Eremyan, V.V. Evolution of the local self-government and the city-state-and-veche (popular assembly) forms of democracy at the time of the “Horde” rule (historiography of the issue). Part 2.

Abstract: The author of this article Professor V.V. Yeremyan does not seem to have a goal to study all the aspects and details of the Tartar and Mongol invasion. The author wonders what was the influence of the Tartar and Mongol elements of government on the evolution of Russian institutions of direct democracy, and whether it is reasonable to say that the “Asian wave” influenced the genesis of the Russian social relations much more than even the Varangian expansion which, as some scientists tend to think, was the basis for the Russian statehood.
