Kievan Rus Kievan Rus posessed rival princes who set up regional gov't trying to over throw the throne. The final blow in the first chapter of Russian history came in 1237-1238 and 1240-1241 when two invasions by mongols moved through Russia. Called tatars in Russian tradition, the invaders were quickly dispised. For over two centries Russia remained under tatar control. This control further seperated Russian history from that of western Europe. However, Tatar control was finally forced out in the second half of the fifteenth centry. Rus' Facts: Yaroslav I the Wise (c. 978 - February 20, 1054) (East Slavic: Ярослав Мудрый; Christian name: George; Old Norse: Jarizleifr) was thrice Grand Prince of Novgorod and Kiev, uniting the two principalities for a time under his rule. During his lengthy reign, Kievan Rus' reached a zenith of its cultural flowering and military power. He codified the law and, through marriage alliances, positioned Kiev strategically within a network of powerful states establishing conditions that resulted in almost two centuries of peace and prosperity for his people. Civil war, though, disrupted this after his death as his heirs disputed the succession. He consolidated ties with the Byzantine Church, asking the Patriarch of Constantinople to appoint a Metropolitan for whom he build a Cathedral.
