Novorossiya (New Russia) was how the Russians from TTL called OTL Siberia. Since 1460, the Russian lands suffered from overpopulation: The Russian population had recovered from the Black Death (and due to a less densely settled population, a smaller part of the people had died than in Western Europe). Since the pressure of their feudal lords became harder and harder too, peasants started looking for land. So they settled in neighboring areas: Those from Novgorod and Vladimir-Suzdal went to Novorossiya, while those from Kiev and the South in general went into OTL Ukraine (which was mostly settled by Kumans at this time).

  • Novorossiya (New Russia) was how the Russians from TTL called OTL Siberia. Since 1460, the Russian lands suffered from overpopulation: The Russian population had recovered from the Black Death (and due to a less densely settled population, a smaller part of the people had died than in Western Europe). Since the pressure of their feudal lords became harder and harder too, peasants started looking for land. So they settled in neighboring areas: Those from Novgorod and Vladimir-Suzdal went to Novorossiya, while those from Kiev and the South in general went into OTL Ukraine (which was mostly settled by Kumans at this time). When returning merchants spread tales about the riches of the new lands, the competition for it began. In a War between Vladimir and Novgorod 1469-72, Novgorod lost the right to trade in the areas east of Volga and Kama - thus being cut off from Novorossiya now. And in another Border war between Vladimir and Chernigov 1483-89, Vladimir won again, thus kept the Southern Russian states from expanding east of the Volga. Since the 1490s, After the taxes were raised in Old Russia, even more settlers went East and South.
