The first mention of teaching children is found in the Russian chronicle of 988. It was this year that Prince Vladimir decided to convert to Christianity and convert all his subjects to this religion. Then the general need for literacy training was reinforced by the need for literate people to conduct church services. Prince Vladimir ordered to “collect children from the best people and send them to book education.” The first mention of teaching children is found in the Russian chronicle of 988.

With the formation of a unified state, the need for literate people increased. By decision of the Stoglavy Council, schools for training priests were opened at churches and monasteries. Ordinary people were taught by special masters of “non-clerical” rank, who trained for 2 years for food and a small fee. The development of schools required the publication of textbooks.

In 1564, with the support of Ivan the Terrible, in Moscow at the Printing Yard, I. Fedorov and P. Mstislavets printed the first book in Russian, “The Apostle.” In 1565, the “Book of Hours” was published, the first book for teaching literacy. I. Fedorov was not only a publisher, but also a talented editor - he translated books, edited them, wrote “Introductions” and “Conclusions”.






A. Maksimov BOOK LEARNING In “Azbukovnik” we find confirmation of one very important fact: education in Rus' at that time was not a class privilege. “For this reason I speak always and never cease in speaking to pious people, of every rank and rank, noble and honorable, rich and poor, even to the last farmers.” In "Azbukovnik" we find confirmation of one very important fact: education in Rus' at that time was not a class privilege. “For this reason I speak always and never cease in speaking to pious people, of every rank and rank, noble and honorable, rich and poor, even to the last farmers.”


By the 17th century there were already quite a lot of schools in both cities and villages, and their number was growing rapidly. This confirms the existence of books called “Azbukovnik”. These were collections of educational, moralizing and encyclopedic articles. The most widespread are educational alphabet books. They consisted of the alphabet (with syllables and scripts), brief information on Russian and sometimes Greek grammar, arithmetic, and religious and moral teachings.

K. Lebedev. PETER I TAKES THE EXAM OF RUSSIANS RETURNING FROM ABROAD (NOVIKS) Under Peter I, the School of Mathematical and Navigational Sciences was established. Boys and young men of all classes (except serfs) studied there. Pushkar, hospital, and administrative schools were created. A decree was issued on universal educational conscription for children of all classes (except peasants). It was decided: without a certificate of completion of training, “marrying is not allowed...”.












Initially, in Ancient Rus', education did not play an important role, since except for the children of rich boyars and noble families, no one else could study science. The bulk of the population were peasants who worked day and night on their lands and the lands of their own owner. But the situation began to change during the period of the baptism of Rus'.


The origin of education in Kievan Rus began only after the baptism of the people by Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavovich. The first schools in Rus' were established in 988 in the city of Kyiv. This information is fully consistent with the famous chronicle “The Tale of Bygone Years.” The name of the prince was indicated in the chronicle as the founder of the first school in Kievan Rus. By his decree, he ordered all the children of noble and boyar families to be collected and sent to schools to study book writing. But training was perceived by many as torture. Mothers did not yet understand where and why they were going to send their children. That is why they mourned them greatly, and said goodbye to the children, as if they were leaving for certain death.


The school created by Prince Vladimir was called “Book Teaching”, and was a real palace educational institution. It taught not only literacy, but also other sciences. There were about 300 students in this school, and they were all divided into small groups, each of which had its own teacher. After this, most often schools could be seen at monasteries and churches. For the first time, the term “school” itself appeared in Rus' only in 1382, when, according to pan-European traditions, this term began to designate educational institutions where people were taught crafts and given specialized knowledge.


During the reign of Prince Vladimir, only boys could study at school, and the first subject for their education was bookmaking. It was believed that men should be more savvy in communication, and girls should not know how to read and write, since they will become future housewives, and their responsibilities will only include proper management of the household. And for this you don’t need to know how to read and write. And only in May 1086 the very first women's school appeared in Rus', the founder of which was Prince Vsevolod Yaroslavovich. His daughter, Anna Vsevolodovna, simultaneously headed the school and studied science. Only here could young girls from wealthy families learn to read and write and various crafts.


At the beginning of 1096, schools began to open throughout Rus'. The first schools began to appear in such large cities as Murom, Vladimir and Polotsk, and were most often built at monasteries and churches. Thus, priests were considered the most educated people in Rus'. Since the 15th century, institutions at monasteries ceased to be built, and private schools appeared, which at that time were called “masters of literacy.”

In Rus', educational institutions were called schools: the word school came into use starting from the 14th century. Already in the first half of the 11th century, we know of the palace school of Prince Vladimir in Kyiv and the school founded by Yaroslav the Wise in Novgorod in 1030. The content of education, as in educational institutions of the West, consisted of the seven liberal arts dating back to antiquity: grammar, rhetoric, dialectics (the so-called trivium), arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy (the so-called quadrivium). Special schools existed for teaching literacy and foreign languages; Following the model of the Kyiv and Novgorod ones, other schools were opened at the courts of Russian princes - for example, in Pereyaslavl, Chernigov, Suzdal, schools were created at monasteries. Schools were not only educational institutions, but also cultural centers; translations of ancient and Byzantine authors were made there, and manuscripts were copied.


In ancient Rus', the majority of the population was not only poorly educated, but also generally illiterate. However, numerous birch bark documents from the 11th–13th centuries have been found, not only in Veliky Novgorod, but also in other ancient Russian cities; Their content shows that their authors were people of very different social status, including merchants, artisans, even peasants; there were also letters written by women. Even the letter, which served as a school notebook for the child, has been preserved. There are other direct and indirect evidence regarding the widespread spread of literacy in Ancient Rus'. The decline of the cultural life of Ancient Rus' as a result of the Tatar-Mongol invasion (as is known, most of the Old Russian manuscripts perished at this time) also affected education. From being mainly secular, it became almost exclusively spiritual (monastic). It was the Orthodox monasteries that played at this time (XIII–XV centuries) the role of guardians and disseminators of Russian education.


The only limitation to education was the reluctance of the parents or their sheer poverty, which did not allow them to pay the teacher anything for educating their child. It all begins with the arrival of children in the morning at a special house - a school. A student who came to school early in the morning had to spend the whole day there, until the bell rang for the evening service, which was the signal for the end of classes. The teaching began with the answer to the lesson studied the day before. When the lesson was told by everyone, the entire “squad” performed a common prayer before further classes. Then the students approached the headman, who gave them the books they were to study from, and sat down at a common long student table. Each one took the place assigned to him by the teacher.


Books, being the property of the school, constituted its main value. The attitude towards the book was reverent and respectful. It was required that the students, having “closed the book,” always put it with the seal facing up and did not leave “indicative trees” (pointers) in it, did not unbend it too much and did not leaf through it in vain. It was strictly forbidden to place books on the bench, and at the end of the lesson the books had to be given to the headman. It was forbidden for students to talk outside the school about what was happening in it. The students had to “add up the school”: sweep away the rubbish, wash the floors, benches and tables, change the water in the vessels under the “light” - a stand for a torch. Lighting the school with the same torch was also the responsibility of the students, as was firing the stoves. The head of the school “team” assigned students to such work (in modern language, on duty) in shifts.


The instructions urge students not to fight, not to play pranks, and not to steal. It is especially strictly prohibited to make noise in and around the school itself. In general, discipline in the ancient Russian school was strong and severe. The whole day was clearly outlined by rules, even drinking water was allowed only three times a day, and “going to the yard for the sake of need” was only possible with the permission of the headman only a few times. In the school of Ancient Rus', lazy, careless and obstinate students were punished with rods


So, the students were constantly at school for most of the day. In order to have the opportunity to rest or be absent on necessary matters, the teacher chose an assistant from among his students, called the headman. The role of the headman in the internal life of the then school was extremely important. After the teacher, the headman was the second person in the school; he was even allowed to replace the teacher himself. Therefore, the choice of a headman for both the student “squad” and the teacher was the most important matter.


One headman and two of his assistants were selected from the students, since the range of responsibilities of the “chosen ones” was unusually wide. They monitored the progress of school in the absence of the teacher and even had the right to punish those responsible for violating the order established in the school. They listened to the lessons of younger schoolchildren, collected and gave out books, monitored their safety and proper handling. They were in charge of "leave to the yard" and drinking water. Finally, they managed the heating, lighting and cleaning of the school. The headman and his assistants represented the teacher in his absence, and in his presence - his trusted assistants. The headmen carried out all the management of the school without any reporting to the teacher. Conclusions: School of Ancient Rus'.

While working on this project, we set ourselves the goal of finding out how peers from the past learned to read and write.

We searched the archives and open sources for a long time for candidates for such an excursion, but it so happened that the undisputed winner was a boy Onfim



Onfim lived in the 13th century

V Veliky Novgorod .

And although Onfim and I are separated by almost 800 years,

we have a lot in common.


Posts by Onfim – valuable evidence of primary education in Ancient Rus'









Certificate No. 200.

In moments of rest from classes, Onfim draws. And judging by the number of drawings, he loves to draw and paint himself. Onfim is a dreamer, because this is how he presented himself, signing the drawing “ “I am a beast” - “I am a beast.”


"Onfim and his friends"



In summer 1956 a whole bundle of birch bark letters and drawings was found on Nerevsky excavation site. One of Onfim’s drawings served as the prototype for the monument that was erected in September 2015 sculptor Mikhail Yushchenko in Nizhny Novgorod



Onfim is depicted in the guise Archangel Michael, Defender of Veliky Novgorod- Motherland - Russia.


Now you are familiar with Onfim, the oldest and most famous boy in our country. Unfortunately, we don’t know anything about Onfim’s future life, but we really hope that all his childhood dreams came true. It was 800 years ago , but it seems that Onfim is your peer and contemporary. Can you guess why - he is a citizen of our country, just like you.
