Russkaya Pravda
Russkaya Pravda is a historical legal code from medieval Kievan Rus, dating back to the 11th century. It is considered one of the earliest examples of written law in Eastern Europe and reflects the social and legal norms of the time. The code addresses various aspects of life, including property rights, criminal offenses, and family matters.
The text of Russkaya Pravda is divided into several sections, with the most notable being the "Short Edition" and the "Long Edition." These versions provide insights into the governance and justice system of early Slavic societies, influencing later legal traditions in the region.
