RUSSIA DEFINED LOCATIONS

What population did Belarus live in before the Slavs appeared here?
Eastern Slavs in which tribal troops were divided in the 8th - 9th centuries?
When did the former Russian state appear?

Slav-Balt interaction. Slavs gradually settled on the territory of Belarus. They cleaned the soil for bread cultivation and built their settlements one after another. Thus Slavs colonized the territory of Belarus. However, this region was previously led by the Baltic tribes.
The Slavs' relations with the Baltic in the territory of Belarus were initially peaceful. The Baltic tribes were small and there were very few Slavs. Therefore, there was enough space for everyone. Slavs mixed with local people.
At the end of VII - at the beginning of the VIII century. A new wave of Slavic immigrants entered the region of Belarus. The military conflicts of the Slavs with the Baltic became more widespread during this period. At the fire of fires, the castles of the Balts died.
The settlement of the territory of Belarus by the Slavs lasted more than a century. The former residents had to leave their homes. The rest of them slowly united with the Slavs. This was facilitated by the fact that Slavs, like the Balts, were pagans. The close was their lifestyle and language.
However, the Slavs were at a higher level of social development. The tribal leaders had a strong army.
Mongol conquests later destroyed Russia's political unity. As a result, three different countries emerged from the Old Russian nationality: Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians.

However, there are other versions in the science of history. Thus, even under Soviet rule, a group of St. Petersburg scientists developed the theory that Old Russia was not only a single power, but also the Petersburg unified, states of the sovereign city-states (resembling older Greeks). This theory is still a matter of debate - but more importantly, the scientific debate is not political.

Called from the name of the city or river and Krivichi-Polotsk.
Perhaps Krivichi's name comes from the name of the elders of the genus Kriv, or from the word "blood", that is, relatives of the blood. There are other assumptions.
XII. Population of the Polotsk Principality even in the 20th century. In the year called Kriviches. Krivichy had long been the ancestors' neighbors of the Latvians. For this reason, the Latvians have so far called Russian a name similar to the word "Krivichi" - "Krevz".
One of the most important features of this interesting Krivichy was the burial of the dead in the long victims. People called them volotovki. Allegedly, there was a myth that they were buried as bir voloty ül - high growth heroes. In fact, under the mounds, the mounds can be buried up to 20 people. Apparently, close relatives are buried in a long mound. In these pagan times, the Eastern Slavs burned their dead.
Oddly, the women were decorated with krivichanok. They wear ring-shaped bracelets in the head of the temple. Bracelet-shaped temporal rings are found only in Polotsk and in the territory of Smolensk Krivichy.

The Dregovich. Over time, all other Eastern Slavic tribal alliance in the south of Belarus was occupied by Dregovichi. First they put him in a swamp in the middle of Pripyat. From here and their name (inden Drygva va - a swamp). There is another assumption about the origin of the name Dregovichi in the name of the drag or Dregovit.
Then dregovichi headed north to the west. It occupied the Svisloch River basin and reached the Berezina River. But initially it was Krivichy's territory. The capital of Belarus was founded - Minsk.
Part of Dregovichi settled in the Brest region. Volynians moved here from the south. The Eastern Slavic union of the Volynians was very close to the Dregovich.
Turov was the oldest city of Dregovichi. The Turovskaya lands had close ties with the Middle Dnieper and the Kiev Polyana, who lived there, lived and lived there with Dregovichi and Volhynians, who were once a tribe. However, it was later divided.
There were also Slav scholars who rejected the scientific concept of the old Russian nation. Basically, they are Americans of American origin and Ukrainian descent - that is, descendants of immigrants. For understandable reasons, their attitudes towards the old homeland and, in particular, the old Russian history were often politicized prejudiced and strongly. They proved the “eternal eper existence of a separate Ukrainian people, artificially aged their age and“ settled ğ on the shores of the Dnieper long before the establishment of the Old Russian state.

Second, we will not divide the legacy of Old Russia. It belongs to us. Just like Belarusians and Ukrainians. And Kiev is the mother of Russian cities. So it is written annually, but you can't cross words from it. Our problem is not, if inherited from one of the heirs of Russia, the inheritance seems unnecessary, not necessary. We need. We will continue including our history.

Third, our mixed ancestors decided everything for us until 988, jointly accepting common baptisms in the East ritual. We can discuss who we were before, but after that - we are already in Christian civilization. This tem
