Raska what is it. What is "Rashka"? Individual guide Multi-day excursions in the Balkans
It's funny: often Russia's enemies call it "Rashka", considering that this is an insult.
But in fact, there was a state that was officially called Rashka (1083 - 1217).
Raska (Serb. Raska, Raška) is a medieval Serbian state (zhupa) and a region of the same name. According to the data of the Byzantine emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus, after the resettlement of the Serbs to the Balkans, the Raska region was located between the Sava, Vrbas and Ibar rivers. Later, the core of Raska shifted somewhat southeast. Until the 11th century, Raska as a geographical area was part of the Serbian principality. After the collapse of the Serbian principality after the death of Chaslav Klonimirovich, part of Raska was part of Byzantium. In the 11th century in the region of Raska, the eponymous zhupa was created, whose rulers at the end of the same century began to fight against Byzantium. During the XII century, the Serbs managed to win their independence, and by the beginning of the XIII century Serbia had become a powerful state, which in 1217 became a kingdom. The Kingdom of Serbia (Serb. Krajevina Srbiјa) is a medieval Serbian kingdom that existed from 1217 to 1346 under the rule of the Nemanich dynasty. The kingdom was formed from Raska in 1217, and in 1346 it was transformed into a kingdom. The period of the kingdom was the heyday of medieval Serbia.
According to one theory, the name of the historic area comes from the city of Ras, founded by the Romans. Here in the X century lay the border between Serbia and Bulgaria, and in the XII century the city finally passed to Serbia and became the capital of its rulers. Serbian historian Sima Chirkovic wrote that Ras was the first large administrative unit conquered by the Serbs from the Byzantines. Then the Serbs placed in it the residence of their rulers. After that, Latin sources begin to call Serbs Rasciani, and their state - Rascia. The Hungarians and Germans retained these names until the 20th century. Thus, the name of the Rasa or Raska arose for the state of the Serbian Zhupans. It was also used in the title of great zupans, alternating with the name “Serbian lands”. At the same time, the Byzantines continued to use the name Serbia].
Names: Serb. Raška, Raska zemlja, lat. Rassa, Rassia, Raxia, Rascia (in Russian literature there is a Cyrillic spelling "Rasia", in the pre-revolutionary edition - "Rassia".
The town of Raska still exists on the border with Kosovo. Stari Ras (Serb. Stari Ras) is a complex of medieval monuments located on the territory of Serbia. UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Represents the vicinity of the ancient city of Ras.
There is the Raska River (sometimes Ratina, Rasinya (Serb. Raska) in Serbia. The Raska River originates from several mountain springs located south of the Sopachany Monastery, near the town of Novi Pazar. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe town of Raska, the river flows into the Ibar.
The roots of the Eastern Slavs are in the Balkans. From somewhere from there came the ancestors of the Russians to the East European Plain.
Maybe you need to take a closer look at the name Raska? Have you brought it with you?
Today it is believed that the word "Russia" somehow originated from the word "Rus".
The Slavic hypothesis says that in the VIII-IX centuries. there was a tribe among the Eastern Slavs, which inhabited the middle course of the Dnieper: from Kiev and along the river Ros to its tributary Rossava. At the mouth of the Ros was the city of Kinsfolk. Yaropolk fled to this city from his brother Vladimir the Saint. When the Varangians raided these places, they began to call the land Rus.
According to the Sarmatian hypothesis, it was believed that the Rus were the direct descendants of the Sarmatian tribes of the Roxolans and Rosomans. From these names, over time, the word Rus appeared. Mikhail Lomonosov also adhered to this theory.
The Swedish hypothesis proposes the theory that from the 6th to the 9th centuries Northwest Russia was inhabited by Finnish tribes. The Swedes who visited these lands in the Norman and Varangian guise called the Finnish tribes Ruotsi, Roots, Rotsi.
There is also a military hypothesis, according to which, when the Old Russian state was just emerging, the military class was called "Rus". Later they began to call the form of government "Rus", and then the whole people.
Why is there no Balkan theory of the origin of the ethnonym? It would be logical.
