this land.

In the first millennium A.C. at the territory of the modern Kiev region
the main body of the Polianie tribe that resided along the middle Dnipro
between the Ros’ and the Irpen rivers was shaped. Other Slav tribes
concentrated around it. The completion of this process resulted in
creation of the Rus State with its centre in Kiev, which was named by a
chronicler as the “Mother of Russian towns”.

The genial work of literature – “The Story of Ihor’s Squad” – written by
a participant in battles against Polovets tribes near Pereiaslav in 1187
is closely associated with the Kiev land. The Kiev land was the
ethnographic centre where the process of Ukrainian nation formation was
going on, it was the origin of Ukrainian Cossacks.

courageous Severyn Nalyvaiko was a vivid page in the history of struggle
of Ukrainian and Bilorrusian peoples against merciless exploitation and
enslaving of peasants, against expansion of Polish feudals and Catholic
church.
