Teacher's story.
The government of the Slavs was not the same as we have now. In each family, the eldest was in charge of all affairs. For important matters, the elders met at the meeting and decided matters together. Only later did the princes begin to rule. There was no agreement between the Slavic tribes, but they had all quarrels; fights. Some tribes decided at the meeting to choose a prince not from their own. And from strangers, so that he does not indulge his relatives. For this, ambassadors were sent overseas. Three Varangian-Russian princes Rurik and his two brothers came to us and began to reign: Rurik himself settled in Novgorod, and he sent his brothers to other cities. So began in 862 Russian state. On behalf of the first princes, it was called Rus.

“The path to this country goes through the steppes and roadless lands through streams and dense forests. The country of the Slavs is flat and wooded ... "
(Ibn-Ruste, Arabic writer of the 19th century)
“The land here is covered with forests of various kinds ... The winter is so severe that for eight months there is an unbearable cold there. At this time, even pour water on the ground, there will be no dirt, unless you make a fire ... Such colds continue all the way for eight months, and the remaining four months are not warm ... In addition to many huge rivers, there is nothing more remarkable in this country ”
“Borisfen (as the Dnieper River was called in ancient times) is the most profitable river: beautiful rich pastures for cattle stretch along its banks; it contains the best fish in large quantities; the water is pleasant to drink, clear.
(Herodotus, ancient Greek historian)

3. Explanation of new material.
slide 1.
Today at the lesson we will go to Ancient Kyiv to visit Prince Vladimir. But first, let's talk about Ancient Russia.
The government of the Slavs was not the same as we have now. They did not have sovereigns, and in each family the eldest was in charge of all affairs. For important matters, the elders met for vecha (worldly gatherings) and decided matters together. Only later did the princes begin to rule. When they began to reign, who they were, and how the Russian state began, is not known for certain. The chronicle tells about it as follows. There was no agreement between the Slavic tribes, but they had all quarrels and fights. Some tribes, judging that no good could come from this, decided to choose a prince for themselves at the meeting, but not from their own, but from strangers, so that they would not indulge their relatives. For this, ambassadors were sent across the sea to the neighboring Varangian tribe Rus, and they were ordered to keep the following speech: “Our land is great and plentiful, but there is no order in it, come to reign and rule over us.” Three Varangian-Russian princes Rurik and his two brothers came to us and began to reign: Rurik himself settled in Novgorod, and he sent his brothers to other cities. This is how the Russian state began in 862 after the birth of Christ. On behalf of the family of the first princes, it was called Rus.

2. Working with a historical map (pt. No. 1 p. 15).
Consider the map on page 41 of the textbook. What do you need to know to read it? (Conventional signs)
What color on the map shows the territory of Ancient Russia at the end of the 9th century? (Light green). Color this area contour map in the workbook.
What color on the map shows the territory of Ancient Russia in the middle of the XI century? (Green). Color this area on the outline map in your workbook.
Compare territories. Why do you think the territory has increased? (Princes conquered lands).
Find the Dnieper River. What cities can you visit while traveling on it? (Pereyaslavl, Kyiv, Chernigov, Smolensk, Novgorod.)
The main roads connecting the inhabitants were rivers and seas. Boats and rafts of settlers to new lands, as well as merchant caravans, sailed along them. It was along the Dnieper River that the most important trade route "from the Varangians to the Greeks" passed. Mark it with a red line on the contour map.
By the middle of the XI century, Russia occupied the space from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. It was impossible to manage such a vast land without strict order. The head of Russia was the Grand Duke of Kyiv, his advisers and assistants were the boyars, and the support and support was the faithful and devoted princely squad. The princes strengthened Russia, maintained order within the country, and took care of its security.
Slide 3.
Great are the merits before Russia of Prince Vladimir. Epics sing of him, call him the Red Sun. Vladimir Svyatoslavovich younger son Prince Svyatoslav took the throne of Kyiv after the murder of his brother Yaropolk. Prince Vladimir was a skilled warrior and a wise ruler. He turned Russia into a huge power, which was spoken of with respect in Europe. The entire period of his reign can be divided into two stages: pagan and Christian. The reign of Vladimir is considered the period of the rise of Russia.
slide 4.
What do you think are the reasons for religious reform?
Prince Vladimir sought to unite Slavic tribes and protect Russian lands from nomads. So he decided to carry out a religious reform. Her motto was the words "One god in heaven, one prince - on earth."
What is reform? (work with a dictionary)
REFORM- transformations, changes aimed at improvement.
Slide 5.
At first, Vladimir decided to hold pagan reform and proclaimed the supreme god of Perun. The rest of the gods were preserved, but "subjected" to Perun. However, this reform failed. The Slavs did not understand why Perun suddenly became the main god, and therefore they continued to worship other gods, and each tribe still revered its own god.
slide 6.
Vladimir began to look for another religion. According to legend, he invited ambassadors from the Volga Bulgaria (Islam), Khazaria (Judaism) and Byzantium (Orthodoxy), and they told him about their faith. Then the prince's ambassadors were sent to these countries, and only after listening to their report, Vladimir chose Christianity, because this religion was widespread in most European countries. Prince Vladimir decided that if Russia also became Christian, it would be much more convenient for her to negotiate with neighboring countries. The prince himself was baptized during his trip to Korsun.
Slide 7.
In 988 Vladimir baptized Russia. The first were the people of Kiev. Byzantine priests arrived in Kyiv. On the appointed day, the inhabitants of the city were driven into the Dnieper, the monks sprinkled them with holy water and read a prayer. Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavovich from a high hill watched what was happening. Those who did not want to part with the former gods, on his orders, were driven into the Dnieper by force. Following Kyiv, Vladimir the Red Sun introduced Christianity to other Russian cities. In Novgorod, the baptism almost ended in an uprising. The Novgorod governor forcibly forced the inhabitants to be baptized, burning the houses and estates of all the dissatisfied. In Kyiv, the main street in memory of baptism is still called Khreshchatyk.
slide 8.
Of course, the Russians did not immediately become firmly established in the new faith. For a long time they were Christians only in name and still celebrated pagan rites and festivals. Even at the present time, pagan customs, for example, caroling, have not completely emerged. However, the adoption of Christianity has played a huge role in our history. Faith in God the Savior made people more honest, more tolerant, taught them to respect state power, to help the poor and unfortunate. In Russia, the power of the prince was strengthened, writing spread, there were more educated people, culture developed. The Old Russian state ceased to be considered pagan and became one of the European Christian countries.
slide 9.
Prince Vladimir himself, having accepted the new faith, as the chronicler tells, completely changed: from a harsh and cruel man he became kind and affectionate to everyone, and generous to the poor. Fearing sin, he did not even want to execute the robbers. On Sundays and other Christian holidays, the prince arranged feasts at which Russian boyars, spiritual people of all ranks, converged from all over the land. The prince ordered the sick to deliver bread, meat, and honey to their homes. For the introduction of Christianity, Vladimir is called by the Church of Saints and Equal-to-the-Apostles.

Slide 9
Byzantium was a powerful neighbor of Russia. They either fought with it, or reconciled with it. The Russian prince Oleg moved a huge fleet of 2000 ships to Byzantium. To block the path of the fleet, the Byzantines blocked the entrance to the harbor with a huge chain.
Slide 10
Then Oleg, according to legend, put his boats on wheels and, waiting for a fair wind, sailed to the walls of the city. Under the cover of ships, Russian soldiers were able to freely approach the city. And to intimidate the Greeks, the Rus during their attack released into the sky big number kites.

III. Working on new material.
Teacher. The government of the Slavs was not the same as we have now. They did not have sovereigns, and in each family, the oldest was in charge of all affairs. For important matters, the elders met for vecha (worldly gatherings) and decided matters together.
Alien warriors came to the land of the Slavs, burned houses and carried away the property of the inhabitants. And the Slavs themselves all quarreled among themselves. There was no one to sort out their quarrels, reconcile them and take care that no one offended them.
Then one old and smart elder named Gostomysl called many old people to him before his death and began to say to them: “Look for yourself such a person who would sort out your quarrels, reconcile you and punish the disobedient. Such a person will also take care that foreign nations do not offend you!”
The Slavs listened to smart advice. They sent ambassadors across the seas to another distant country, where a people called Varangians lived. The ambassadors came across the sea to the Varangian people and said to noble people, whom the Varangians called princes, these words: “Our land is great and rich, but there is no order in it: come rule us!”
Three Varangian-Russian princes Rurik and his two brothers came to us and began to reign: Rurik himself settled in Novgorod, and he sent his brothers to other cities. So the Russian state was born in 862 after the Nativity of Christ. On behalf of the family of the first princes, it was called Rus.
The teacher introduces the family tree of the first Russian princes:
Teacher. The word "prince" comes from the Slavic "horse" - an equestrian warrior. The Slavs called their leaders princes. In peacetime, the princes ruled the life of the Slavic tribes, and when enemies came, they became military leaders.
The teacher offers to consider the map "Ancient Russia" on p. 41 textbooks.

Teacher. Who was the head of Russia? Which Russian prince was especially famous for his military exploits?
Students. The head of Russia was Grand Duke Kyiv, and his advisers and assistants - the boyars. The Russian prince Oleg became famous for his military exploits.
Teacher. Rurik died in 879. His successor Oleg, together with Rurik's son Igor and the Varangian squad, decided to move the center of their state to Kyiv. Having killed the princes Askold and Dir in Kyiv, Oleg seized the entire trade route "from the Varangians to the Greeks" and began to reign in Kyiv. This happened in 832, which marked the beginning of the formation of the Old Russian state - Kievan Rus.

The students do the exercises after the teacher.
Teacher. One of the first Russian princes was Vladimir Svyatoslavovich. It is the custom of the Russian people to give their rulers nicknames. Vladimir Svyatoslavovich was nicknamed the Red Sun. Prince Vladimir was a skilled warrior and a wise ruler. He turned Russia into a huge power, which was spoken of with respect in Europe.
Many interesting epics have been composed about the reign of Vladimir Svyatoslavovich. It was in his squad that the famous Russian heroes Ilya Muromets, Nikita Kozhemyaka, Dobrynya Nikitich and Alyosha Popovich were.
Who were called heroes? What do all heroes have in common?
Students. The bogatyr is a steadfast, strong, courageous person. All heroes performed military feats.
Teacher. Prince Vladimir went down in history as the baptizer of Russia. Our ancestors were then pagans, they believed in many gods of the ancient Slavs. Name them.
Students. The god of lightning and thunder - Perun, the god of the wind - Stribog, the god of the sun - Khors, etc.
Teacher. If some kind of misfortune happened, the crop died, the house burned, if luck fell out, then again by the grace of the gods. To appease the angry god, they made sacrifices to him, hung idols with various gifts, slaughtered some animal and burned it. The fire, the pagans thought, would give the burnt to God, and he, having had his fill of food, would become more merciful to the sacrificers. On important occasions they were worn to the slaughter of living people.
Once, under Prince Vladimir, the lot for sacrifice fell on one Christian boy, but his father did not want to give him away, saying: “I will not give my son to your gods, they are not gods, but a tree, they stand today, and tomorrow they will rot. God is one, the one who created heaven and earth, stars, sun, moon and man, and what did your gods do? They themselves are made. If they are really gods, then let them come for my son.” The pagans got angry and killed the Christian along with his son.
But little by little, the Christian faith began to spread throughout Russia. Often, converging for trade with Christian peoples (Greeks, Bulgarians who lived on the Danube), Russians became more and more acquainted with their faith and many were baptized. Among the first to receive holy baptism was Princess Olga, who for this was called Blessed and Holy. She persuaded her son to be baptized, but he did not agree. Olga's grandson, Prince Vladimir, at first also diligently served the pagan gods, set up many idols, and made sacrifices to them. But soon he took thought, he finally realized that the pagan faith was not true, that the idols to which he and his people pray and make sacrifices are not gods at all. Therefore, Vladimir decided to change his faith. For information on how the baptism of Russia went, read the article “Prince Vladimir and the baptism of Russia” on p. 43–45 of the textbook.
