a) Rurik and Novgorod

b) Rurik and Vladimir

c) Rurik and Olgovich

d) Rurik and Romanov

e) Rurik and Tsadorovich

The Rurik dynasty began when Rurik took power in Novgorod in the 9th century, and his descendants dominated that region corresponding to Russia until the end of the 16th century. The end of the Rurik dynasty ushered in:

a) Tartars

b) Mongols

c) Volga Bulgarians

d) Lithuanians

e) Poles

The power of the Rurik over the Russian region was directly associated with the emergence and development of a kingdom that existed until 1240, when they were conquered by Batu Khan. We're talking about/from:

a) Grand Duchy of Moscow

b) Kievan Rus

c) Khanate of the Golden Horde

d) Kazan Khanate

e) Grand Duchy of Lithuania

LETTER D

The two dynasties that ruled the territories corresponding to Russia in the aforementioned period (9th century to the beginning of the 20th century) were the Rurik and the Romanovs. The Rurik dynasty began in the mid-9th century, when it took over the throne of Novgorod. The Romanovs ruled from 1613, when Michael I assumed the Moscow throne, putting an end to the Time of Troubles. The Romanovs' rule lasted until 1917, when they were removed from power during the Russian Revolution.

LETER C

The end of the Rurik dynasty came in 1598, when Theodore I died and left the Russian throne without heirs. This started a period of dynastic strife that coincided with a great famine that spread across Russia. As a consequence of these disputes, Russia was invaded by Poles and Swedes, which amplified the tribulations of the time. Known as the Time of Troubles, this period ended with the accession of Michael I to the Russian throne, which gave rise to the Romanov dynasty.

LETER B

The Mongols invaded the region dominated by the Rurik from 1237, concluding this process of conquest in 1240. The conquest was undertaken by Batu Khan and began the period of existence of the Khanate of Golden Horde. The Mongols forced Russian rulers to pay heavy taxes. This domain lasted until 1480, when the Mongols were definitively expelled.

LETER B

The growth in power of the Rurik was directly linked to the development of Kievan Rus. This kingdom came into being gradually, from the moment Rurik assumed the throne of Novgorod. The center of power was transmitted to Kiev by the descendants of Rurik. Kievan Rus is considered the embryo that made possible the emergence of Russia as a nation. This kingdom, in its heyday, maintained control over considerable territorial area, including intense trade contacts with the Byzantines and other peoples.
