metadata.value: In answer to question of the appropriateness of using the term «tribe» in relation to the Slavic
  societies of the early Middle Ages, A. Gorskiy and A. Pleterski said that they did not use the term in this
  context, while V. Puzanov said that he uses the term to refer to both Slavic pre-state formations in general
  and those Slavic ethnic groups that based their cohesion on real or fictitious kinship. P. Shuvalov said that
  he prefers to use the term «tribe» rather as a literary concept, than a scientific term. According to Gorskiy,
  the use of the term «tribe» in reference to the early medieval Slavs is incorrect because, first, the word is not
  used in this sense in primary sources, and, second, the Slavs in the early Middle Ages were at the stage of
  chiefdoms, and not at that of tribes. A. Pleterski, while pointing out that many Slavic tribal names are only
  attested in late sources and mainly the result of the identification from the outside, thinks that the basic social
  unit of the early Slavs was župa (zhupa). According to Pleterski, župa as the basic unit of the early Slavic
  society was a social, economic, religious and legal entity. Puzanov points to the uncertainty of correlation
  of the terms «tribe» and «chiefdom» in relation to the early medieval Slavs, noting that in historiography
  the term chiefdom used to be used to what was known earlier «tribal principality». Meanwhile, Puzanov
  notes, the presence of a («tribal») leader does not automatically mean that the question is of a chiefdom. In
  answer to the question of mechanisms of the emergence and reproduction of tribal identities in the Slavic
  community, Shuvalov said that in contrast to the Germanic tribes, Slavs, apparently, had no strong traditions
  of aristocratic ancestral memory with its emphasis on proximity to the world of gods. According to Shuvalov, the princely power among the Slavs in what concerned the formation of their tribal identities based
  on the folk presentation of history as well as the memory of three to five previous generations within the
  real ancestral memory.
