  • Kingdom of Livonia”
    Acta Historica Tallinnensia, 2009, 14, 31–61 doi: 10.3176/hist.2009.1.02 PRELUDE TO THE BIRTH OF THE “KINGDOM OF LIVONIA” Andres ADAMSON Institute of History, Tallinn University, 6 Rüütli St., 10130 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected] The article provides an overview of the international situation and the situation in Livonia prior to the emergence of the project of the vassal kingdom of Livonia, and the developments and motives that pushed Duke Magnus of Holstein to overt collaboration with Tsar Ivan the Terrible. It is shown that the creation of the vassal kingdom was predominantly determined by external circumstances, primarily by Muscovy’s hope to achieve a division of Poland-Lithuania between Russia and the Habsburgs, following a normalisation of relations with the Holy Roman Empire and the imperial court after the eclipse of the male line of the Jagiellon dynasty, without relinquishing its conquests and claims of domination in Livonia. The material is presented in the form of a narrative, in view of the failure of previous historiography to effectively focus on the timeline of the events under discussion, the relevant documents, and the general background. By the end of 1568, the Livonian War had come to a standstill. In fact, at that time the Baltic Sea region was a scene of not one but three closely intertwined wars. The Northern Seven Years’ War (1563–1570) between Sweden and the coalition of Denmark, Poland-Lithuania and Lübeck had been virtually brought to a halt by the complete exhaustion and economic bankruptcy of the principal adversaries – Denmark and Sweden.

  • Merchants of War: Mercenaries, Economy, and Society in the Late Sixteenth-Century Baltic
    Merchants of War: Mercenaries, Economy, and Society in the Late Sixteenth-Century Baltic by Joseph Thomas Chatto Sproule A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Joseph Thomas Chatto Sproule 2019 Merchants of War: Mercenaries, Economy, and Society in the Late Sixteenth-Century Baltic Joseph Thomas Chatto Sproule Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2019 Abstract The polities of the sixteenth-century Baltic competed and cooperated with one another and with local power groups in fluctuating patterns of rivalry and expedient partnership. Mercenarism thrived in this context, as early modern governments were seldom equipped with the fiscal and logistical tools or the domestic military resources needed to wholly meet the escalating challenges of warfare, while mercenaries themselves were drawn to a chaotic environment that afforded opportunities for monetary gain and promotion into the still- coalescing political elites of the region’s emerging powers. This study sits, like the mercenary himself, at the intersection of the military, the economic, the social, and the political. Broadly, it is an analysis of mercenaries in Livonian and Swedish service during the so-called Livonian War of 1558 to 1583. Mercenaries are examined as agents of the polities for whom they fought and as actors with goals of their own, ambiguously positioned figures whose outsider status and relative independence presented both opportunities and challenges as they navigated the shifting networks of conflict and allegiance that characterized their fractious world. The aims of this study are threefold. The military efficacy of Western and Central European professional soldiers is assessed in an Eastern ii European context, problematizing the notion of Western military superiority in a time of alleged military revolution.

    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 4 (2009 2) 538-548 ~ ~ ~ УДК 340 (09) (4|9) The History of Law and Judicial Proceeding of Pre-Petrine Russia in the Publications of Western European and American Historians (a review article) Irina P. Pavlova* Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University 90 Mira, Krasnoyarsk, 660049 Russia 1 Received 6.11.2009, received in revised form 13.11.2009, accepted 20.11.2009 In the article in the way of common analysis they observe the works of European and American historians-lawyers, dedicated to the Old Russian (pre-Petrine) law (over 60 works). The process of recognition of the Old Russian (Russian) law features had already begun by the Europeans-travelers, and then was continued by scientists-foreigners, who worked in Russia in XVIII-XIX centuries. Author comes to conclusion that the process of scientific mastering of the law and legal procedure history, begun in XX century, was developing steadily, but depended on current political and historical situation, translations and publications of the Russian law relics. Important role of the calling interest to the problem was played by Russian historians-emigrants. The historiography development was going at the line of researching basic specific categories, particular plots of the marking common problems out. To begin with 1980s researching of the Russian law became rather intensive. The articles of those problems was regularly printed in the main journals about questions of the east- European history, appeared monographs. The most actively are used the problems of the state history, anticriminal legislation, court organization, possessions development, serfdom. Author expresses wish that the article materials will help Russian researchers to learn and use the experience of the foreign colleagues more actively.

  • Legal Russian in Legal - Linguistic Research
    Comparative Legilinguistics vol. 32/2017 DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.14746/cl.2017.32.3 LEGAL RUSSIAN IN LEGAL - LINGUISTIC RESEARCH Marcus GALDIA International University of Monaco [email protected] Abstract: The article focuses upon the emergence and the development of the legal Russian language and the methodology used for its scrutiny in the legal-linguistic research in Russia and abroad. It shows some of the dominant tendencies in the legal-linguistic and related research in a perspective that combines material issues concerning the work on textual sources and their identification as well as methods developed in Russia to deal with legal- linguistic problems. The author aims to portray methodological continuity and discontinuity in a research area with a relatively long history. The overview of topics and methods demonstrates that the development in the area of the legal-linguistic research in Russia displays all characteristic features of the European legal-linguistic tradition, and especially the shift in the attention of scholars from isolated terminological issues to discursive aspects of law. Key words: legal Russian, legal terminology, comparative legal linguistics, legal discourse Marcus GALDIA: Legal Russian in Legal… Streszczenie: Artykuł traktuje o kształtowaniu i rozwoju języka rosyjskiego prawa oraz o metodologii stosowanej w studiach legilingwistycznych w Rosji i za granicą.

To symbolize their cause, an insignia displaying a dog’s head and broom were worn. The dog’s head was a representation of sniffing out traitors. In turn, the broom represented how the Oprichniki were dedicated to eliminating, or sweeping them away. These symbols represented the struggle for centralization in Ivan the Terrible’s sixteenth century Muscovy. During his time as Tsar, Ivan introduced reforms and imposed harsh judgments upon those he viewed as traitors. In 1565, key events in Ivan’s life, religion and the desire to build a stronger state would motivate him to aggressively push for centralization and introduce his Oprichnina which would last until 1572.

  • A ROMAN IMPRINT Tatiana Yugay SUMMARY
    Iura & Legal Systems - ISSN 2385-2445 2018 C(9): 93-103 LAND PROPERTY RIGHTS THROUGH CENTURIES: A ROMAN IMPRINT Tatiana Yugay SUMMARY: 1. - The Concept of Land Property in the Main Sources of Roman Law; 2. - The Byzantine Influence on Old Russian Law; 3. - Conclusion. 1. - The Concept of Land Property in the Main Sources of Roman Law a) Roman Heritage in the Field of Land Property According to Mcsweeney, the modern legal science owes to Roman lawmakers not only early methodological concepts but the very language of property, which underlies the way we talk about the relationship between people and things in both common law and civil law systems. Property, along with contract and tort, is one of the fundamental divisions of private law in the common law. He presumes, “The language of property actually comes out of a very specific cultural and historical context. It comes from Roman law and canon law, which together formed the medieval ius commune, or common law of Christendom. It was the ius commune, the ancestor of the civil law systems that dominates continental Europe today that gave English its words possession and property”1. Oestereich credits Romans with invention of real property as a result of their practical approach to measuring and documenting land possessions. “The ancient Romans, guided by their predominantly urban (i.e. literally petrified) perspective, on the one hand, and by their ability of and positive experience in keeping written records, on the other hand, started to make land holding a subject of systematic formalization and documentation”. It is worth mentioning that no distinction was made with respect to benefits (‘fruits’), access to them and the soil itself.

  • Russkaya Pravda and Prince Yaroslav's Statute on Church Courts
    Chapter 4 (Yaroslav N. Shchapov) Russkaya Pravda and Prince Yaroslav’s Statute on Church Courts The name of Yaroslav Vladimirovich, the Old Russian Grand Prince of Kiev and Novgorod in the eleventh century, whose memory we revere in connection with the celebration of the anniversary of the city of Ya- roslavl founded by him, is linked with a number of legislative initiatives that have reached us in different forms and traditions. The historical conditions that existed on the territory of Southern and Northern Rus in the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries did not favour the preservation of those princely orders, laws and statutes in the original and undamaged form. All the written texts containing them belong to much later peri- ods, the fourteenth, fifteenth and subsequent centuries and are usually presented by versions (redactions) and copies that included changes and innovations introduced by scribes-editors in order to adopt the ancient legislation to the needs of their time. But it does not diminish the signif- icant contribution of Prince Yaroslav, the Christian legislator and cod- ifier of law, into creation and consolidation of the Old Russian society and state of the eleventh century. The researchers — historians and 239 lawyers — in all probability manage to reconstruct not only the content of ancient monuments, but also their structure and even the text. One of the documents (or some of the documents) linked with the name of Prince Yaroslav is the “charter” of the Prince to which the peo- ple of Novgorod referred in order to substantiate their right to invite a prince to rule or to refuse the recognition of him as a prince.

Hoeller Introduction by Czeslaw Milosz Vladimir Solovyov is a great figure in the history of Russian religious thought elaborated by lay persons at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. His name is usually linked with those of thinkers belonging to the next generation: Nicholas Berdyayev (1874–1948), Lev Shestov (1866–1938), and Sergei Bulgakov (1871–1944) who became a priest. Solovyov was born in 1853, into the family of Sergei Mikhailovich Solovyov, professor at the University of Moscow and author of the monumental History of Russia from Most Ancient Times. His mother came from the Ukraine and was related to the philosopher Hrihoriy Skovoroda. Thus, he belonged to the elite of the intelligentsia. Very gifted, well read from childhood, Solovyov distinguished himself at University and, in 1874, submitted his first important philosophical work as his master's thesis: The Crisis of Western Philosophy: Against the Positivists.

  • Zakladatel Brněnské Literárněvědné Slavistiky Frank Wollman (1888-1969)
    Russian Literature and Its Historical Background Russian literature was developing in the country which was under ceaseless pressure of Eastern raiders. For centuries, Russia actually acted as a European barrier – the fact the Europeans were not always aware of, and, on the contrary, the fact made the Russians to believe in their messianic role and right to the world leadership. Face to face with the outer danger and due to internal arrangement, which was given by important historical events which were moving Russia away from the rest of Europe (the East-West Schism or the Mongol invasion), in Russia the individual was suppressed (Karel Havlíček Borovský mentions in his Pictures from Russia, 1843-1846, that the price of a Russian peasant, a serf, is much lower than the price paid for an English thoroughbred), while collectiveness and group spirit (sobornosť) is accented. In this historical context, literature had a number of further functions and partly substituted for the non-existing or weakly manifesting philosophy and science. Literature also served as a convenient tool to express political views: behind the curtain of a sentimental book of travels Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow (1790) by Alexander Radishchev a severe political attack on the autocratic system of government is hidden; also the literature of the Decembrists (members of illegal groups and later also the participants in the crushed uprising of the 14th of December [December = dyekabr, in Russian] – 1825). In the liberal atmosphere of the 1850s and the 1860s, literature was often seen as more or less direct reflection of political movements.1 The Russian Empire gradually started to present itself as a typical multinational and multicultural country with a changeable attitude of the majority ethnic group towards other nations and their freedom and also as a target country of a number of foreign families and individuals (under Peter I and also before the Germans, later on the Dutch and the English, after the revolution the French, and continuously also the Poles, etc.).
