A Brief History of Medieval Russia __ This text dates from 1913 but is still very well done and amazingly accurate. "Glancing at the map from north to south, it will be seen that Russia embraces more degrees of latitude than any other European state, stretching with one arm into the very regions of the Arctic; with the other, into the deserts of central Asia; and changing, by degrees, from the frozen bogs and marshes of the north, through the wooded district of the center, to the steppes of the south. Yet, despite its great size, this territory, in the early history of Christendom, was practically isolated from the rest of Europe." - From Sam Houston State University - http://www.shsu.edu/~his_ncp/MorRus.html

The Rise of the Grand Princes of Moscow (1303-1462) __ You will find a detailed history of this period in Russian history. "WHILST Western Russia grouped herself around the Lithuanian State, which had given the conquered Russian provinces a new capital in Wilna, and soon involved them in her own union with Poland, Eastern Russia grouped herself around Moscow. When this double concentration on the Moskowa and on the Wilna should be accomplished, Great Russia, proud of her national and religious unity, and Lithuanian Russia (or rather a foreign State composed of the Russian, Lithuanian, and Polish races, and of three religions, the Greek, Roman, and Protestant, besides the Jewish), would find themselves face to face. The contest Of these two sister-enemies will fill many centuries of the history of the North. To Other sovereigns, in other centuries, will fall the task of reconstituting the Russian unity in its fullest extent. The honor of the princes of Moscow is to have created the living germ which became Great Russia." - by Alfred Rambaud (1900) - http://www.shsu.edu/~his_ncp/RamMos01.html

Russian Medieval Medicine __ "Medicine was largely in the hands of folk healers until the 11th century. These were known by a variety of names and according to some authorities they doubled as pagan cult leaders...A distinct secular medical tradition seems to have developed in Kievan Rus' by the mid-11th century, but little is known about it...When Christianity was introduced in 988, both folk and secular medicine began to give way to monastic medicine - at least in theory (because all of the written records were written by monks?)."
