Pskov Republic (Псковская Республика) (jan 1, 1348 – jan 1, 1510)

Description:

Pskov (Latin: Plescoviae), known at various times as the Principality of Pskov (Russian: Псковское княжество, Pskovskoye knyazhestvo) or the Pskov Republic (Russian: Псковская Республика, Pskovskaya Respublika), was a medieval state on the south shore of Lake Pskov. Originally a principality and then a part of the Novgorod Republic, in 1348 Pskov became an independent republic. Its territory was roughly equivalent to the modern Pskov Oblast of Russia. The capital city, also named Pskov, was located at the southern end of the Peipus–Pskov Lake system at the southeast corner of Ugandi, about 150 miles (240 km) southwest of Nevanlinna, and 100 miles (160 km) west-southwest of Great Novgorod.
