Baltic Slavs

The Baltic Slavs occupied a rather vast territory, spreading along the southern coast of the Baltic Sea and further, between the Elbe and the Vistula. Among the Baltic Slavs, there was a decomposition of primitive communal relations and a gradual formation of the state took place.

The Baltic Slavs were distinguished by their numbers and strength. There are two most notable in this regard - Lutichi (Velety), Pomeranians и Bodrichi. Them main activities were agriculture, cattle breeding and sea fishing. At the same time, trade developed in the coastal tribes. The political structure of the Baltic Slavs was not the same for different tribes. In Pomorye, earlier than in other regions of this country, the dominance of the property nobility is established. The veche meetings of the city people become an instrument of the ruling aristocracy. Strong princely power wins among the Bodrichs, a territorial division of the population is carried out, taxation is strengthened, and princely administration is spreading. And here and there an early feudal state arises. Lutici stayed longer than others at the pre-state stage of development. Beginning with X in. Princely power disappears from them, management of affairs is concentrated in the hands of the people's assembly and elders. All these tribes, which together are called Lutich, are not ruled by one separate ruler. Discussing their needs at the meeting, they unanimously decide what needs to be done, and those who contradict the decision are beaten with sticks.

The remnants of the primitive communal system are the tribes ruled by the people's assembly, the prince and the elders, as well as such forms of territorial formations as clans and zhups. At the same time, it should be noted that the Slavic village lives in a community very similar to the Germanic community, there is almost no slavery of prisoners of war, and they prefer to sell slaves abroad or to noble households, where they work in the field and at court.

The German chroniclers, who visited Pomorie, were surprised to ascertain the customs of the Slavs, which had long disappeared in the rest of Europe. They note the "honesty and camaraderie" of the Slavs, their absence of theft and deceit. There were no locks, no "key". It should be noted that each father of the family of the Baltic Slavs has a separate hut intended for receiving guests, and if someone would like to eat, a guest or household members, they go to the table, on which everything is already laid. Such features of the life of the Baltic Slavs greatly surprised the wanderers who visited them, missionaries who arrived from distant places.

The bulk of the people are free people - smardy. They see their duties and their rights in participating in a people's assembly (veche), going to war, and avenging a blood offense. At meetings they are armed. Above smarda is worth noble person - a prince, an elder, a princely combatant, and in the cities of Pomorye - a merchant who got rich in trade, a landowner and an elder at the same time. Below smarda - semi-free "ten", a victim of "feed" (as debt bondage was called in Slavic Pomorie), a slave. Both of these groups, close in their legal status, formed the core of the dependent population.

The history of the Baltic Slavs ends in the 1160th century In XNUMX the Saxon duke Leo, taking advantage of the struggle between the Slavic tribes and having prepared allies for himself among the Slavic nobility, eager to establish feudal orders, begins the conquest of the Bodrichi. Following that, other areas were captured, including Pomorie. Together with the conquest, the physical extermination of the Slavs and the colonization of their lands by German settlers began.

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 ... >>

Analog Devices Blackfin Digital Signal Processor 16.06.2005

An Analog Devices Blackfin digital signal processor was incorporated into the Yamaha Corp. audio-video center.

This center is a new category of products that provides playback, storage and distribution of digital music, video and photos in any room of the house. The center can display multi-channel, multi-zone output from a variety of sources, including set-top boxes, DVDs, mobile audio players, internal hard drive, mobile storage devices, and Ethernet.

Yamaha Corp. chose this processor because this processor equally easily processes both audio and video and photo images.
