The period of Kievan Rus was a prosperous age of East Slavic national civilization, and the capital of Kiev was also the cradle of medieval Eastern European civilization. At this time, Kiev was already the "mother of the Rus cities", and the area where Ukraine is located today is the "Central Plain" of Kievan Rus. Kievan Rus reached its heyday during the reign of Grand Duke (ie monarch) Yaroslav I (Ярослав I Владимирович Мудрый). Its territory included today's Ukraine, Belarus and parts of Russia (including Moscow), in the Balkans, the Baltic coast and Scandinavia The peninsula also has a place. From the end of the 9th century to the beginning of the 13th century, it continued to expand and became the most powerful country in Eastern Europe. At the end of the 9th century BC, Kievan Rus, a feudal kingdom established by the Vikings and dominated by the East Slavs, became the master here. It was not until the 5th century AD that the ancient Slavs, one of the predecessors of the modern Ukrainian race, began to rule this vast plain. In the long ancient history, the region where Ukraine is located today has experienced the settlement, conflict and occupation of different ethnic groups.
