| - The republic of Novgorod was the biggest Russian state by size, although not by population around the PoD. 1227, Yaroslav of Novgorod attacked Finland as in OTL. Without the Mongol attacks on Russia, neither the Teutonic Order nor Sweden dared to attack Russia, so there never was an Aleksandr Nevsky. Novgorod continued to reign in the North and slowly started to expand East. 1270, a rebellion of peasants against the rich boyars took place in Novgorod. The German explorer Markus Poller came to Novgorod in 1282. In the 1320s, the Novgorodians would start to explore Novorossiya (New Russia), OTL Siberia, starting with the Ob river. When the Russian princedom of Polozk was conquered by the Teutonic Order 1322, parts of the population fled via Smolensk to Novgorod, after Smolensk was unwilling or unable to help them. City names in NE Russia like Novopolozk and Nishny Polozk would tell about their wanderings.
