Do you love Novgorod Republic?

I make them a vassal as Denmark in EU4 after Moscow eats them up, so that I can reconquer their territory before annexing them.

I don't think they would, but it will be better if they continued to exist as buffer between Russia and Scandinavia

I'm not sure if they would have tried to explore anything that far east, a merchant republic had different priorities than an autocratic monarchy where the ruler wanted to increase his power by conquering land no matter what costs his people would have to bear

would be interesting to have two different Russian states, kinda like North and South Korea except North Russia would be more developed than the southern counterpart.

So what kind of "Republic" was it really?

a merchant republic, i would know because i played EVROPA VNIVERSALIS IV

The USA was expansionist just like Roman republic and Novgorod republic wasn't a small trading polity

Oligarchic + democratic

No I dont love permafrosted tundras that export a few furs and are generally poor and depopulated

This.

Where in Russia could I go to see authentic papers or artifacts of the Novgorod republic?
Any museum?

Was life of common people better than in other places at least?

Muscovites turn into shit everything they touch.

The USA had a strong federal government and the executive that pushed for it. Whether Novgorod Republic would've had the same is debatable.

Is there still anything of the Novgorod culture left? Do people who live in Novgorod preserved some medieval traditions, dialects or they're the same Russians like everyone else. Is Petersburg a heir of Novgorod culture in some way?

I would like to see censuses or tax papers of Novgorod republic or supplies of grain etc..

Dunno, moscow basically seized everything they had, even citizens were drove to moscow.

There were many migrations from south and finnic lands so I guess it was. They at least were literate, even women and peasants, unlike other medieval europeans
no, most people migrated there in soviet times

But I heard there are some dialectal features typical for people from Novgorod area like pronouncing unaccented "o" like "o" (instead of "a" like in standard Russian)

There was census in mongol times, but i can't find this
It's common northern feature. Novgorodian had features that can be sign of their early isolation from proto-slavic continuum like absence of second palatalization
