"Baptism of the Kievites". Painting by Claudius Lebedev
In Russia, the ownership of the Kiev grand-ducal table belonged (at least theoretically) to the eldest in the family and provided supreme power over the appanage princes. Kiev remained the real political center of Kievan Rus, at least until the death of Vladimir Monomakh and his son Mstislav the Great (in 1132). During the period of fragmentation, Kiev formally continued to be considered the senior table and served as a constant object of struggle between powerful princes. A serious blow to the city was struck by the capture and plundering by the troops of the Vladimir prince Andrei Bogolyubsky in 1169, which became the first case in history of the ruin of the grand princely throne [51], and the pogrom by the troops of the Smolensk prince Rurik Rostislavovich in 1203. In 1240 Kiev was plundered and destroyed by the Mongol-Tatars. In the future, the Kiev principality continued to exist under the Mongol-Tatar yoke, the Rurikovichs continued to rule it, but they received reign under the label

According to the Tale of Bygone Years, at the end of the 9th century, Askold and Dir, who were the warriors of Prince Rurik, began to reign in Kiev. In 882, Kiev was conquered by a relative of Rurik, Prince of Novgorod Oleg, who moved his residence there, saying: "with budi m͠t (and) city Russkꙑm". From that moment on, Kiev became the capital of Russia.

Another part of the researchers indicates that the discovered archaeological sources do not provide sufficient grounds for the proposed interpretation [48] and believes, as before, that the formation of Kiev as a suburban settlement took place in the VIII-X centuries. And at the turn of the 7th-8th centuries Kiev, in terms of the level of socio-economic development in comparison with the synchronous Pastoral settlement in the Cherkasy region, was an ordinary settlement and could not be a "tribal center", as in the subsequent Volyntsev period [49]. Only in the 10th century did separate settlements on Zamkovaya Gora, Podil and Starokievskaya Gora merge into a single urban settlement

The Iron Age on the territory of modern Kiev and the Kiev region is represented by the Chernyakhov archaeological culture, which is also called the "Kiev culture" and which existed at the turn of the 2nd-3rd centuries - the turn of the 4th-5th centuries in the forest-steppe and steppe from the Lower Danube in the west to the left bank of the Dnieper and Chenigovshchina in the east.
According to church tradition, in the middle of the 1st century, the Apostle Andrew the First-Called erected a cross on the site of the modern St. Andrew's Church, which marked the descent of God's grace on this land [45].
Matei Stryjkovsky said that he had read the "Kiev Chronicle" of the early 11th century, which was taken from Kiev in 1018 by the Polish king Boleslav I the Brave. This chronicle allegedly said that a fortified city on the site of Kiev had existed since 430. The same date is reported by the Brief Chronicler, a source of the second half of the 17th century, considered unreliable, but having interesting legends

Archaeological excavations show that settlements on the territory of the Kiev region existed already 15,000-25,000 years ago (Kirillovskaya site) [44]. The period of the Neolithic and Eneolithic (Copper Age) is represented by the Trypillian culture, the monuments and periods of which researchers divide into three stages: early (4500-3500 BC), middle (3500-2750 BC) and late (2750- 2000 BC). For the Bronze Age, the territories of the southwestern part are characterized by the Belohrudov culture. The Zarubinets culture is characteristic of the north-west of the Kiev region of the second half of the 1st millennium BC. e. - the first half of the 1st millennium A.D. e.

Metropolitan Hilarion, in his "Word of Law and Grace", compared Sophia of Kiev with the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. Also in the "Tale of Bygone Years" Yaroslav the Wise, when describing the construction of St. Sophia, was compared with King Solomon. This has been interpreted by many researchers as likening Kiev to the New Jerusalem. As it was with Constantinople [18] [19] [20] [21]. According to B.A. Uspensky, this is evident from the relationship of St. Sofia, the cities of Kiev and Constantinople with the Temple of Wisdom in Jerusalem, as well as the Golden Gate in three cities [22]. As IN Danilevsky writes, already in the XI-XII centuries there was an idea in Russia that Kiev was the New Jerusalem [23]. The historian Mikhail B. Sverdlov disagrees with this concept. He believes that the construction of the temples of St. Sophia, St. Irene and St. George, as well as their Byzantine architecture, the Golden Gate - all this goes back to the tradition of Constantinople, but not to Jerusalem.
