Scenarios about 'novgorod'
The medieval Russian republic of Novgorod was a powerful merchant state that flourished from the 12th to 15th centuries, known for its democratic veche assembly system and extensive trade networks. As one of the few Russian principalities to escape Mongol domination, Novgorod represents an alternative political model to Moscow's autocracy before its eventual annexation by Ivan III in 1478.
