The final stage of the creation of a unified Russian state briefly. Completion of the formation of a unified Russian state. Ivan III and Vasily II. Questions for self-control

Completion of the unification of Russian lands around Moscow at the end of XV- early XVI centuries Formation of the Russian state.

The process of completing the formation of the Russian state chronologically coincides with the formation of Western European countries and falls on the reign of Ivan III (1462-1505) and Vasily III (1505-1533).

After the death of Vasily II the Dark, the throne of Moscow was taken by his eldest son Ivan Vasilyevich, who became co-ruler of his father during his lifetime. It was on the lot of Ivan III that the completion of the two-century process of unification of Russian lands and the overthrow of the Golden Horde yoke fell. Distinguished by his great mind and willpower, this great Moscow sovereign:

Finished collecting lands under the rule of Moscow; laid the foundations of Russian autocracy;

Strengthened the state apparatus; raised the international prestige of Moscow.

Ivan III was the actual creator of the Muscovite state. During the years of his reign, the Grand Duchy of Yaroslavl (1463), the Perm Territory (1472), the Grand Duchy of Rostov (1474), Novgorod and its possessions (1478), the Grand Duchy of Tver (1485), the Vyatka Land (1489) were annexed to Moscow. The great and specific princes renounced the supreme rights in their possessions and passed under the political patronage of the Moscow prince.

As an independent sovereign, Ivan III began to behave towards the Tatars. In 1476, he refused to pay them an annual tribute and entered into an alliance with the Crimean Khan, an opponent of the Golden Horde. "Standing on the Ugra" (1480) put an end to the Mongol-Tatar yoke. Russian state acquired formal sovereignty.

In 1472, Ivan III married the niece of the last Byzantine emperor, Zoya (Sophia) Palaiologos, who raised the importance of monarchical power in Russia. At the Moscow court, a magnificent, strict and complex ceremonial was started according to the Byzantine model. From the end of the XV century. The seals of Ivan III depicted not only the Moscow coat of arms with George the Victorious, but also the coat of arms of Byzantium with a double-headed eagle.

The change in the socio-political status of the Grand Duke of Moscow was also reflected in his titles, now he was called: “John, by the grace of God Sovereign of All Russia and Grand Duke of Vladimir and Moscow and Novgorod and Pskov and Tver and others. In international relations, Ivan III began to call himself tsar, as before only the Byzantine emperor and the Tatar khan were called.

In 1493, Ivan III formally assumed the title of "sovereign of all Russia." The titles adopted by Ivan III - "tsar" and "autocrat" - emphasized the independence, independence of the sovereign of all Russia.

Finally, at the end of the 15th century, the existence of the Moscow state (Muscovy) became known in the countries of Western Europe. Under Ivan III, diplomatic relations were established with Germany, Venice, Denmark, Hungary and Turkey.

The son of Ivan III Vasily III, having annexed Pskov to Moscow (1510), the Grand Duchy

Ryazan (1517), the principalities of Starodub and Novgorod-Severskoe (1517-1523) and Smolensk (1514), actually completed the unification of Great Russia and turned Muscovy into the nation state.

The princes in the annexed lands became the boyars of the Moscow sovereign. These principalities were now called uyezds and were ruled by governors from Moscow. The governors were also called "boyars-feeders", since they received food for managing the districts - part of the tax, the amount of which was determined by the previous payment for service in the troops. Localism is the right to occupy a particular position in the state, depending on the nobility and official position of the ancestors, their merits to the Grand Duke of Moscow. Fragmentation gradually gave way to centralization. The administration began to take shape.

The Boyar Duma consisted of 5-12 boyars and no more than 12 okolnichi (boyars and okolnichi - the two highest ranks in the state). The Boyar Duma had advisory functions on the "affairs of the land."

The future order system grew out of two nationwide departments: the Palace and the Treasury. The palace controlled the lands of the Grand Duke, the Treasury was in charge of finances, the state seal, and archives.

In 1497, a new set of laws of a single state was adopted - the Sudebnik of Ivan III. Sudebnik included 68 articles and reflected the strengthening of the role central government in the state structure and legal proceedings of the country. Article 57 limited the right of the peasant transition from one feudal lord to another for a certain period for the whole country: a week before and a week after the autumn St. George's Day (November 26). For leaving, the peasant had to pay "old" - a fee for the years lived in the old place. The restriction of the peasant transition was the first step towards the establishment of serfdom in the country. However, until the end of the XVI century. peasants retained the right to transfer from one landowner to another.

In general, unlike the advanced countries of Western Europe, the formation of a single state in Russia took place under the complete dominance of the traditional way of the Russian economy - on a feudal basis. This makes it possible to understand why a bourgeois, democratic, civil society began to take shape in Europe, and why Russia will be dominated for a long time: serfdom, estates, inequality of citizens before the law.

Thus, the process of unification of northeastern and northwestern Russia into one state was completed. The largest power in Europe was formed, which from the end of the 15th century. became known as Russia.

Questions for self-control:

1. What are the prerequisites for the unification of Russian lands. Compare the causes of the unification process in Russia and in the countries of Western Europe.

2. What caused the victory of Moscow in its rivalry with Tver for the great reign. Describe the activities of I. Kalita.

3. What was the significance of the victory on the Kulikovo field.

4. Expand the meaning of the expression "standing on the Ugra River." When did it take place?

5. What changes in the situation of the peasants reflected the Sudebnik of 1497

Teacher: In 1487, the German knight Nikolai Poppel spoke in Nuremberg about his discovery: during a trip to northeastern Europe, he discovered a strong, independent state- Muscovy. Emperor Frederick III and the princes of the Holy Roman Empire listened to him with astonishment. Merchants and geographers knew, of course, about the existence of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. A surprise was the information about the strength of the young state, about its independence, wrested from the Tatar Khan. The surprise was pleasant for the emperor, because the Polish Jagiellons pressed on the borders of the empire, and Muscovy, according to Poppel, was a long-standing enemy of Lithuania and Poland. The knight traveler was immediately sent back to Moscow, where he appeared at the beginning of 1489 as an imperial ambassador. Frederick III proposed marriage between Ivan's daughter and the imperial nephew, Margrave Albrecht of Baden, and to annex Moscow to the Holy Roman Empire by granting the Grand Duke a royal title. The ambassador was surprised that the offer was proudly rejected. Poppel was informed on behalf of the Grand Duke that the Moscow sovereigns, “appointed from God”, never asked for “appointment” from anyone, and now they don’t need it.

So, the process of completing the formation of the Russian state falls on the reign of Ivan III (1462-1505) and Vasily III. (1505-1533). Ivan III of Moscow, the Grand Duke, is one of the greatest figures in history. For his era, he was a fearless reformer, builder of a new system of state and public relations. He created a strong army, a single set of laws for the whole country, destroyed the yoke of the Golden Horde, made Russia a full participant in European politics. Ivan III stands at the origins of two key phenomena in Russian history: autocracy and serfdom. Yes, and the very name "Russia" our country received it then

Having won the struggle for the great reign in Russia, the Moscow princes continued their efforts to unite the lands around Moscow. The reign of Ivan III (1462-1505) accelerated this process. In 1463, pursuing a unifying policy, he annexed the Yaroslavl principality.

The principality of Tver and Novgorod Republic. To preserve their independence, the Novgorod boyars entered into an alliance with Lithuania and ended up under the partial rule of the Lithuanian prince Casimir IV.

In 1471, Ivan III led an army to Novgorod and won a victory in the battle on the Shelon River. For the complete conquest of Novgorod, a second campaign was also needed. In 1478, Ivan III finally conquers the city (having withstood the siege) and deprives it of its independence by abolishing the organs local government and liquidation of the symbols of independence (the Veche Novgorod bell was taken to Moscow). With the fall of Novgorod, all of its vast territories fell into the possession of Moscow.

In 1472 the Perm Territory was conquered. In 1474, the Rostov Principality was redeemed. In 1485, Ivan III, at the head of a large army, approached Tver and took the city without loss in two days, taking advantage of the betrayal of the Tver boyars. Grand Duke Mikhailo Borisovich fled to Lithuania.

Having annexed Tver, Ivan III created a single state and began to title himself the sovereign of all Russia.

In the middle of the 15th century Golden Horde broke up into several independent khanates. Ivan III began to behave towards them as an independent sovereign. He stopped paying the ransom and created an alliance with the enemy of the Golden Horde - the Crimean Khan.

The Golden Horde Khan Akhmat tried to restore his power over Russia. In 1480, having entered into an alliance with the Lithuanian Grand Duke and Polish king Casimir IV, he led his troops to Moscow.

It all ended with a confrontation between the Russians and Tatar troops on the river Ugra.

Without waiting for the allies, Akhmat did not dare to start the battle and in November 1480 he was forced to retreat. This meant the final fall of the Mongol-Tatar yoke, which had weighed over Russia for more than two centuries.

Ivan III sought to further expand the state. In 1487 Kazan recognized its dependence on Moscow. By the end of the 15th century the state includes territories in the northeast. Ivan III conquers a number of Belarusian and Ukrainian lands from Lithuania and Poland.

The unifying policy was continued by the son of Ivan III - Vasily III. In 1503, having destroyed the Pskov feudal republic, he annexed Pskov. In 1514 he recaptured Smolensk from Lithuania. In 1517-1523. Vasily III took Chernigov and the principality of Ryazan.

The process of formation of a single state consisted in significant internal socio-economic and political changes. This was expressed in the formation of a regime of a class-representative monarchy, in which the autocracy is supported by various classes, primarily the nobility, the townspeople and the top of the capital's boyars, who were interested in creating a state and having a strong central authority in it.


The years of the reign of Ivan III are characterized by changes in the authorities. The Boyar Duma becomes the supreme advisory body, institutions are created that are in charge of various areas public life, the first orders are issued, the governors are engaged in local administration and are supported by the territories they control.

In 1479, the “Sudebnik” of the Grand Duke Ivan III was published - a code of laws, the first code of the Russian state, which consolidated a unified system government controlled and regulated the activities of state bodies. The Sudebnik set a deadline for peasant transitions (once a year, on St. George's Day) and payment for the use of the yard. The law limited the freedom of the peasants and attached them to the land.

During the reign of Ivan III and Vasily III (1505-1533), the process of unification of Russian lands was completed, and the strengthening of Russian statehood continued.
