Strudeler’s Civilizations: Novgorod

Play as the great knight and prince of Rus’, Alexander Nevsky; in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.

Novgorod was one of the great Russian cities that rose to prominence after the southern Rus’ had fallen to Mongols. Novgorod developed a particular Russian dialect during the medieval era, one that became extinct under Muscovy and Russia. Novgorod was also a noble republic that elected a Rurikid prince from a neighbouring Russian Principality whenever the need arose. Novgorod was a very effective republic as it balanced city powers with warlike boyars and a powerful clergy. Novgorod was very effective at protecting Russians and Finno-Ugric peoples (that were not yet Christian) from the Germanic crusaders of the Baltic. Alexander Nevsky is among the most beloved of medieval knights and Russian saints, he led Novgorod against the Baltic crusaders while also submitting to Mongol or Tartar tribute demands.
