written in 1100s, telling of the people in mid-800AD Constant fighting, invited the Rus (northern Europeans) to
govern Oleg- 2nd ruler

State weakened internally from land-owning princeso New Grand Prince Andrew Bogolyubsky moves central
city away from Kiev (places family in Kiev) Power no longer centralized, easy to attack Attacked by:
o 1. Mongols(from east under Genghis Khan)- 1223 and were defeated. Kiev falls in 1240 to Mongols.• Alexander Nevsky- encouraged Rus not to rebel against Mongols• Mongols didn’t destroy as much as they did elsewhere as a result
o 2. Swedes (from north) in 1240 for trade routes • Alexander Nevsky- surprise attack on Swedes, Rus won!
o 3. Teutonic Knights (Germanic military order)- • wanted Rus to convert to Catholicism• 1242- Alex. Nevsky saves Rus again by a “massacre on ice”
o 4. The Tartars- ruled Rus after Mongols, until 1480• Central Asian nomads, spoke Turkish, were Muslims,
