The History of Kievan Rus
Kievan Rus, often referred to simply as Rus, was a medieval East Slavic state that existed from the late 9th century to the 13th century. This historic region, centered around the city of Kiev, played a crucial role in shaping the early history of Eastern Europe. The history of Kievan Rus is a rich tapestry of political, cultural, and social developments that left a lasting impact on the region and laid the foundation for modern-day Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. This text will take you on a journey through the fascinating history of Kievan Rus, exploring its origins, expansion, cultural achievements, and ultimate decline. The origins of Kievan Rus can be traced back to the late 9th century when a group of East Slavic tribes began to coalesce around the city of Kiev. The primary source of information about this period is the "Primary Chronicle," also known as the "Tale of Bygone Years" or "The Chronicle of Nestor." Compiled in the early 12th century, this chronicle provides valuable insights into the early history of the region. The legendary figure credited with the establishment of Kievan Rus is Prince Rurik, who, according to the Primary Chronicle, was invited to rule over the Slavic tribes in the area. Rurik's arrival marked the beginning of a dynasty known as the Rurikid dynasty, which would rule over Kievan Rus for centuries. The 10th and 11th centuries are often referred to as the "Golden Age" of Kievan Rus. During this period, the state expanded its territory, established a stable governance system, and embraced Christianity. Prince Vladimir the Great (ruled 980-1015): Vladimir is perhaps the most renowned ruler of Kievan Rus. He converted to Christianity in 988, adopting Eastern Orthodox Christianity as the state religion. This conversion marked a profound cultural and religious transformation for the region, as it brought the Byzantine Christian tradition to Kievan Rus. Yaroslav the Wise (ruled 1019-1054): Yaroslav, the son of Vladimir, is remembered for his legal reforms and the compilation of the "Russkaya Pravda" (Rus' Justice), a legal code that helped standardize laws and regulations within the state. His reign also saw an increase in cultural activity, with the construction of impressive churches and the establishment of the first East Slavic library in Kiev. Iaropolk II (ruled 1015-1019): Iaropolk II, while ruling briefly, faced challenges from his brothers and neighboring states, which ultimately weakened the unity of Kievan Rus. The 12th century marked a period of decline and fragmentation for Kievan Rus. Several factors contributed to this decline, including internal strife, external invasions, and the emergence of regional power centers.

What Did Our Prophet Used To Wear?. Content Warning.
Our Prophet ﷺ would not wear monotype clothing all the time. In general, He would wear a “harmani.” He used black, leather socks that Negus sent him. The end of His turban would sometimes hang down towards His blessed chest and sometimes towards His shoulders. His turban would mostly be black. He used to wear a cap under His turban. He never wore a pointed cap or coif. He said “What makes us different from the polytheists is that we wear a cap under the turban.”
