Presentation on history on the topic: “Galician-Volyn Principality” Completed by: Student of class 10a Koshelev Dmitry

Geographical location of the Galicia-Volyn principality. Favorable geographical location (remoteness from Kyiv weakened the influence of the central government, natural conditions made these lands difficult to access for steppe nomads, in addition, the Galicia-Volyn principality was located at the intersection of strategically important trade routes). The Galician-Volyn principality, distinguished by very favorable natural and climatic conditions , wealth, population and beauty of cities (Galich, Vladimir-Volynsky, Kholm, Berestye (Brest), Lvov, Przemysl, etc.), crossed by the most important trade routes of pan-European importance, turned out to be very tempting for invaders. First, the Mongol-Tatars, then the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (Volyn) and Poland (Galich) deprived these lands of independence.

Foundation of the Galicia-Volyn principality. The unification of Galicia and Volyn was accomplished by the Volyn prince Roman Mstislavich, the son of Mstislav Izyaslavich. Taking advantage of the unrest in Galicia, he first occupied it in 1188, but could not hold it under the pressure of the Hungarians, who also invaded Galician land at the request of local boyars. For the second time, Roman annexed Galicia to Volyn in 1199, after the death of the last Galician prince Vladimir Yaroslavich from the Rostislavich family. He harshly suppressed the local boyar opposition, which resisted his attempts to centralize government, and thereby laid the foundation for the creation of a unified Galicia-Volyn principality, centered in the city of Galich.

Social conflicts The process of formation of large land holdings and the formation of a class of feudal lords was accompanied by increased feudal dependence of peasants and the emergence of feudal rent. Labor rent in the 11th - 12th centuries. gradually replaced by product rent. The amount of feudal duties was set by the feudal lords at their own discretion. The brutal exploitation of peasants intensified the class struggle, which often took the form of popular uprisings against the feudal lords.

The forms of struggle of the boyars against unwanted princes are also characteristic. They invited Hungarians and Poles against them, put to death unwanted princes, and removed them from Galicia. The Galician-Volyn princes had certain administrative, military, judicial and legislative powers. In particular, they appointed officials in cities and towns, allocating them with land holdings under the condition of service, and were formally the commanders-in-chief of all armed forces. But each boyar had his own military militia, and since the Galician boyars’ regiments often outnumbered the prince’s, in case of disagreement, the boyars could argue with the prince using military force. The supreme judicial power of the princes in case of disagreement with the boyars passed to the boyar elite. The boyars owned large estates and dependent peasants. In sources of the 12th century. the ancestors of the Galician boyars act as “princely men.” The strength of this boyars, who expanded the boundaries of their possessions and conducted large-scale trade, continuously increased. There was a constant struggle within the boyars for lands and power.

Management system The head and highest representative of power in the principality was the prince. He united in his hands the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government, and also had a monopoly on the right to conduct diplomatic relations. Trying to become an absolute “autocrat,” the prince was constantly in conflict with the boyars, who sought to maintain their independence and turn the monarch into their own political instrument. The judicial power was combined with the administrative power. The highest court was held by the prince, and below - by the tivuns. The basic law remained the provisions of “Russian Pravda”. The city court was often based on German law.

Economic development The economy of the Galicia-Volyn principality was natural. Its basis is agriculture. The main crops are oats, wheat and barley. Livestock breeding, horse breeding, sheep breeding and pig breeding were developed. Important components of the economy were trades - beekeeping, hunting and fishing.

Among the crafts, blacksmithing, leatherworking, pottery, weapons and jewelry were famous. Woodworking and construction have achieved particular development. One of the leading industries was salt making. The Galician-Volyn principality, together with the Crimea, supplied salt to the entire Kievan Rus, as well as to Western Europe. The favorable location of the principality - on black soil lands - especially near the Sana, Dniester, and Vistula rivers made it possible for the active development of agriculture. Therefore, Galich was also one of the leaders in bread exports.

Trade in the Galician-Volyn lands was not developed properly. Most of the manufactured products were used internally. The lack of access to the sea and large rivers prevented the conduct of widespread international trade, and, naturally, the replenishment of the treasury. The main trade routes were overland. Trade took place in the cities of the Galicia-Volyn principality, of which there were more than eighty by the end of the 13th century. The state treasury was replenished through tribute, taxes, extortions from the population, wars and confiscation of properties from unwanted boyars. Russian hryvnias, Czech groschen and Hungarian dinars were used in the territory of the principality.

Cultural achievements The main cultural centers of the principality were large cities and Orthodox monasteries, which at the same time played the role of the main educational centers of the country. Volyn played a leading role in the cultural life of the country. The city of Vladimir itself, the main city of the Volyn principality, was an ancient citadel of the Rurikovichs. The Galician-Volyn Chronicle was also written in Galich and the Galician Gospel was created. The largest and most famous monasteries in the principality were Poloninsky, Bogorodichny and Spassky.

Little is known about the architecture of the principality. Written sources describe mainly churches, without mentioning the secular houses of princes or boyars. Galician-Volynian icons were especially valued in Western Europe. The art of icon painting of the Galician-Volyn lands had common features with the Moscow icon painting school of the 14th-15th centuries. The development of culture in the Galician-Volyn principality contributed to the consolidation of the historical traditions of Kievan Rus; for many centuries they were preserved in architecture, fine arts, literature, chronicles and historical works.

The Gaa Litsk-Volyan principality is a southwestern ancient Russian principality of the Rurik dynasty, created as a result of the unification of the Volyn and Galician principalities by Roman Mstislavich. From the second half of the 13th century it became a kingdom. The Galicia-Volyn principality was one of the largest principalities during the period of feudal fragmentation of Rus'. It included the Galician, Przemysl, Zvenigorod, Terebovlyan, Volyn, Lutsk, Belz, Polissya and Kholm lands, as well as the territories of modern Podlasie, Podolia, Transcarpathia and Bessarabia.

Slide 4

POLAND The Principality pursued an active foreign policy in Eastern and Central Europe. His main enemies were the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Hungary and the Cumans, and from the mid-13th century also the Golden Horde and the Principality of Lithuania. To protect itself from aggressive neighbors, the Galician-Volyn principality repeatedly signed agreements with Catholic Rome, the Holy Roman Empire and the Teutonic Order.

Slide 5

The Galician-Volyn principality fell into decline due to a number of reasons. The main internal factor in the beginning of the decline of the principality was that with the death of Andrei and Lev Yuryevich, as well as Vladimir Lvovich in 1323, the ruling Rurikovich (Romanovich) dynasty in the principality was interrupted;

Slide 6

This led to the fact that the power of the boyars in the state increased significantly, and Boleslav Troydenovich, who sat on the Galician-Volyn table in 1325, was already much more dependent on the boyar aristocracy than his predecessors, the Rurikovichs. Also, a major role in the fall of the Galician-Volyn state was played by the foreign policy situation that developed in the middle of the 14th century: at a time when the neighboring Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania were on the rise, Volyn and Galicia still remained in vassal dependence on the Golden Horde.

Slide 7

In 1349, the Polish king Casimir III captured Galicia, after which the Galician-Volyn principality lost its territorial unity. In 1392, Galicia and Volyn were divided between Poland and Lithuania, which put an end to the existence of the Galician-Volyn principality as a single political entity.

Slide 8

Borders The Galician-Volyn principality was created at the end of the 12th century, through the unification of the Galician and Volyn principalities. His lands extended in the basins of the Sana, Upper Dniester and Western Bug rivers. The principality bordered in the east with the Russian Turovo-Pinsk and Kyiv principalities, in the south - with Berlady, and eventually the Golden Horde, in the southwest - with the Kingdom of Hungary, in the west - with the Kingdom of Poland, and in the north - with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Teutonic Order and Polotsk principality.

Slide 9

The Carpathian Mountains in the northwest served as the natural border of the Galician-Volyn principality, separating it from Hungary. In the 20s of the 14th century, this border was moved further south due to the annexation of some part of Transcarpathia by the Galician princes. The western border with Poland passed along the rivers Jaselka, Wisłok, San, and also 25-30 km west of the Vepr River. Despite the temporary capture of Nadsan by the Poles and the annexation of Lublin by the Russians, this part of the border was quite stable.

Slide 10

The population of the Sources, from which it is possible to accurately calculate the population of the Galicia-Volyn principality, has not been preserved. In the Galicia-Volyn Chronicle there is mention that the princes conducted censuses and compiled lists of villages and cities under their control, but these documents have not reached us or are incomplete. It is known that the Galician-Volyn princes often resettled residents from conquered lands to their territories, which resulted in population growth. It is also known that the inhabitants of the Ukrainian steppes fled to the principality from the Mongol-Tatars, where they settled.

Slide 11

Based on historical documents and topographic names, it can be established that at least a third of the settlements of Volyn and Galicia arose no later than the emergence of the Galician-Volyn principality, and their inhabitants were mainly Russian Slavs. In addition to them, there were a few settlements founded by Poles, Prussians, Yatvingians, Lithuanians, as well as Tatars and representatives of other nomadic peoples. In the cities there were craft-merchant colonies in which Germans lived, [

Slide 12

Formation of a single principality The unification of Galicia and Volyn was accomplished by the Volyn prince Roman Mstislavich, the son of Mstislav Izyaslavich. Taking advantage of the unrest in Galicia, he first occupied it in 1188, but could not hold it under the pressure of the Hungarians, who also invaded Galician land at the request of local boyars. For the second time, Roman annexed Galicia to Volyn in 1199, after the death of the last Galician prince Vladimir Yaroslavich from the Rostislavich family. He harshly suppressed the local boyar opposition, which resisted his attempts to centralize government, and thereby laid the foundation for the creation of a unified Galician-Volyn principality.

Slide 13

At the same time, Roman intervened in the struggle for Kyiv, which he received in 1204, and took the title of Grand Duke of Kyiv. In 1202 and 1204, he made several successful campaigns against the Cumans, which gained popularity among the common population. A contemporary Galician chronicler called him “the Grand Duke,” “the autocrat of all Rus'” and “the king in the Russian land.” He died at the Battle of Zawichost in 1205 during his Polish campaign.

Slide 14

Civil strife Due to the unexpected death of Roman, a power vacuum arose in the Principality of Galicia-Volyn. Galicia and Volhynia were gripped by a series of ongoing civil strife and foreign interventions. The Volyn petty princes became independent, and the Galician boyars refused to recognize the power of the young Romanovichs - Daniil and Vasilko. Under the guise of protecting the sons of the late Roman, neighbors Poland and Hungary intervened in the affairs of the principality.

Slide 15

The first to begin the struggle for power in the principality were Vladimir Igorevich, Svyatoslav Igorevich and Roman Igorevich, the sons of the Novgorod-Seversk prince Igor Svyatoslavich, sung in “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign.” They reigned in Galicia from 1206 to 1212, but were defeated due to a conflict with the boyar elite. As a result of this, in 1213, the princely throne in Galich was usurped by the boyar Vladislav Kormilich, the leader of the pro-Hungarian group of Galician nobility. After his expulsion in 1214, Andras II, king of Hungary, and Leszek the White, prince of Krakow, took advantage of the weakness of the Galician lands, invaded them and divided them among themselves. Soon the Hungarians quarreled with the Poles and took possession of all of Galicia.

Slide 16

The war against foreign invaders was led by Mstislav Udatny, a native of the petty Kyiv princes, who had previously reigned in Novgorod. With the help of the Polovtsians, he defeated the Hungarian troops in the general battle of Galich in 1221 and, having liberated the Principality of Galicia, began to rule in it. To strengthen his power, Mstislav entered into an alliance with the young princes and married his daughter to Daniel. However, the princes soon quarreled, after which Mstislav, at the direction of the boyars, bequeathed to the son of the Hungarian king Andras II Andrei

Slide 17

Polish Kingdom of Russia Vladimir Galicia Volyn Principality of Hungary Meanwhile, after the death of Roman, Volyn broke up into small appanage principalities, and its western lands were captured by Polish troops. The legal rulers of the Galicia-Volyn principality, the young Daniil and Vasilko Romanovich, retained only minor territories of the principality. 1. in 1215 they decided to retake Vladimir, 2. in 1219 - they made the first successful campaign against Poland. Golden

Slide 18

In 1227, Daniel and his brother: 1. freed themselves from the Polish protectorate due to the death of the Polish king, 2. defeated the appanage Volyn princes, 3. by 1230 they united Volyn in their hands. Thus, Daniil and Vasilko regained half of the lands that belonged to their father. For the next eight years they fought a war for Galicia, which was occupied by the Hungarians. In 1238, Daniel occupied Galich, expelled foreigners and recreated the Galician-Volyn principality.

Slide 19

The reign of Daniil Romanovich Having united the fragmented possessions of his father Roman, the Vasilko brothers Vladimir Daniil and Vasilko peacefully distributed power.   Daniel sat in Galich, Vasilko in Vladimir. The leadership in this Galich Daniil duumvirate belonged to Daniil, since he was the eldest son of Roman Mstislavich.

Slide 20

Before the Mongol invasion of Rus', the Galician-Volyn principality managed to expand its borders: 1. In 1238, Daniil Romanovich returned the northwestern lands of Beresteyshchyna and occupied the city of Dorogochin in the north, which had previously been in the hands of the Dobzhin Order of the Crusaders, 2. also in 1239 he annexed the Turovo-Pinsk and Kiev principalities in the east to his lands, along with the capital of Kievan Rus - Kiev.

Slide 21

With the arrival of the Mongols, the positions of the Galician-Volyn princes were shaken. 1. In 1240, the Horde took Kyiv, 2. in 1241, they invaded Galicia and Dorgochin, the Turov-Pinsk principality of Vasilko of Kiev, Vladimir Volyn, where they plundered and burned many cities, including Galich and Vladimir. Since the princely power was unable to resist the Mongols, the boyar elite opposed it. Its neighbors took advantage of the weakness of the principality and tried to capture Galich. In response, the Galicians captured Polish Lublin in 1244, and in 1245 the Galician principality of Daniil the Golden Golden Horde The Horde defeated the Hungarians, Poles and rebellious boyars in the battle of Yaroslav. The boyar opposition was completely destroyed, and Daniil was able to centralize the administration of the principality.

Slide 22

Daniil, not finding allies, himself fought against the Mongols, repelling an attack on Lutsk by the Lithuanians, whom the pope already in 1255 allowed to fight the Russian land. The first war (1254-1257) against the troops of Kuremsa was victorious, but in 1258 the Mongol troops were led by Burundai, who in the next two years, together with Vasilko Romanovich, carried out military campaigns against Lithuania and Poland, and also forced the fortifications of several Volyn cities to be razed. In 1264, Daniel died without liberating the Galicia-Volyn principality from the Horde yoke.

Slide 23

Economy The economy of the Galicia-Volyn principality was mainly subsistence. It was based on agriculture, which was based on self-sufficient land - courtyards. These economic units had their own arable land, hayfields, meadows, forests, places for fishing and hunting. The main agricultural crops were mainly oats and wheat, less wheat and barley. In addition, livestock breeding was developed, especially horse breeding, as well as sheep and pig breeding. Important components of the economy were trades - beekeeping, hunting and fishing.

Slide 24

Occupations of the inhabitants of the principality: Among the crafts, blacksmithing, leatherworking, pottery, weapons and jewelry were known. The Principality was located in the forest and forest-steppe zones, which were densely covered with forest, and woodworking and construction reached special development. One of the leading industries was salt making. The Galician-Volyn principality, together with the Crimea, supplied salt to the entire Kievan Rus, as well as to Western Europe. The favorable location of the principality - on black soil lands - especially near the rivers Sana, Dniester, Vistula, etc., made it possible for the active development of agriculture.

Slide 25

Trade in the Galician-Volyn lands was not developed properly. Most of the manufactured products were used internally. The lack of access to the sea and large rivers prevented the conduct of widespread international trade, and, naturally, the replenishment of the treasury. The main trade routes were overland. In the east they connected Galich and Vladimir with the Kyiv and Polotsk principalities and the Golden Horde, in the south and west - with Byzantium, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and the Holy Roman Empire, in the north - with Lithuania and the Teutonic Order. The Galician-Volyn principality exported mainly salt, furs, wax and weapons to these countries. Import goods included Kyiv artistic jewelry, Lithuanian furs, Western European sheep wool, cloth, weapons, glass, marble, gold and silver, as well as Byzantine and oriental wines, silks and spices.

Slide 26

Trade took place in the cities of the Galicia-Volyn principality, of which there were more than eighty by the end of the 13th century. The largest of them were Galich, Kholm, Lvov, Vladimir (Volynsky), Zvenigorod, Dorogochin, Terebovlya, Belz, Przemysl, Lutsk and Berestya. Princes encouraged international trade by reducing taxes on merchants along trade routes and town squares. The state treasury was replenished through tribute, taxes, extortions from the population, wars and confiscation of properties from unwanted boyars. Russian hryvnias, Czech groschen and Hungarian dinars were used on the territory of the principality.

Slide 27

Administration The head and highest representative of power in the principality was the prince. He united in his hands: 1. legislative, 2. executive, 3. judicial branches of government, 4. and also had a monopoly on the right to conduct diplomatic relations. Trying to become an absolute “autocrat,” the prince was constantly in conflict with the boyars, who sought to maintain their independence and turn the monarch into their own political instrument.

Slide 28

The strengthening of princely power was also hampered by the duumvirates of princes, the fragmentation of principalities and the intervention of neighboring states. Although the monarch had the right to make decisions on his own, he sometimes convened boyar “dumas” to resolve the most important issues and problems. These meetings acquired a permanent character from the 14th century, finally blocking the “autocracy” of the prince, which was one of the reasons for the decline of the Galicia-Volyn principality.[
