Like the latter, the Slavs in the early Middle Ages had their assembly of the village, in this case called the mir, and a larger assembly of the canton or voloat In these as- semblies, presided over by a chosen elder, the affairs of the community were discussed and decided. From them might have developed, as in England, a great national elective assembly, representative of the entire race. Fate willed otiierwise. When the hardy Vikings of the North set out first to ravage and then to rule the d...iores of France, England, and Sicily, various bands in- vaded also the districts to the east of the Baltic. Tra- dition has it that one of these adventurers, Rurik by 121 122 HOW THE WORLD VOTES name, conquered and consolidated tiie Slavic tribes about Novgorod in the ninth century, and that his successors extended their sway to Ihe south so as to include the great town of Kiev and the surrounding country under their rule. Hence the name Russia which comes from the word Rovs, the Finnish appellation given to the "men of the North." From this conquest there developed many groups of petty principalities, governed by the descendants of Rurik and engaged in constant and ruin- ous internecine warfare.
