	Kievan Rus'
		Kievan Rus' was the early Russian state dominated by the city of Kiev from about 860 to the middle of the 12th century.
		Kievan Rus' was not able to maintain its position as a powerful and prosperous state, in part because of the amalgamation of disparate lands under the control of a ruling clan.
		Early in the 14th century, the patriarch of the Orthodox Church[?] in Constantinople granted the rulers of Galicia-Volhynia a metropolitan to compensate for the move of the Kievan metropolitan to Vladimir.

		In the 11th century and the 12th century, the princes and their retinues, which were a mixture of Scandinavian and Slavic elites and small Finno-Ugric and Turkic elements, dominated the society of Kievan Rus'.

	Russia - History
		Kievan Rus', the first East Slavic state, emerged in the ninth century A.D. and developed a complex and frequently unstable political system that flourished until the thirteenth century, when it declined abruptly.
		Among the lasting achievements of Kievan Rus' are the introduction of a Slavic variant of the Eastern Orthodox religion and a synthesis of Byzantine and Slavic cultures.
		But most historians agree that Kievan Rus' was not a homogeneous political, cultural, or ethnic entity and that the Mongols merely accelerated a fragmentation that had begun before the invasion.

	Kievan Rus Database (Class: Princes)
		A senior prince who encroached on a younger ruler's territory was "a second Sviatopolk." The model senior prince, on the other hand, recognized his junior kinsman's rights, kept to his vows, and was not easily provoked, while junior princes who attacked their leaders were condemned for not behaving like Boris and Gleb.
		The prince of Kiev was referred to in Kievan graffiti both as a tsar and as a kaghan, and both titles probably suggest a semi-sacral status.
		What remained was a conical silver mount with geometric granulation that is characteristic of the silverwork of Kievan Rus and four openwork tassles -- they had been attached to the cap that was at least partly made of silk.

	Women's Clothing in Early Rus
		The material culture of early Rus that I will discuss here appears in the historical record in the 10th century, and survives with gradual evolution of styles, until Moscow takes control of the Rus lands in the 15th century.
		Rus had close political, economic, and cultural ties with the Byzantine empire which had a noticeable (but fiercely debated) affect on the form of clothing in Ancient Rus, particulalry for the upper classes.
		At the same time, Rus was not isolated from Europe, the controversial Viking origin of the Rus rulers, the interaction with Finnish neighbors in the north, and trade with Western Europe meant that clothing in Rus was not completely isolated from styles in the rest of Europe.

		However, the ceremonial costumes of the Rus princes were separate and heavily derived from Byzantine styles.
		Comparing the Radzivillovski Chronicle with frescos of Sophia Cathedral of Kiev, one can conclude that the over garment was loose and long, supplemented with "raspashnym" clothing (a type of cape or cloak), a collar, a "podol" (lap of skirt?) and a "styk" (joint?) of fabric which was otorocheny (edged?) with a border.

		1113: The revolution of 1113 represented Kievan effort to prevent Oleg Sviatoslavich, who was the ranking Rurikid of the Chernigov/Tmutarakan branch, from becoming prince of Kiev.
		Consequently the local demagogues in Kiev directed the revolt against the Kievan Jews as local symbols of the threat of foreign subjugation.
		Fearing the domination of Chernigov/Tmutarakan, the Kievans refused to accept the Rurikids of that branch of the dynasty who had at their disposal Jews, experienced in the art of writing and translating, as their rulers.

	Liturgical Music
		After the conversion of the rulers of Kievan Rus' to Christianity (late 10th century), the Greek "Byzantine" chant was adapted to Slavonic texts (we do not know to what extent this may have already been done among the Balkan Slavs).
		The "kondakarion" notation was applied to melodies used for kondaks (short hymnic stanzas that vary according to the day, sung at Matins and at the Liturgy) and to several other categories of hymns, mostly sung at Matins.
		The kondakarian chant vanished from use entirely, but the stolp notation and the znamennyj chant to which it was applied flourished, particularly in Belorussia and in Novgorod and the Russian northwest, and were further developed in the 15th century.

	H-Net Review: Charles J. Halperin on Prince, Saint and Apostle: Prince Vladimir Svjatoslavic of Kiev, his Posthumous ...
		Rejecting claims that Vladimir's conversion resulted in a mass baptism of the Rus' to Orthodox Christianity is the key to Korpela's argument that Kievan Rus' remained open to Catholic religious influence after Vladimir's death.
		Korpela brings to bear upon his analysis of Kievan Rus' a profound appreciation of medieval and East European history, and an extensive knowledge of the historiography, including works in Scandinavian languages and, of course, Finnish, probably less well known to an American audience, with which he carries on a continuing dialogue in his footnotes.
		Korpela draws on Franklin's critical analysis of knowledge of Greek in Kievan Rus', and Thompson's revisionist conclusions on the extent of intellectual borrowing from Byzantium.
