metadata.value: The expansion of the Muscovite State to Novgorod and Pskov lands in the late fifteenth — early
  sixteenth century was followed by the spread of the process of state building in the newly
  incorporated territories. These processes started in Muscovy itself at the same time, in the
  late fifteenth century. The creation of the communication net provided by the central power
  played a major role in the processes. The system of state roads appeared in order to provide
  uninterrupted communication for military and diplomatic aims. New roads with a special
  system of “yam” distances served mostly to transport troops and escort embassies. The road
  system organized in Muscovy in the late fifteenth — early sixteenth century directly stemmed
  from military and diplomatic needs, and was part of shaping the Early Modern state system.
  It connected Novgorod the Great with the most important fortresses and with the border.
  During the political crisis of the early seventeenth century, the trunk road system was thoroughly
  supported by any current authorities. Military events stimulated authorities to increase
  their control over the roads: a system of outposts was developed at the time. By 1616–1617,
  however, the mobilization potential of Novgorod government had been exhausted. Some years
  after the Stolbovo Treaty of 1617, the overland trunk roads came into decline. A reliable connection
  between Novgorod and Moscow was provided by circular river routes bypassing the
  devastated lands. Only since early 1620s, the process of restoring the main trunk roads in
  Novgorod land had started.
