Eremyan, V.V. Correlation of “monarchy” and “democratic” elements in the medieval system of government through the prism of the homage character of the relations between Russia and the Horde.

Abstract: This article by V.V. Eremyan is devoted to the specific features of relations between the Russia and the Horde through the prism of the homage relations. Should the Russian Princes (the monarchy of the Pre-Mongol period) be considered rulers, even taking into account the homage relations, or should they be seen as mere owners of land without due legislative, executive and judicial power?
