Descripción:

The Novgorod Republic (Russian: Новгородская республика, romanized: Novgorodskaya respublika, pronounced [nəvgɐˈrotskəjə rʲɪsˈpublʲɪkə]; Old East Slavic: Новгородскаѧ землѧ, romanized: Novgorodskaę zemlę, lit. 'Novgorodian Land'; Latin: Novogardia or Russian: Новгородская Русь, romanized: Novgorodskaya Rus', lit. 'Novgorodian Rus'') was a medieval East Slavic state from the 12th to 15th centuries, stretching from the Gulf of Finland in the west to the northern Ural Mountains in the east, including the city of Novgorod and the Lake Ladoga regions of modern Russia. Citizens referred to their city-state as "His Majesty (or Sovereign) Lord Novgorod the Great" (Gosudar Gospodin Veliky Novgorod), or more often as "Lord Novgorod the Great" (Gospodin Veliky Novgorod). The Republic prospered as the easternmost port of the Hanseatic League and its Slavic, Baltic and Finnic people were much influenced by the culture of the Viking-Varangians and Byzantine people.
