2. The emergence of the first Russian cities

К IX-X centuries. East Slavic tribes occupied the western part of the Great Russian Plain, bounded by the Black Sea coast in the south, the Gulf of Finland and Lake Ladoga (Lake Nevo) in the north. Here, from north to south (along the Volkhov-Dnieper line), a great waterway passed, which was called “from the Varangians to the Greeks.” For several centuries it was the main core of the economic, political and cultural life of the Eastern Slavs.

The consequence of this was the emergence of the most ancient Russian cities - Kyiv, Chernigov, Smolensk, Lyubech, Novgorod the Great, Pskov, Vitebsk, Rostov.

These cities were able to subjugate the surrounding regions to their power, creating the first political form in Rus' - a city region, or volost. Such urban division did not have a tribal origin and did not coincide with it.

Before the settlement of the Slavs on the Russian Plain, their socio-political structure was patriarchal, or tribal. The elders had the supreme power.

В 879 BC Rurik's relative Oleg began to rule in Novgorod. Oleg, together with Igor and his squad, set off along the path "from the Varangians to the Greeks." He took the cities of Smolensk, Lyubich on the Dnieper and approached Kyiv. Oleg seized Kyiv by cunning, conquered the Slavic and Finnish tribes, and also freed the East Slavic tribes from the Khazars and became the founder of the great Kievan principality.

Having asserted his power in the Dnieper region, Oleg 907 BC regulated trade relations between Russia and Byzantium.

В 912 Igor led Russia. AT 944 BC made peace with the Greeks.

С 946 BC princess Olga more than 10 years ruled the state. AT 955 BC accepted the Christian faith. From that moment Christianity began to spread in Kyiv.

With coming to power Svyatoslav (son of Igor) undertook a number of successful campaigns to the East.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

In big cities, weekends are colder than weekdays. 30.01.2017

Scientists led by Nick Earle from the University of Melbourne (Australia) have shown, using the example of Melbourne, that the air temperature in the city is on average always higher on weekdays than on weekends. The reason for this is the heat generated by human bodies, cars, public transport and the operation of office buildings.

The study is based on an analysis of over 50 years of temperature data collected by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

According to researchers, the average morning temperature on Thursdays and Fridays is 0.3°C higher than on Sundays. Moreover, these are average values, on calm days the difference can be much greater.

“The temperature jump causes heavy movement of 250 thousand people to Melbourne on weekdays compared to weekends. Nothing in nature happens on a weekly cycle, so this phenomenon is most likely associated with human activity,” Nick Earl explained.

Earle and his colleagues showed that three other major cities in Australia - Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide - have similar weekly temperature cycles. Less populated cities like Hobart don't see anything like this, probably due to smaller populations.

But human activity changes not only air temperature - wind speed, precipitation and cloudiness can also be higher in large cities on weekdays. These are side effects of warming and high levels of air pollution.
