Abstract

The aim of this article is to point out the characteristics of the Russian mediaeval towns in the Kievan period (9.-13 centuries) by examining recent studies by Soviet historians. The problems with which the author of this article deals, are as follows : 1)Historical development of the meaning of the Russian word gorod (town). 2)Genesis of the Russian mediaeval towns. 3)Historical development of the Kievan towns, considering the shifting relationships between the towns and the princes. 4)Administrative organs of the Kievan towns. As a result of this examination the author has come to appreciate the great contributions to the subject made by M.N.Tichomirov and other Soviet scholars. On the other hand the author does not share with them in their assertion that the historical development and character of Russian mediaeval towns and society were essentially of the same nature as those of western Europe.
