On February 20 (28), 1549, the Zemsky Sobor decided to develop a new set of Russian laws, known as the Code of Laws of Ivan IV. It was compiled by June 1550. This is the last act that preserved the right of peasants to leave their landowners on St. George’s Day (November 26, Art.).

In 1548, King Safa-Girey, from the family of Crimean khans and hostile to Russia, died in Kazan. Shortly before his death, he reflected the book. Belsky, approaching Kazan. After him, the Kazan people placed his young son Utemysh-Girey under the tutelage of his mother Syuyunbeki. In 1550, the tsar personally undertook a campaign against Kazan, but muddy roads did not allow him to go further than the mouth of Sviyaga; a fortress was founded here and a Russian garrison was left. The Mountain Cheremis then submitted to Russia, as a result of which Kazan was constrained and the Kazan people asked Ivan to give them a king. Shah Ali was sent, but with the condition of concession of the mountain side.

The need to correct church books has been felt for a long time, since many opinions were included in the books that disagreed with the teachings of the Orthodox Church. In the first quarter of the 16th century. this correction was entrusted to Maxim the Greek. He found many errors, corrected some books, but at the same time, due to ignorance of the Slavic language, he made some inaccuracies that gave the opportunity to his opponents, led by Metropolitan. Daniel, accuse him of damaging books and exile him to a remote monastery. At the Council of the Stoglavy (1550), it was decided to correct the books, not translating them from the originals, as Maxim did, but comparing them only with “good translations.” Since the task of correction was entrusted to the archpriests and priestly elders, their general ignorance opened up even greater scope for distortions of the church text.

Johann Schlitte, a German adventurer sent to Germany to hire artisans and technicians, sent to Rome under a fictitious authority (as some think - not without the secret participation of the Viennese court) a certain Steinberg with a statement of the desire of Tsar Ivan the Terrible to accept the union and with a request to grant him the royal title and establish a Catholic metropolitanate in Moscow. Supported by imp. Charles V and the Viennese nuncio, Schlitte caused great excitement in Rome and gave rise to broad plans (1550-3), which met serious opposition in the Polish king Sigismund Augustus, who considered recognition of the Moscow leader. the prince was a king dangerous to the interests of Poland; under the threat of a break with Rome and rapprochement with the Turks, he managed to force the Pope to abandon his intentions, which, however, would have already failed from Ivan the Terrible himself at the first attempt to implement them.

Year 1550 from the Nativity of Christ

In Europe at this time the Reformation was in full swing, and with it religious wars.
In France, the ardent Catholic Henry of Guise was born to lead the Catholic League in the future and organize St. Bartholomew's Night,

and the inspired Protestant preacher Gerard Roussel, confessor of Margaret of Navarre, left the world, inclined towards the Reformation not because of its dogmas, but because of its spirit - “the correction of life through a living and warm faith that restores hearts and generates mercy.”

In addition, this year brought France - the author of tragic poems of civil wars, the poet Theodore Agrippa d'Aubigne, Poland - the author of metaphysical lyrics, the poet Szazhinsky, and Belarus - the polemicist Stefan Zizania, who became a fierce preacher against the union with the Roman Church and a defender of Orthodoxy.

John Napier was born in Scotland, who was mainly engaged in theology and interpretation of the Apocalypse (which, as always, did not come:), and in his spare time, in between, he invented logarithms.

For those who, like me, don’t remember what it is :)

But 47-year-old Michel de Notredame, better known as Nostradamus, already published his first almanac with predictions about the future in 1550. Before this, he had already become famous for the “invention” of a cure against the “Black Death” - a plague epidemic that devastated Europe in the 16th century. The medicine was a combination of 3 components - fresh air, clean water and vitamin C:)
The popularity of Nostradamus's almanac among the public exceeded all the author's expectations, and until the end of his life, Nostradamus was simply forced to release similar almanacs every year. He began the famous “Centuries” (“Centuries”), containing predictions of future events in European history, 4 years later.

We owe the allegorical form and the language of Nostradamus’s almanacs, oversaturated with symbols and codes, to the Inquisition, the persecution of which the author feared (however, Nostradamus himself emphasized that all his prophecies “come from the mouth of the Holy Spirit,” so the question of authorship remains open:) So the Inquisition, and modern researchers and sympathizers are free to guess what exactly the mysterious Jew from Provence wanted to say with his bestseller.

Meanwhile, Georgius Agricola (simply Georg Bauer, or "The Peasant"), the first systematic mineralogist in Germany, completed a truly scientific work - the book "De re metallica libri xii" ("The Book of Metals") in twelve volumes, a real encyclopedia of mining business and metallurgy, his system formed the basis of all further mineralogical work up to the 18th century inclusive.

In Rus', the year 1550 was marked mainly by the fact that the young 20-year-old Tsar and Grand Duke
Ivan Vasilyevich of all Rus' with his brother and the boyars laid down the Sudebnik.

This document went down in history as the Code of Laws of 1550 and included 99 ordered articles, incl. about the rules for the transition of peasants from feudal lord to feudal lord on St. George’s Day (the period when this transition was permitted was limited to two weeks - before and after St. George’s Day, which we know from the saying “Here’s to you, grandmother, and St. George’s Day!”, which appeared with the destruction of this rights under Boris Godunov).
The system of central government established by the Code of Law, which existed in Russia until the time of Peter the Great.

And back in 1550, cannons and bells were being cast in full swing in Rus' (invited German craftsmen gave master classes to ours at the same time) and bells, one of which is still pleasing to the eye in the Kremlin:

bell, nicknamed Nemchin because of the hard-to-read Gothic German inscription :)

On October 1, 1550, the tsar established a Streltsy army of 3,000 people who made up his personal guard, which gives historians reason to consider this date the birthday of the Russian Armed Forces as the historical successor of the Muscovite kingdom.

However, not all military endeavors were successful this year. As part of eliminating the threat posed by the Kazan Khanate, Ivan the Terrible makes a second trip to Kazan, but returns with nothing, seemingly due to an unexpected warming of the weather (the first time, all the cannons were sunk under the ice).
The Tatars had their own version of the development of events, which was immortalized by the Bulgarian scientist and poet Sherif Hadji Tarkhani in his historical work of 1550 “Zafer name-i Vilayet-i Kazan”, awarding Ivan the Terrible with pithy epithets with all oriental eloquence: unfaithful and arrogant and with his nose in the air, and he is a polytheist and a defeatist of the era, and a troublemaker of the gold-born world, one of the two devils, the leader of the accursed army, the atheist Ivan, with his appearance as a pharaoh and Nemrut. According to the poet, after a 10-day battle the wicked with bad religion and perverted concepts were so destroyed that even their traces and signs were torn from the pages of Time. Well, no tolerance! :) From the pages of Time, however, traces were torn out not of the kingdom of Ivan the Terrible, but of the Kazan Khanate itself - Tsar Ivan took Kazan 2 years later.

Meanwhile, in Finland, Helsingfors was founded by the Swedish king; under this name, the current capital of Finland was known to the whole world until 1917, when the country became independent, and the world learned the Finnish name of the city - Helsinki.

The Spaniards also did not waste time, and continuing their expansion into Chile, they founded the city of Concepcion there.
And in Holland, the future navigator Willem Barents was born, who went down in history as the first European to winter in the Arctic - and all in order to find a northern route to Asia. This path, as you might guess, was never found, but the memory of the desperate European is immortalized in the name of the sea - guess which one :)

And here comes the sea

And lastly, in 1550, according to the chronicles of the Ming Dynasty (1573–1620), tobacco was first brought to China from the northern Philippine Islands, where Chinese merchants were actively trading long before the arrival of the Europeans (who would get to tobacco 23 years later). In China, the Shan doctor Zhang Jiabing found a useful use for the new plant - he treated snake bites, colds, malaria, cholera and other diseases with tobacco. Smoke, children, for your health! (c)

Flash mob is so interesting! I’ll give those who wish to comment a year to be torn to pieces;) half a day on Wikipedia and Googledex will be completely not wasted, I assure you;)
And all the “years” are collected into a single chronicle, so if you see this flash mob on someone, don’t forget to post the link there *_*

Grozny was compiled in 1550. It was based on a previous document written three years earlier under Ivan III. The new code of laws became the first official legal act in the history of Ancient Rus', which was recognized as the only source of legality of legal proceedings. A general description of the Code of Law of 1550, which includes a brief description of its main provisions, is presented in this article.

Prerequisites for creating a new document

In the XV-XVI centuries, the process of formation and unification of Russian lands ended, and a single one appeared. Now all power was concentrated in Moscow and was in the hands of From there he controlled all his lands.

At this time, significant changes took place in the issue of land ownership, as the period of feudalism began. These changes led to the fact that previously adopted laws could no longer fully regulate the new relations that had emerged in the socio-economic sphere. There was a need to create a more updated and improved source of legal relations that could be used to guide decision-making on a particular issue. Therefore, the prerequisites for the emergence of a new edition of the Code of Law were the reforms carried out by Ivan the Terrible and the irrelevance of the previous set of laws. In addition, there is a need to specify some of his articles.

The purpose of creating a new document, which was the Code of Laws of 1550, a summary of which will be given below, was to close multiple gaps in the outdated code of laws. This was achieved by supplementing it with more modern and detailed legal acts.

Creation of an updated Code of Laws

Basic provisions

Ivan the Terrible with his brothers and close boyars adopted the Code of Law of 1550. The main provisions of this document confirmed the previous custom, according to which in court, in addition to the governors appointed by the tsar, there were elders and the so-called kissers, that is, jurors who kissed the cross. They were official and permanent participants in court proceedings. In addition to the governors, the zemstvo clerks also had to draw up protocols. The papers were considered valid only after they were signed by the headman and the kissers. The governors and their assistants, the tiuns, could not arrest anyone without explaining to them the reasons for the arrest.

Also in the Code of Laws, special attention was paid to local and central government bodies. The transformations affected mainly the viceroyal leadership, but the old feeding system was preserved.

The general characteristics of the Code of Law of 1550 include the social part of the new legislation. It concerns two main issues - the dependent population, which were slaves and peasants, and land ownership. The new document was intended to improve the justice process and give representatives of the local population the opportunity to control it.

In the 16th century, abuse of power by those appointed by the sovereign, as well as by judges, was widespread. This state of affairs could not help but be reflected in the Tsar’s Code of Law. This document contains articles that say that judges cannot take promises, take revenge or befriend each other. At the same time, the ban was not general and vague; disobedience was subject to a very specific punishment: a fine, imprisonment, or whipping.

A general description of the Code of Law of 1550 would be incomplete without mentioning one more very important provision. The judge had no right to dismiss the plaintiffs before he understood the essence of their complaint. If the official did not properly perform his duties and these facts of abuse reached the king, then the servant of the law could himself end up in jail.

Civil Law Norms

They were necessary for the regulation and further development of increasingly complex socio-economic relations. Its subjects could be both teams consisting of two or more people, and individuals. All aspects in this area were regulated by the Code of Laws of 1550. A right in rem could be acquired by agreement, seizure, grant, discovery or prescription.

The most common way of obtaining rights to property at this time was by contract. Until the middle of the 16th century, it was concluded exclusively orally. At the end of the century, the contract already existed in the form of a written agreement called bondage. Such a document was signed personally by the obliging parties. If they were illiterate, the paper was signed either by their relatives or spiritual fathers.

Over time, a serf or notarial type of transactions arose, according to which contracts relating to the alienation of real estate entered into legal force only after they were registered.

Inheritance law

The main direction of its development in the XIV-XVI centuries was not only the expansion of the circle of heirs, but also the consolidation of their rights to property. And this was largely facilitated by the new Code of Laws of 1550. Briefly, the main provision can be formulated as follows: it allowed any family member to make a will. It was drawn up in writing, and then approved in the presence of the clerk and rumors.

According to the law of that time, the circle of heirs consisted of children and surviving spouses. But in some cases it included other relatives. For example, if it concerned the inheritance of estates. Only those sons who lived in his house at the time of the death of the head of the family could receive their part of the property. The brothers were to inherit in equal shares. If the family had not only sons, but also daughters, then the latter had no rights to real estate.

St. George's day

The previous set of laws concerning the transfer of villagers from one village to another, as well as from an old landowner to a new one, was also included in the Code of Laws of 1550. The peasants were allowed to make such movements only within a strictly defined period - in the fall, a week before St. George's Day and for the same time after it. This gave the right to choose a good landowner and, it should be noted, many used it when leaving bad owners.

Why did such movements occur in the fall? This was due to the fact that when the harvest was already completed, the peasant’s transition from the previous master to the new one became absolutely painless for both of them. The very nature of land relations prescribed bilateral restrictions on such actions. For example, the landowner did not have the right to expel the peasant from the rented land before the harvest, and the peasant, in turn, could not leave the owner without paying him off after the end of the harvest. Thus, the law established a clear deadline within which both parties had to pay each other.

Criminal law

Thanks to the new document adopted by Ivan the Terrible, some laws have undergone significant changes. Criminal law was no exception. The Code of Law of 1550, unlike the previous one, defined crime not as an insult, that is, causing moral or material damage to a group of people or an individual, but also began to include illegal acts committed against the state. Thus, failure to comply with regulations, established norms, as well as failure to comply with the will of the sovereign was considered a criminal offense.

Classification of offenses

In the new Code of Laws, the systematization of offenses began to be used for the first time. At the top level were crimes committed against the state. First of all, these included sedition - betrayal of one's country or prince, weaving a conspiracy, calling for an uprising or rebellion.

A step lower were malfeasance and offenses committed against the order of management and the court itself. This could be a bribe, counterfeiting, false testimony, embezzlement, etc.

Ways to pay for wrongdoing

The Code of Law of 1550 significantly complicated the system of punishments for crimes committed, and also introduced new ones - isolation and intimidation of the criminal. The most terrible punishment was, of course, the death penalty. Only the sovereign could cancel it. A very serious punishment was the so-called trade execution, when the offender was beaten with a whip in the market square. Other corporal and self-harm punishments were also used.

There were also additional sanctions in the form of fines and other monetary penalties. They directly depended on the victim and the severity of the crime.

This is the general description of the Code of Laws of 1550. The document of the 16th century describes in sufficient detail the main principles of governing the centralized Russian state. It is worth noting that the code of laws of Ivan the Terrible is not only a historical monument, but also the basis on which modern law is based.

Reasons for the appearance of the judge:

The need to reorganize the judicial apparatus;

Bringing legal norms into line with the strengthening of the state;

Bringing legal norms into line with the strengthening of the role of the nobles.

With the publication of the Code of Laws, the range of powers of the central government expands: control over governors, collection of a single state duty, and the right to collect trade duties (tangi) passes to the royal administration.

A clearly expressed social orientation of punishment is being carried out, and the features of the search process are being strengthened. The regulation covers the areas of criminal law and property relations. The class principle of punishment is consolidated and at the same time the circle of subjects of crime expands; slaves are also included in it. The new code of laws prohibited the transfer of boyar children (small-scale nobles in the service of princes and boyars) into serfs and limited the influx of townspeople into the possessions of monasteries. The latter measure indicated the state's desire to prevent a loss of taxpayers, since the clergy was exempt from state taxes. The tax-paying population must bear a tax - a combination of natural and monetary duties.
The Code of Law of 1550 retained St. George's Day, but included more streamlined articles on the rules for the transfer of peasants and allowed the conversion of slaves into peasants, limited the rights of governors, toughened penalties for robbery, and introduced articles on punishment for bribery.

The subjective characteristics of a crime are established much more clearly in the law, and forms of guilt are developed.
The crime according to the Code of Law of 1550 is not only the infliction of material or moral harm (offense). The defense of the existing social and legal order now comes to the fore. A crime is a violation of established norms, regulations and, at the same time, the will of the sovereign, which is inextricably linked with the interests of the state.
The concept of a state crime appeared, which was unknown to Russian Pravda. These include: sedition (anti-state act), conspiracy, rebellion.

The strengthening of central power led to the development of forms of extrajudicial, extra-legal reprisals. Practice has developed such a unique form of judicial process as “liking” (Article 52 of the Code of Law of 1550): if the suspect was accused of being “a notoriously dashing person,” this was enough to subject him to torture. The accusation was brought against 15-20 people of the “best people”, children of boyars, nobles, representatives of the top of the settlement or the peasant community. “Olikhovaniye” gave rise to a special subject - a “dashing person.” “Dashing” (especially dangerous) cases included robbery, robbery, arson, murder (“murder”), and special types of theft.
A group of official crimes and crimes against the order of management and court: bribe (“promise”), embezzlement.
The development of the monetary system gave rise to such a crime as counterfeiting (minting, counterfeiting, counterfeiting of money).
Crimes against the person were divided into:

Qualified types of murder ("state murderer", robber murderer)
- insult by action and word.
Group of property crimes. Much attention is paid to the Tatba, which distinguishes between robbery and robbery (open theft of property) and qualified types that are not legally delimited from each other:
- church,
- "head" (kidnapping).

The system of punishment is also becoming more complex, and new goals of punishment are being formed: intimidation and isolation of the criminal. Corporal punishment is the main form of punishment. The most common form is “trade execution”, i.e. whipping in a shopping area.
Self-harmful punishments appeared during the period of legal justice and performed an important symbolic function - singling out a criminal from the general mass (cutting ears, tongue, branding). Additional penalties were often applied in the form of fines and monetary penalties.

Facts about the judge:

Of the 100 articles, about a third are new. Articles taken from the Code of Law of 1494 are specified in accordance with judicial practice.

Not only those who were present in 1947 (“city dealer”), but also “compilers” (forgers of documents) were included in the rank of state crimes punishable by death.

Articles on criminal offenses testify to the state’s concern for its safety, and not about justice (establishing the truth) “led by dashing people.”

The increasingly complex social structure is reflected in the chapter on dishonor - compensation for moral damage for an insult.

The article on peasant refusal has been supplemented with details. During the transition, the serf must remain a full-fledged taxpayer.

The sources of servitude are more limited than in 1497. The procedure for self-selling into slaves is described in detail.

In the articles on land ownership, the boyars are not prejudiced in their interests.

The judge demonstrated uniform legislation.

But the practice of legal proceedings developed after its adoption.

With the advent of orders, they took over those judicial functions that previously belonged to the princely or boyar court.
