What If it had survived?

What if Hitler was the Prime Minister of Novgorod?

What if a pregnant Anne Frank was the Queen of Novgorod?

They had exceptional literacy and all that. Important for the Hansa too. The world would have been a better place.

Did you know Novgorod is a
R-E-P-U-B-L-I-C

Would you say “France Republic”?

Yea but what if

It'd be fairly cold I reckon

No, it wasn't. It was a principality with oligarchic governance, it was only named republic posthumously in a rather sensationalist fashion. Of course, by the time Novgorod existed, only males were eligible.

Novgorod was a pretty shitty principality all things considered. One thing it had going for it was that it saved itself from the Mongolian invasion by surrendering at once.

yeah but what if Novgorod was a republic

What if People's Republic of Novgorod

It was not a democracy of course but it was as close to republic as any other city state in Europe at that time. It had veche - town meeting which elected magistrates. There was a prince as well, but he was selected by town itself and was akin to Italian condottieri.

It will become new East Slav sub-ethnos, like Ukrainians or Belorussians. Novgorodians had their distinct dialect. I've read in travel blogs that in some small towns of the former Novgorodian Land they still use 'ts' instead of Great Russian 'sh'. Could be either Finnic or West Slav (where they are reportedly from) influence.

It would be a more Russian Finland

Inshallah the Novgorod Empire shall rise again and defeat the treacherous Moscovites

Novgorod was Russia who actually wanted to coexist with it's neighbours

Would've the 17th Alabama stood their ground against the Muscovites for Novgorod if they knew of the pregnant Anne Frank?

It was literally ruled by a rurikid prince most of the time

Yes

We'd see a much poorer modern day russia when novgorod(who woulf have most likely formed a more unique cultural indetity) breaks free after the fall of the USSR
If they never get eaten by russia ever we would se a irrelevant poor shithole known as muscovy that would get shat on by poland and their buttbuddys, novgorod would also probably be eaten by carlous when he takes the throne

Veche is a meme.
In reality it would look more like THAT version of the (((Bilderberg club))) meeting and deciding what to do.
