Note: Kievan Rus´,[a][b] also known as Kyivan Rus'[c] (Old East Slavic: Роусь, romanized: Rusĭ, or ро́усьскаѧ землѧ́, rusĭskaę zemlę, 'Rus´ land'; Old Norse: Garðaríki), was a state and later an amalgam of principalities in Eastern and Northern Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century.[10] Encompassing a variety of polities and peoples, including East Slavic, Norse,[11][12] and Finnic, it was ruled by the Rurik dynasty, founded by the Varangian prince Rurik.[13] The modern nations of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine all claim Kievan Rus´ as their cultural ancestor,[d] with Belarus and Russia deriving their names from it. At its greatest extent in the mid-11th century, Kievan Rus´ stretched from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from the headwaters of the Vistula in the west to the Taman Peninsula in the east,[15][16] uniting the East Slavic tribes.[10]
