term "rope" to date has clearly can be called historicism, but it should not be a reason to not to get acquainted with its origin and meaning, because it is directly related to the history and development of Russia.
Determination
Historians and scholars say that this word was designated an ancient community that existed in the territory of Russia and Croatia.Etymology is based on the ancient custom of celebrating people they owned land with a rope.This type of community is mentioned in the "Russian Truth" - an important document of Kievan Rus as well as in the Croatian Politskom Statute, which is an ancient monument legislation a small area in Croatia (on the Dalmatian coast).
Evolution
Some scientists believe that the original rope was extremely consanguineous organization, and later under the influence of various socio-economic factors into a company that was established already, rather, on the principle of proximity, that is,belonging to her people united solely closest place of residence.
Especially actively defend their views scientists who are ardent supporters of the territorial community.One of the main reasons - the fact that such a group can be called a lot more progressive, and historians are unwilling to accept the fact that other nations were more developed than those in Russia.Since the rope - an association of different social strata of people, over time it has undergone various changes.
Etymology
Linguists also took up the study of the origin of the word in order to provide reliable data about the history of the concept.It turned out that it was not by chance the name of the community is consonant with the word "rope".
This may indicate that such associations have been built on the principle of co-residence since ancient Slavs and other people were in the habit of measuring their possessions using strings of a certain length, therefore, it is possible that it is hence the term "rope".The definition of "rope" is preserved in the documents of the Astrakhan province of the XIX century.Then it was a measure equal to 1850 square fathoms.The process of measuring the land said: "The vervovat" and "Verov."
"Russian Truth" and Politsky Statute
As noted above, in various areas of the evolution of this community took place in different ways.Although it accepted that the rope - an organization based on ties of kinship, eventually changed the principle of association.The "Russian Pravda" said that the rural community was not based on blood ties, and Politskom statute stated that there is only a sign of the weakening of this, but some of its elements remain.
"Russian Truth" describes the social system, is much more developed than the one mentioned in the statute Politskom.But this discrepancy is easily explained.Some of the "Russian Truth" tell about society VIII-XII centuries, while Politsky Statute describes the structure of XV-XVII centuries.
Mutual responsibility
The "Russian Pravda" said that rope - a union of rural people living in a large area.Despite the fact that the members of the community are not related by blood, between them there is mutual responsibility, which requires each member to look for the thief, and to answer for the murder of the law.There are other features that had to carry rope.They are determined by the authorities.
Any kind of community promoted the development of the social structure of ancient society.Of course, this may be said about the rope.It was a union of people, which is difficult to speak clearly.What is clear is that the rope was another link in the development of Russian history and favorably influence it.
