******GK: Here's a demonstration of the appalling
incompetence of these ideologizing mathematicians (and
chess grandmasters). In the June 2001 conference at
Ruespe (Germany) the following "information" was made
available to participants:
"Both in Germany and Russia the largest penalty -
Wergelt - ought to be paid not for the murder of a
free man or treason but for horse-stealing."
I haven't checked the Germanic situation (perhaps
someone can supplete if interested), but IF by
"Russia" is meant the territories of Old Rus', and IF
the epoch envisaged is the 11th/12th centuries (as
seems implied by previous statements) then the
contention cited above is exceedingly out of touch
with reality. According to the Short Pravda's pre-1069
provisions, the penalty for killing a man was 40
hrivna (grivna), and for stealing a horse -- 3
h(g)rivna. The disparity between murder and horse
theft was made even greater in the Extended Pravda of
ca. 1118. The sum of 3 hr. was retained for the horse,
but you now had to pay 80 hr. blood-money for a
man.******
