The role of the Russian Statein the formation of the urban community: historical and legal analysis
The article considers the role of the Russian state in the formation of Russian society. Russia, despite its peculiarities, followed the European path of development, and the Russian “national type” adapted well to the borrowed European social institutions. The author deeply examines the life of cities and their role in the development of the Russian state, provides materials describing the size of the urban population, its occupations, types of urban crafts. Russian society’s socio-economic situation remains the least studied issue in the history of the ancient Russian city, and therefore the author’s task is to fill in the gap in this direction.
