Description
The 14th century witnessed the start of Novgorod's long struggle with Moscow for supremacy. Internecine disputes among the republic's leaders weakened it in the face of growing Muscovite strength. Although it became a vassal of Moscow after the Muscovite invasions in 1456 and 1470, Novgorod was allowed to retain its self-government. It was not until 1478 that it came under Moscow's complete control and lost its freedom. Novgorod retained its commercial position until St. Petersburg was built in 1703.Actions

Description
Historically, in the 16th century the Roman Empire of Constantinople was long gone and its revival viewed as impossible. The Orthodox Faith never had a head figure like the Pope of the Catholic Faith. It however was mostly guided from Constantinople by the Patriarch there. As the Sunni Muslim Ottomans used the Patriarchs hostage-like situation for there own political gains many Orthodox countries felt appalled and started to loosen the chains of tradition. There had not existed a country as mighty as the Byzantines until...Russia was formed. Russia was created from the notion of full control of all those orthodox people that once had been Christianized from Kiev. This together with the fact that there was only one Orthodox country powerful enough to take up the mantle of the fallen Byzantines made the solution perfect and, thus the Greatest of Princedoms changed into the Empire of Russia.Actions

Action A of 210005 - Preparations of Vytautas for LithuaniaDescription
In 1425 Wassilij I, ruler of Muscovy, fostered his young son Vassilij II with his father-in-law Vytautas, and soon afterwards died. Vytautas was still determined to win a crown, but needed a visible success which could be proof of his strong position in eastern Europe and thus strengthen his claims. His first objective was Pskov. In 1426 he invaded the republic and forced it to pay tribute. In 1427 he made the borderland between Lithuania and Muscovy, known as the Wierchovian princedoms, subordinate to himself. It was composed of many small regions, which maintained their independence by maintaining tensions between Lithuania and Muscovy. After subduing Pskov, Vytautas turned his attention to Novgorod. In 1428 he invaded Novgorod and forced it to pay a very high tribute (11,000 rubles).Actions

Action A of 40087 - Submission of Novgorod for MuscovyDescription
In 1450s, a lengthy bickering over the ownership of the lands being bought by Novgorodian boyars in (formally) Muscovy-controlled areas arose between Muscovy and Novgorod. On the other hand, Muscovites were still bitter over the heartily welcome given to Shemiaka by Novgorodians, as well as their refusal to pay 8,000 rubles tribute to Muscovy. Vasily II declared war on Novgorod in 1456, after the matter couldn't be resolved peacefully. Muscovy troops defeated Novgorodians and threatened to capture the city. The ensuing peace made Novgorod pay additional 8,500 rubles, return all the lands bought by Novgorodian boyars to Muscovy crown, pay yearly tribute to Muscovy Grand Prince, and agreed to write all laws in the name of Vasily II, and not veche, thus ending the independence of Novgorodian Republic.Actions
