About “Russkaya Pravda”

The Russkaya Pravda was the legal code of Kievan Rus' and its principalities during the period of feudal fragmentation. It was first written at the beginning of the 12th century but was based on an earlier code known as the Pravda of Yaroslav, which was created at the start of the 11th century. The Russkaya Pravda served as the main source of law for Kievan Rus' and was revised and updated over many centuries. It reflected the legal traditions and social structure of the time, providing guidelines for justice and governance in the region. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
