The dialectical-materialist theory proceeds from the fact that society must be considered in constant development, and the source of this development is the internal contradictions of society itself or the social phenomenon under consideration.

Principles are the main, fundamental provisions of science. A method is a way of studying patterns through their specific manifestations.

Basic principles of historical science:

a) objectivity, b) historicism, c) comprehensiveness.

Specify what is the content of each of these principles in relation to the study of history.

The main methods used in the study of history:

a) chronological, b) problematic, c) retrospective, d) system-structural. Other methods are also used, and usually several methods are combined with each other (for example, problem-chronological). Formulate the main features of each of the main methods.

Approaches to the study of history.

When studying society, the whole variety of social relations is usually grouped into four blocks: a) the economy, b) the social sphere, c) politics, d) the spiritual sphere. Today, two approaches to the study of history prevail: a) formational, b) civilizational.

Formation is a historical type of society based on a certain mode of production and acting as a stage in the development of the world history of human society. Considering societies with this approach, the researcher seeks, first of all, to identify the similarities of society with other societies that have passed or are at the same stage of formational development. This allows us to apply the historical experience of other societies to solving the problems of our own society.

Civilization is usually divided into world and local. World civilization acts as all mankind taken together, developing in a single progressive movement as something whole. A local civilization is a region of the planet at the national or state level, which differs significantly from other regions in the direction of its development. With a civilizational approach, the search for the uniqueness of each society, its differences from other social systems, comes first. This allows you to identify the leading trends and principles of development of the studied society, which cannot be ignored, using the experience of other civilizations in solving their internal problems.

Science has not yet developed a unified idea of ​​civilization. Therefore, in different scientific and educational publications, one can find different interpretations of the essence and terminology of the civilizational approach.

Each local civilization goes through several stages in its development:

1) the challenge of nature - a period when society is forced to realize the radically changed situation in which it exists, and to begin, for its own survival, the search for new solutions that are radically different from the usual stereotypes of the former social life in all spheres of society;

2) birth - the period when an ethnos is formed, the boundaries of the territory of its habitat are determined, the state is formed and the ideology of this society is developed;

3) growth (or flourishing) - a period when typical features of economic life, social structure, political system and spiritual culture are formed, which distinguish this society from others, determine its identity.

4) break - the period when society begins to experience internal upheavals, which are the result of an increase in the contradiction between the traditional features of the social order and the changing objective conditions in which this society exists.

5) sunset - a period of destruction of the traditional forms of existence of a given society, a change in its value system. The internal contradictions of society are supplemented by seriously complicated external factors. As a result, society must either restructure itself in accordance with the changed conditions, i.e. move to another civilization, or perish.

The total period of existence of a local civilization is estimated at an average of 1000-1500 years.

Types of civilization:

1) by natural and geographical position: a) marine, b) continental, c) coastal.

2) according to the type of human interaction with nature:

a) primitive societies (man is completely dependent on nature),

b) agrarian societies (a person takes ready-made what nature gives him),

c) industrial societies (a person remakes nature, based on his own needs, creates a “second nature”),

d) post-industrial (information) societies (a person interacts with nature, compensating for the damage caused to it by his activity).

3) in terms of the pace and direction of development:

a) East - a slow, sustainable type of development of society, based on the merging of man with nature;

b) The West is a dynamic, rapidly developing society based on the active influence of man on nature.

Self-determine , which of the indicated types include Russian civilization and formulate those features that determined its originality in relation to each variant of typology.

Eastern Slavs in antiquity.

Territory and population.

The first mention of the Eastern Slavs as an independent ethnic group can be traced in sources from the 6th century. There is no consensus on the origin of the Eastern Slavs in historical science. The migration theory prevails: the Eastern Slavs are from Central Europe. But there is also an autochthonous theory (the Eastern Slavs are the original inhabitants of the East European Plain), as well as a number of theories trying to find the ancestral home of the Eastern Slavs in Central Asia, in the Arctic North and other regions of the planet.

On one's own formulate reasons for this diversity of opinion among researchers. trace on the map of the place of settlement of the East Slavic tribes by the 9th century.

Socio-economic development.

Eastern Slavs in the VI-VIII centuries. - settled tribes whose main occupation was agriculture. Formulate based on the text of the textbook, what were the features of the slash-and-burn system of agriculture, as well as ancillary farming classes. Define, at what stage of the social division of labor were the Eastern Slavs by the 9th century. (whether trade has already separated from agriculture and handicrafts).

During this period, according to archaeological materials, the transition of the Slavs from the tribal community to the neighboring community is traced. Formulate the main differences between these types of community from each other. The transition to a new type of communal relations stemmed from the development of the economy and changes in economic conditions.

Political system.

The social system of the Eastern Slavs in this period is usually called "military democracy". Formulate main features of this system. The highest officials in the administration were the elder and the prince. Veche played a significant role. Check the functions of each of the officials and the powers of the chamber.

Between the tribes of the Eastern Slavs by the 9th century. established fairly stable tribal unions. Try to define based on the text of the textbook, did the Eastern Slavs have cities by this time.

Religion and the Church.

Religion of the Eastern Slavs until the X century. - paganism. The paganism of the Eastern Slavs is rather difficult to reconstruct due to the limited sources, so you can find various options for describing the pantheon. But researchers agree that the highest pagan deities of the Slavs personified the forces of nature, then followed by a number of lower deities (domovye, goblin, water, etc.), which were an expression of the animation of nature that surrounded man. Another row was occupied by the deceased ancestors, whose cult played an important role in the life of the ancient Slavic society.

note on the features of the cult: a) The absence of temples (only temples and trebishche are known - open places where idols were placed and rituals were performed); b) There is no consensus about sacrifices - how typical were human sacrifices to the gods?; c) The role of the Magi is also debatable - was it a special estate or not?

In general terms, the religious system of the Eastern Slavs contained two main values: a) the unity of man with nature, b) the priority of generic, collective values ​​over personal ones.

Culture.

Information about the achievements of the culture of the Eastern Slavs is scarce due to the lack of a sufficient number of sources. The question of the presence of ancient Slavic writing in the pre-Christian period of Russia remains controversial. It is generally accepted that the level of scientific knowledge of the Eastern Slavs was not lower than the level of scientific knowledge of the neighboring peoples surrounding them.

Archaeological sources do not give grounds to believe that stone architecture was known to the Slavs at that time.

note that the calendar is focused on the cycle of agricultural work.

IN family relationships pair marriage and a large patriarchal family dominated.
