I'll tell you today about the Russian Truth. Book: Russian Truth or the Laws of the Grand Dukes Yaroslav Vladimirovich and Vladimir Vsevolodovich Monomakh: With the application of these ancient dialects and syllables to those used today, and with an explanation of words and names that have come out of use / Published by lovers of Russian history. - [Moscow]: Mosk. Synod. type., 1799.

Yes, yes, the very first and most basic law of Russian Truth is the custom of blood feud. Well, or pay with money.

An outcast is the inhabitants of the Outcast region in the Pskov land. Well, then the Russian is probably a resident of Staraya Russa.

And the Truth was only through reprisals.

Further in the comments it is deciphered why the word "husband" was translated as boyar. And what estates were in Ancient Russia.

Actually, it should be so. The prince is not a title, but only a hired manager, elected and called upon by the Council of the Whole Earth by men and ludins.

And this is another clarification about revenge.

Those. not only the boyar men had the right to blood feud, but also all other citizens of the free society of ancient Russia. Zemsky bosses or Zemstvo are local self-government. Moreover, it is especially emphasized that this was not a purely Russian custom, but also a common European one.

Initially, there was the same punishment for the murder of a husband and a ludin, But then, as is always the case with people, some of the equals became more equal than others. What do not do to a person, but he stubbornly crawls into the cemetery, Vagankovskoye. And again this is a common European practice. We are not like that, Europe is like that.

Initially, there was still the death penalty. But then a moratorium was imposed on her.

There have always been collectors and bailiffs. By the way, then it turns out that the murderer in Russia was the name of the executioner or just an employee of the sphere of execution of punishment.

That is why there was a custom of blood vengeance, so that a rich man would not leave justice and pay off.

And this is a mutual guarantee. Well, how else to look for a murderer if his fellow villagers will cover him? Again, they will have an incentive to remember everyone they saw near the place of the fight.

In fact, there is nothing unusual or out of the ordinary in such laws. Well, people then did not have enough money to maintain the police, courts and the system of execution of punishment. In Europe, in general, the feudal lord was both. Echoes of all this have survived in the Jewish faith. And this is also why the world did not like the Jews so much. Well, and you are aflame with a tender passion for Caucasians or carriers of a different, archaic mentality? So our ancestors do not.

And of course you all have heard about the mountain traditions of blood feud. It's just that people mentally lingered on the primitive communal system. From which we are slowly pulling them out. But it is possible, by their example, to understand what customs our ancestors had. All peoples go through such periods in their development. Some are faster, some longer. The development of production forces allows for the presence of police and courts and prisons, and with this the mentality changes. Being determines consciousness.

I also wanted to mention something else. The same Jews or mountaineers do not have princes and nobility in principle. Kadyrov, in fact, is the first Chechen prince. All the others in front of him were just field commanders who were summoned like princes in our country. Therefore, in Ancient Russia, the word "husband" was called almost everyone. This is already in the 18th century, when this book was printed, the word was translated as boyar. And initially it was just any man. Those. all were equal. And the princes too. Boyarin, by the way, it was just the prince's vigilante, initially. And this was only later, the warriors were reborn into nobles and began to receive privileges and estates for this, namely for military service and not for some kind of title and rank.

In general, we initially had democracy in Russia, as evidenced by Pravda Russkaya.
