Veche

Pskov Veche by Apollinary Vasnetsov (1908–1909)

A veche[a] was a popular assembly during the Middle Ages. The veche is mentioned during the times of Kievan Rus' and it later became a powerful institution in Russian cities such as Novgorod and Pskov,[1] where the veche acquired great prominence and was broadly similar to the Norse thing or the Swiss Landsgemeinde.[2]
