DID YOU KNOW THAT
Russia started in Kiev - the modern capital of Ukraine and the ancient capital of Kievan Rus.
It was the first East Slavic State – not Empire, Kingdom, or Tsarstvo (Царство).
Kievan Rus State existed for 400 years. At its peak in the 11 century, it stretched from the White Sea to the Black Sea, from Poland to the Taman Peninsula on the Azov Sea.
Kievan Rus’ currency was Grivna (now used by Ukraine) and the legal code was the Russkaya Pravda or Russian Justice.
Kievan Rus died at the end of 1240 when Mongols sieged Kiev just in 8 days.
