The commanders of Holy Rus'. Michenkov S.

Vladimir Rus' existed for two centuries: from the second half of the XII century, from the reign of Andrei Bogolyubsky, to the second half of the XIV century, the era of Dmitry Donskoy. She was a historically united area with the common capital-Vladimir, who was a symbol of the unity of northeastern Rus'. At the beginning of the XIV century, she was in a desperate position. The ruined, crushed, depopulated under the oppression of the Horde, it seemed to never gain previous greatness. But it was she who became the core of the future Russia, the soil on which a single Russian state rose. She became a crucible, from which Holy Rus' came out of the flame of-the country of the monks, who enlightened the colossal spaces of the North, enlightening the faith of Christ. Finally, she retained the experience of the Byzantine autocracy, the state system of the True Empire.
