Abstract
“The Political Development of Medieval Rus’: Historians’ Terminology and That of the Sources”, by Anton A. Gorskii, Moscow State University. The article argues that artificial terms (“tribes”/plemena, “principalities”/ kniazhestva and “appanages”/udely) long used by scholars misrepresent the nature of political developments in Medieval Rus’ and should be replaced by terminology from the sources that reflects the evolution of the territorial-political structure (the Byzantine Σκλαβηνία/ Σκλαβυνία/slavinii and the Old Russian zemli and volosti).
