The fourth issue of Architectural Archaeology consists of articles united by a common theme: the history of the Novgorod Yuryev Monastery and its main sanctuary, the Cathedral of St. George. Here are collected publications and researches, devoted to archeology, history, monuments of art and architectural monuments of this most ancient Russian cloister. St. George's Cathedral turned 900 years old in 2019. This majestic temple was laid in 1119 at the request of Novgorod Prince Vsevolod (Gavriil) Mstislavich with the direct participation of the abbot of the Yuryev monastery Kiriak. Late chronicles mention the name of the master builder, Peter. St. George's Cathedral in 1120-1130s was decorated with frescos, icons and liturgical utensils. Later the cathedral was several times rebuilt and refurbished, but on the whole it is very well preserved. At different times this monument was studied by outstanding scientists: M.K. Karger, A.I. Nekrasov, M.A. Ilyin, N.I. Brunov, A.I. Komech, V.A. Bulkin, V.D. Sarabyanov. Its restoration was done by L.M. Shulyak and G.M. Stender. Since 2013 the Novgorod Architectural and Archaeological team of the Institute of the Academy of Sciences has been working inside and around the cathedral. The new excavations gave a significant increase of our knowledge about the architecture, construction features, details of the structure, the monumental painting of the cathedral and its necropolis, and put it in the archaeological and historical context of the 12th century. The thousands of found fragments of the original paintings have preserved not only the faces and clothing, but also graffiti inscriptions, which have provided new historical and linguistic information.

The article deals with the reconstruction of the political governance in Novgorod from the first half to mid-11th century, which was being interpreted very differently due to significant discrepancies in the sources.

Поскольку древнерусским князьям приходилось постоянно принимать участие в походах и сражениях, идеал правителя должен был, несомненно, отражать представления о них как о воинах. Предполагаемая рядом исследователей первостепенная важность воинского образа
князей, включающего их ратные и полководческие качества, однако, не находит подтверждения среди летописных некрологов (посмертных панегириков). Эти текст конструируют посмертный образ князя, отмечая его важнейшие качества ...

В статье анализируются названия монастырей Киева домонгольского времени. Автор приходит к выводу, что наиболее широко в этот период использовались агиотопонимы ― названия, образованные от церковных праздников, которым были посвящены соборные храмы монастырей. Иногда они дополнялись указаниями
на местность, где располагались иноческие общины. Необходимость в этих географических уточнениях возрастала по мере увеличения численности киевских монастырей. Использование притяжательных антропотопонимов было ...

В работе рассматриваются глобальные процессы, происходившие в Восточной Европе VIII-X вв. Главный их результат заключался в образовании государств в регионе и включении его в состав средневековой мир-системы. Совокупность происходивших изменений автор предлагает рассматривать как своеобразную докапиталистическую революцию. Революция не носила характер классового конфликта, потому что процесс классообразования в регионе находился на ранних стадиях. Это препятствовало ...

А. Ю. Дворниченко противопоставляет концепции мировых универсально-ориентированных революций свой собственный взгляд на историю России как на сугубо эволюционный процесс, в котором революциям ...
