'''Kievan Rus′''' was the early, mostly East Slavic{{fn|1}} state dominated by the city of [[Kiev]], from about [[880]] to the middle of the [[12th century]]. The reigns of [[Vladimir the Great]] ([[980]]-[[1015]]) and his son [[Yaroslav I the Wise]] ([[1019]]-[[1054]]) constitute the [[Golden Age]] of Kiev, which saw the acceptance of [[Orthodox Christianity]] and the creation of the first East Slavic written legal code, the ''[[Russkaya Pravda]]''.
