Abstract

The article analyzes the historical and genetic interconnections of the oldest cities of Novgorod and Pskov, which are the most important in the basic network of the state resettlement, their geopolitical and administrative role in consolidation of the Russian state. We consider the features of distribution of administrative functions between them, the mutual influence on the development of the planning structure and socio-economic links between the main centers and the surrounding settlements. Ancient factual information confirming the unity and uniqueness of Pskov -Novgorod regional settlement system as a national treasure are presented. The close relationship between Pskov and Novgorod was not limited to the commonelity of state and geopolitical interests. The historical facts that testify to the political and administrative dominance of Novgorod can be traced, its steady leadership in the trade and economic influence on the entire north-western region of the Russian state, that created a complementarity of functions between the neighboring cities: the predominance of administrative or economic in one center, for example, Novgorod, and the predominance of defense in the other - Pskov; an analysis of the historical settlement system confirms the priority role of Novgorod, which consolidated its interests in trade with the Pskov suburbs such as Toropets, Velikiye Luki, Kholm, appearing in the zone of influence of Pskov and Novgorod. administrative or economic in a support center, for example, Novgorod, and the predominance of defense in the other in Pskov; an analysis of the historical settlement system confirms the priority role of Novgorod, reinforcing their interests in the trade with Pskov suburbs such as Toropets, Velikiye Luki, Kholm, which were in the zone of influence of both Pskov and Novgorod.
