fought their enemies. The development of Kievan Rus as a whole was underway. Many constructions were completed, beautiful buildings, churches, schools, bridges, which were destroyed by enemies, and everything was built anew. All the princes of Kievan Rus, the table below, did a lot that made history unforgettable.
