Border Kiev, Pereyaslavl and Chernigov-Seversk lands after the invasion lost the pace of evolution in comparison with their neighbors. The princely elite, terrorized by the Mongols, degraded, urban life declined, and continuous territorial fragmentation intensified. In contrast, the Galicia-Volyn princely branch, which emerged victorious from the war of 1205-1245, managed to lay the foundations of its own powerful state, which existed in the historical arena of Russia for a whole century

Fleeing from the Polovtsian raids and princely strife, which became more frequent after the death of Vladimir Monomakh, part of the population during the 12th century migrated to the calmer Rostov-Suzdal lands, where numerous new cities were founded and grew under the auspices of Yuri Dolgoruky. In 1169, the coalition of Smolensk, Chernigov and Suzdal princes, assembled by Vladimir prince Andrei Bogolyubsky, for the first time in the history of civil strife, subjected Kiev to defeat. A new defeat of the city took place in 1203. After the invasion of Batu in 1237-1240 and the pogrom of Kiev (1240), the city fell into desolation. In the second half of the XIII century, Kiev was ruled by the governors of Vladimir [85], and later by the Horde Baskaks and local provincial princes, the names of most of whom are unknown

Under Yaroslav the Wise, churches were erected in Kiev, a library was opened, a code of laws was published - Russkaya Pravda. Deprived of inheritance rights (see law of the law), representatives of the branching dynasty of Rurikovich fought for power in certain parts of the state, often entering into alliances with the Polovtsians who settled the southern Russian steppes in the 11th century. The rights of local dynasties were recognized at the Lyubech Congress (1097), there is a gradual disintegration of Kievan Rus with the formation of a number of principalities, on the territory of modern Ukraine there are Kiev, Volyn, Chernigov (southwestern regions of the principality), Pereyaslavl, and also Galicia (from 1140), united in 1199 with Volyn into a single Galicia-Volyn principality, which existed until 1392, the Kiev principality took a special place, which was due to the position of Kiev as the "oldest" reign for all Russian lands and principalities

By 882 in Kiev, according to the chronicle, the princes Askold and Dir ruled. Prince Oleg of Novgorod in 882 captured Kiev, killing his princes, and moved his capital there from Novgorod - Kiev became the capital of the Old Russian state, which included in its composition the lands along the trade route "from the Varangians to the Greeks" north to Ladoga and the lands of the upper Volga basin east to Murom. The newly created state entered into rivalry with the Khazar Kaganate and Byzantium (the wars began as early as 860). Under Olga, the size of the tribute was regulated (see polyudye), under Svyatoslav the power of the Kiev princes extended to all East Slavic tribes and Khazaria was defeated. Under Vladimir, Orthodox Christianity was adopted from Byzantium as the state religion (988) and defensive structures were built on the southern border to fight the Pechenegs.

Thus, in the 16th-18th centuries “Ukraine” becomes the name of a specific geographical region among the names of other historical and ethnographic regions (Volyn, Podolia, Pokut'e, Severshchina, Chervona Rus, Zaporozhye). It is assigned to the Middle Dnieper region (Southern Kiev region and Bratslav region) - a territory controlled by the Cossacks [30]. The inhabitants of this territory began to be called Ukrainians or Ukrainians [31]. The geographical, and not ethnic, connection of this concept is demonstrated by the fact that the servicemen of the Polish gentry in these territories were also called Ukrainians.

This was due to the border location of these territories in the Polish state.
