Historically Novgoard was a major trading power in the baltic eventually Novgoard became a major cultural and economic site for traders and travelers coming from the baltic to byzantium. Eventually due to the city states inability to feed it's population the the city state was eventually taken control over by moscow and ryazan.
My question is how can Novgoard shake of it's dependance on grain from the other city states and how can it eventually become the city state that unites all Russians and not Moscow?
