Bezeima of that time, still. Lapotnaya, Rus' before this warlike and industrialized people is revealed in the words said, according to legend, by the Good Vlalimru: “I took the prisoners, and they were in boots; they gave us tribute: ‘Don’t pay, let’s go look for the bast workers!’” A peace was concluded between the two peoples, which could only be broken “when the stone begins to float and the hops sink.”)” In 1006, we see confirmation of this agreement. Through their ambassadors who came to Kleve, the Bulgarians negotiated for themselves the right to free and safe trade in the cities of the Volga and Okz. Due to misunderstandings, the Bulgarian merchants they had to appear with special seals from their government; this rule also applied to the Ruban merchants who came to Bulgaria. The princes adopted the custom of providing merchants with seals as a passport from Byzania, where this was constantly practiced 2). below, sometimes they were exposed to the Rusian land; on the other hand, they protected the Bulgars themselves from the appearance of people with “heroic” habits under the guise of Russian vuptsov. The condition is also interesting. to whom the Bulgarian merchants could not sell their goods in small quantities in villages and villages, as well as buy goods there, but had to trade only with Russians. merchants °). This ruling is quite understandable; it was necessary to keep domestic trade in one's own hands, which would have been absolutely impossible if petty bargaining had been allowed to foreign merchants with whom. Rue, not only at that time, but also much later, could not compete in trade experience and dexterity "). Peaceful commercial and industrial relations were established between the Bulgars and Russia, ensuring the free stay of the Russian kuntsy in BulgarV and the Bulgarian ones in Yovyev; led to "60% possible attempts" on both sides to convert their neighbor to your

The relationship continued on and on. We have already seen that in 1024 the Bulgarians rescued Rus' from the bldg, releasing a significant amount of grain here 2). The same thing happened at the beginning of HP. In 1229, there was a terrible famine across all Russian lands, accompanied by pestilence. The Bulgarians, having renewed the trade agreement with Russia after the recent war, transported grain along the Volga and the Ok. The Tsar sent Bulgarians as a gift. ki. Yury from Suzdal gave thirty plantings of rye, for which Yury thanked him by sending him cloth, brocade, beaten bones and other expensive things 3). We already know that construction workers came from Bulgaria to the Suzdal land and architects were called.") But the Bulgarians lived in the Russian Volga cities not in single units, but, one must think, in very significant numbers. The princes of Suzdal Vladimir, taking care of the settlement of their sparsely populated region, invited, among other things, the Bulgarians to move to them, who They settled there in the cities.
