⭕️History Of Russia - Rurik to Revolution
💢Part 8: Cossacks now lived on the open steppe, a lawless region between three warring states. They were skilled horsemen who lived freely and were often recruited by Russia and Poland to fight as mercenaries. Ivan The Terrible's own son, Tsarevich, fell victim to one of his father's violant rages - bludgeoned to death with the royal sceptre. The Cossack adventurer, Yermak Timofeyevich, lead the Russian conquest of Siberia, defeating Tatars and subjugating indigenous tribes. In the north, Archangelsk was founded, for the time being Russia's only sea-port linking it to western Europe, though it was icebound in winter. Ivan The Terrible was succeeded by his son, Feodor I, who died childless. It was the end of the Rurikid dynasty.

⭕️History Of Russia - Rurik to Revolution
💢Part 10: But then, Russia fought back. Prince Pozharsky and a merchant, Kuzma Minin led the Russian militia to Moscow, and threw out the Polish garrison. Since 2005, this event has been commemorated every 4th of November, as Russian National Unity Day. The Russian assembly, the Zemsky Sobor realised the country had to unite behind a new ruler and elected a 16 year old noble, Mikhail Romonov as the next Tsar. His dynasty would rule Russia for the next 300 years. Tsar Mikhail (I) exchanged territory for peace, winning Russia much-needed breathing-space. His son Tsar Alexei (I), implemented a new legal code, the "Sobornoya Ulozheniye". It turned all Russian peasents, 80% of the population, into serfs - effectively slaves - their status inherited by their children, and with no freedom to travel or choose their master.
