Abstract:
Of course, that accounts for the highest flowering of Chernigov was in the Old Rus' era. This process was interrupted by the events in the autumn of 1239, when the city was destroyed by mongols armies. Since then began its decline. In the second half of the 14th century Chernihiv was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The new rulers have resumed a small part of the ancient fortifications, which was called the Upper Castle. These fortifications have performed two functions: the feudal castle and the town’s citadel.

Furthermore, methodological capability to use quantitative indexes for the analysis of qualitative changes in a town social life is defined through the example of the historical urbanistic research. Under the conditions of archival sources scarcity, much less narrative ones, statistical information acts as the basis for the reconstruction of the town past, for the study of the continuous alternations at all the stages of its development. The causes and effects of these changes are analysed basically in terms of time frames distinguished in the article heading.

The description of the townsmen mentality which goes beyond genre uniformity of statistical data is rather remarkable.
