The Novgorod Republic (Russian: Новгородская республика / Novgorodskaya respublika Old Church Slavonic: Новгородская земьля / Novgorodskaya zemlja) was a large medieval Russian state which stretched from the Baltic Sea to the Ural Mountains between the 12th and 15th centuries, centred on the city of Novgorod. Citizens referred to their city-state as "His Majesty (or Sovereign) Lord Novgorod the Great" (Gosudar' Gospodin Velikiy Novgorod), or more often as "Lord Novgorod the Great" (Gospodin Velikiy Novgorod). The Republic prospered as the easternmost port of the Hanseatic League.
