The culture of ancient Rus' in the pre-Mongol period. Presentation on the topic: Culture before Mongolian Rus' Architecture of Ancient Rus'

"Architecture Ancient Rus'. Pre-Mongol Rus'"– a presentation that will tell about the most significant monuments architecture of pre-Mongol Rus'. Having adopted Christianity at the end of the 10th century, the Kiev prince Vladimir also accepted Byzantine culture, which crossed with the pagan customs and artistic traditions of the Slavs, but, being stronger, overshadowed them at first.

Architecture of Ancient Rus'. Pre-Mongol Rus'

“We do not know whether we were in heaven or on earth, for there is no such view and such beauty on earth, and we do not know how to tell about it; We only know that God dwells with people there, and their worship is better than in all other countries. We cannot forget that beauty,”

the envoys told Prince Vladimir about their visit St. Sophia Cathedral Constantinople.

“We took the gospel and tradition from Byzantium”
A.S. Pushkin

Having adopted Christianity at the end of the 10th century, the Kiev prince Vladimir accepted and which crossed with the pagan customs and artistic traditions of the Slavs, but, as the stronger one, at first overshadowed them.

With the adoption of Christianity, the cross-domed type of temple was borrowed as a model, the rectangular interior of which was divided into longitudinal parts - naves - by rows of supporting pillars; four supporting pillars were connected at the top by girth arches that supported a light drum through sails, ending in a hemispherical dome.

Four semi-cylindrical vaults face the domed square in the center of the temple, forming a cruciform structure in plan; hence the name of the system – cross-dome.

The eastern part of the building had an extension for the altar in the form of 1-3-5 semicircles - apses.

The transverse space in the western part of the temple was called the narthex. In the same western part, on the second tier, there are choirs, where the prince and his entourage were located during the service.

In the external decoration of the temple, vertical division of the facade into spindles with blades was used.

The most common masonry technique in temple construction is Kievan Rus was the so-called mixed one - the walls were erected from thin plinth bricks and stone on pink lime mortar - tsemyanka. On the façade there was a row of brick alternating with a row of cement, and that’s why it seemed striped, which in itself was a decorative solution for the exterior.

"Oh, light-colored and ornately decorated
Russian land!

Tithe Church

Immediately after the adoption of Christianity in Kyiv, the Church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary was built, the so-called Tithe Church (989-996) - the first stone temple of Kievan Rus known to us. The Tithe Church (the prince allocated a tenth of his income for its maintenance - hence the name) was destroyed during the Mongol-Tatar invasion.

The Tithe Church was richly “decorated”: this is evidenced by fragments of frescoes and mosaics, floor slabs, fragments of columns, pieces of carved capitals discovered by archaeologists in the square where the Tithe Church stood. It was a large 25-domed six-pillar church, surrounded on both sides by lowered galleries, which gave a pyramidal appearance to the entire temple.

The Church of the Tithes stood on the main square of the city. The princely palace, mansions of the squad and the city nobility were also located here. The princely tower and the main shrines of the city - the cathedrals - stood high above the Dnieper, “on the mountain”.

At the foot of the hill, “on the hem,” lived merchants, artisans, and the urban poor. Kyiv at the turn of the 10th-11th centuries was a well-fortified city; the wall on a powerful earthen rampart was wooden, but the gates were stone.

In 1031-1036 In Chernigov, Greek craftsmen erected the Transfiguration Cathedral. This very “Byzantine” temple of Kievan Rus has survived to this day almost entirely.

Sofia Kyiv

In 1037, Yaroslav the Wise founded the stone St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv, five-apse, 13-domed. The construction of the cathedral is associated with the final victory of the army of Prince Yaroslav over the Pechenegs.

Just like the Tithe Church and the Transfiguration Cathedral, Sofia has a pronounced pyramidal composition. Pyramidality and mass accumulation are features alien to Byzantine architecture.

Stepped pyramidality, as well as multi-domed architecture, was a primordially national feature of Russian architecture. The greatest decorativeness of the facades was provided by the picturesque structure of the masonry with a hidden row and stripes of untreated stone.

The interior of Sophia of Kyiv was unusually rich and picturesque: the well-lit altar spaces and the central domed space were decorated with mosaics.

The pillars of the naves, the darker side rooms under the choir, the walls are painted with frescoes. The floors were also mosaic and slate. Slate - construction material. Initially - small slabs made of clayey shale. Untreated shale was also called slate.

The Mother of God in the conch of the apse of Kyiv Sophia, standing with raised hands - the canonical type of Oranta (praying) - was perceived by the people of Kiev as the image of the defender of the city, the personification of the “mother of Russian cities” herself. She was nicknamed the “Unbreakable Wall”. According to legend, as long as the Kiev Oranta is intact, Kyiv will stand.

“Where Sofia is, there is Novgorod”

The five-domed Novgorod St. Sophia Cathedral (1045-1050), although built in the image and likeness of the Kyiv Cathedral, was still significantly different from the latter.

The Novgorod temple was made of stones held together with lime mortar, subsequently whitewashed with plaster, which, in combination with golden domes, gave it great picturesqueness. Heroic strength is felt in Novgorod Sofia. No wonder the cathedral was revered by the Novgorodians, who said: “Where Sophia is, here is Novgorod.”

Sofia Polotskaya

In 1066, the third Sophia was built in Polotsk, the masonry technique of which was similar to that of Kyiv. The main volume of the temple was strictly centric, its internal space was divided into five naves by cross pillars. The temple belonged to a complex version of the cross-dome system. The council ended with seven chapters.

St. George's Cathedral of the Yuryev Monastery

In 1119, Prince Vsevolod Mstislavich built a stone cathedral in the ancient Yuryev Monastery.

St. George's Cathedral, like the Novgorod Sophia, amazes with its majesty and massiveness. It dominates the vast expanses of water at the river approach to the city.

The overwhelming majority of the names of ancient Russian architects are unknown to us. But the name of the creator of St. George's Cathedral was preserved on the pages of the late Novgorod chronicle - he was “Master Peter”.

St. George's Cathedral culminates the monumental princely construction in Novgorod of the 12th century.

During the Kyiv era, the foundations of the Russian architectural tradition were laid and the features of future construction schools of various ancient Russian principalities of the era of feudal fragmentation were outlined.

I invite you to look at mine. There is a route dedicated to architecture of pre-Mongol Rus'. Thorough a story about the birth and structure of an ancient Russian temple An inquisitive reader of my site will find Arzamas on the site.

Under the influence of what factors was the distinctive culture of Rus' formed? What were the cultural features of the Old Russian state? What was the influence of Christianity on ancient Russian culture? What events do the epics tell about? Who are their heroes? Why do you think Old Russian state were there many literate people?

Slide 6

In one of the chronicles in 1132, when after the death of the great Kyiv prince Mstislav, all the principalities of Rus' left obedience to Kyiv, it is written - “And the whole Russian land was torn apart.” A period called feudal fragmentation began.

Slide 7

The state of fragmentation of Rus', when each principality-state in its own Everyday life could rely, first of all, on its own capabilities and strengths, and had a decisive influence on the culture and art of each region. What happens at this time? Cities - economic and administrative centers of agricultural districts - are growing and strengthening, social stratification is increasing,

Slide 8

A number of local centers of culture are growing, art schools are emerging - Novgorod, Vladimir-Suzdal, Galician-Volyn, Ryazan, schools of Polotsk and Smolensk. Old Russian art in a number of political and cultural centers, where painting, architecture, and applied art developed independently, still had common features of that united but fading Kievan Rus. In other words, the unity of artistic culture was preserved. After all, he had a common past... After the collapse of the Kievan state and before the Mongol-Tatar invasion, literature continued to follow the directions that had been established under Yaroslav and his descendants - chronicles, lives, and teachings were written.

Slide 9

Military vehicles were created that were used in the siege and defense of fortresses - “vices”. Rus' also had its own doctors - “healers”, who were under the jurisdiction of the spiritual authorities. Sewing, weaving, and embroidery developed.

Rus' of pre-Mongol times, culture of the 13th -15th centuries. - the time of formation of the Russian centralized state, the culture of the 16th and the culture of the 17th centuries. Russian culture until the end of the 17th century. usually characterized as medieval. With Peter's reforms, a new Russian culture was established. Its main feature was a secular, rationalistic type of culture. How separate periods of development of a new culture are considered: the culture of the first quarter of the 18th century, the middle - second half of the XVIII century, first half of the 19th century, second half of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th century.



The culture of Kievan Rus inherited the culture of the East Slavic tribes that formed the core of the state. She experienced the undoubted influence of nomadic peoples and Byzantium. Traditions of Byzantium - one of the most developed countries the world of that time - fertilized the folk culture of Rus', based on the pagan worldview. They were reworked and refracted on Russian soil.


In the second half of the XII - early XIII century. Russian culture began to experience a certain influence of the Western European Romanesque tradition. The Mongol-Tatar conquest dramatically changed the nature of contacts and the direction of cultural ties of Rus'. In the culture of pre-Mongol Rus', three periods can be distinguished: the culture of the Eastern Slavs, the culture of Kievan Rus, the culture of Russian lands and principalities of the period of fragmentation.



Features of the development of Russian culture in the 9th-17th centuries. It's time for dominance medieval culture. Firstly, it is characterized by a general slowness of the pace of development. Productive forces are slowly improving, subsistence farming dominates, preserving the existing level of social relations.


Secondly, a characteristic feature of the culture of this time is traditionalism. The farming people, observing the changing seasons of the day and year, the life of an individual, saw their repetition, movement in a vicious circle. Centuries of experience have been the most reliable guarantor against disasters. Hence the authority of antiquity, of what has been repeated many times; following patterns


Third, distinctive feature medieval culture is dominant in ideology religious worldview. Secular rationalistic (from the Latin “ration” reason) ideas are present only in embryo; they are most noticeable in cities and in folk, everyday culture.


Fourthly, this period is characterized by the accumulation of knowledge, but many facts and phenomena have not yet received a scientific explanation. Despite certain differences in the development of Rus' in comparison with Western European countries, Russian culture was formed and developed in the general mainstream of European culture. This is explained by the homogeneity socially - economic development Rus' and European countries, similarity of social structure. Finally, Christian eternal values ​​that determined the type of culture were also common.


Unfortunately, many cultural monuments have not reached us. A significant part of them died in fires, invasions, and wars. For example, when the Mongols besieged Moscow in 1382, its residents took books to the Kremlin Cathedral. The chronicler wrote: there were so many books that they supported the arches of the building. When Tokhtamysh broke into the Kremlin by deception, these untold book treasures were burned. Books perished in subsequent centuries. The only copy of “Tales of Igor’s Campaign” perished in the fire of 1812. A large number of cultural monuments were destroyed by the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War. Many cultural monuments also perished as a result of the actions of the authorities, who destroyed them for “ideological” reasons.

Writing Cyrillic is one of the two (along with Glagolitic) first Slavic alphabet. (The word “alphabet” comes from the name of the first two letters of the Cyrillic alphabet: “az” and “buki”). The Cyrillic alphabet was created at the end of the 9th century on the basis of the Greek statutory letter by the Slavic enlighteners Cyril and Methodius. Introduced in Rus' in connection with the baptism of Grand Duke Vladimir Svyatoslavich the Saint (988), the Cyrillic alphabet formed the basis of the Russian alphabet.

Birch bark letters Birch bark letters are Russian letters and documents of the 11th-13th centuries, scratched on birch bark (birch bark). In the 20th century, ancient birch bark letters were found in Smolensk, Pskov, Vitebsk, Staraya Rus, Tver, but most of them were discovered during excavations in Novgorod, since the land here is conducive to long-term preservation of wood.

Handwritten books Handwritten books were made up of separate, hand-written sheets, which were sewn into notebooks and bound. Such manuscripts were attached to wooden boards called bindings. The outside of the boards was covered with leather or fabric and placed in precious frames. The material for Russian handwritten books until the 14th century was parchment, and then paper. Russian scribes used ink made from soot (“smoked”) and from a decoction of oak or alder bark. To dry the ink, fine quartz sand was used, which was sprinkled on the finished sheet. Words in a handwritten line were not separated, and paragraphs were highlighted with an initial - a letter written in vermilion. The type of handwriting of a Russian scribe with a clear, almost square outline of each letter was called ustav. With the advent of paper, the writing process was simplified, and the statutory letter was replaced by a rounded letter with an inclined outline of the letters - semi-character, and cursive writing appeared for business papers.

Enlightenment Under Yaroslav the Wise, the Cathedrals of Hagia Sophia were built in Kyiv and Novgorod. The Kiev Pechersky Monastery was founded near Kyiv. His monks wrote chronicles and rewrote books. Yaroslav Vladimirovich himself knew how to read and forced others to learn. In Novgorod and Kyiv, by his decree, about 300 children were selected and sent to “learn from books.” The library of Slavic and Greek books collected by Yaroslav was kept in the Hagia Sophia. Yaroslav is also known as the first Russian legislator. During his reign, a set of laws was issued, which went down in history under the name “Russian Truth”.
