For the purposes of the Russian Knowledge Page, Medieval Russia is defined as 600 to 1689 CE, the year Peter the Great came into power and introduced his Western-style reforms. In the [http://web.archive.org/web/20050104065138/http://www.sca.org/ Society for Creative Anachronism] (the group the Slavic Interest Group comes from) the medieval period is defined as 600 to 1600 CE. To address this discrepancy, we will note the year of any documentation or information whenever possible so that people can decide on their own what is "medieval" for Russia. | |||

*** [http://palimpsest.lss.wisc.edu/~creeca/ Lectures on Russian History from 800 to 1800]: RealAudio streaming downloads of a whole semester's worth of lectures about Russian History. The course was taught by Michael Petrovich, a former professor at the University of Madison at Wisconsin. Unlike many Russian History classes, these lectures do not in any way gloss over the early years. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! | |||
