Novgorod Republic
Sign in to saveAlso known as Great Novgorod
historical country of the 12th–15th centuries in modern-day Russia
The Novgorod Republic was an independent city-state that flourished in northwestern Russia between the 12th and 15th centuries, governed by merchants and nobles rather than a single ruler. It matters as an important example of medieval democratic governance and as a major trading power that connected Eastern Europe with Western markets before being absorbed into the larger Russian state.
