feudal fragmentation in Russia, the causes of which are hidden in the economic and political development of the early feudal society existed until the end of the 15th century.The formation of large estates in the background prevalence of subsistence farming in the Old Russian state inevitably helped the transition estates into independent production facilities.However, their economic ties were limited to nearby districts.Craft and trade needs that existed at the time, could be easily satisfied in a rapidly developing political and economic center - the city.At the same time it increased the number of cities and adds the population at the expense of the productive forces.Developed and those populations that have not had a significant economic impact.
feudal fragmentation in Russia was formed under the conditions of the inevitable social conflicts between the lower strata and the top of feudal society.Formed in this class of landowners sought to establish various forms of addiction (both legal and economic) of the agricultural population.However occurred class antagonisms (disputes) in the 11-13 centuries, we had the character, mostly local, and to resolve conflicts is usually enough intervention of local authorities, without the involvement of state forces.
feudal fragmentation in Russia took place in the conditions necessary in the social and economic independence-patrimonial boyars (big landowners) from the central government.At the same nobles were against the need to share with the Grand Duke of their income.In addition, they supported the rulers in some principalities in their struggle for political and economic independence.
feudal fragmentation in Russia was inevitable fact.In this process, there was a further development of the culture and economy of the state as a whole.We should talk about establishing a more robust system of relations between the nascent feudal lords.
Undoubtedly, the disintegration of the former common state and had some negative consequences.Chief among these historians call the weakening of the protection of land in the country from external attack, especially in the conditions, the probability of occurrence of a sufficiently strong invader.
feudal fragmentation in Russia apparently is the actual section of the country has increased significantly among members of the princely family.
It should be noted that certain signs of disintegration began to emerge after the death in 1054 of Yaroslav the Wise.System isolate principalities emerged from the struggle between his descendants, who enjoyed the support of the local boyars.
for a short period during the reign of Vladimir Monomakh, the elevation happened in Kiev.He again became an all-Russian center.In this period it was suppressed separatist sentiments of the local rulers, defeated the external enemy - the Polovtsy.
country again fell into decline with the death of Monomakh.At the same time it begins and feudal fragmentation in Russia.Causes and consequences of the period for the whole country have historical significance.
After the death of the son of Monomakh, Mstislav the Great, the site of one state was formed about fifteen separate areas.Among them Polotsk, Chernigov, Galician, Novgorod, Rostov-Suzdal, Smolensk and others.At the same time within each of them continued the process of fragmentation of the political and economic isolation.Thus, each part of a large state becomes, in turn, in small semi-independent principalities.
