The heroine of the famous play by M.P. Pogodin (1880-1875) Martha Boretskaya, known as Martha Posadnitsa, was never and could not be formally "posadnitsa". Such a nickname was just an evil mockery of Muscovites over the state system of the original republic - Veliky Novgorod.
Being a widow of a rich landowner and herself owned vast lands along the banks of the Dvina and the Student Sea, she first appears on the political stage of Novgorod in 1470, during the elections of the new Archbishop of Novgorod. Pimen’s supported by her does not receive a dignity, and the chosen Feofil is dedicated to Moscow, and not in Kyiv, as the Lithuanian party wanted.
Martha and her son, the Novgorod Society Posadnik Dmitry, in 1471 advocated the exit of Novgorod on dependence on Moscow, established by the Yazhelbitsky world (1456) Martha was an informal leader of the boyar opposition to Moscow. Having significant cash, she negotiated with the Grand Duke of Lithuania and King of Poland Casimir IV on the entry of Novgorod into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania on the rights of autonomy while maintaining the political rights of Novgorod
