BACKGROUND

Background
i. Kiev
The cosmopolitan, Christian culture of Kiev, 'the mother of Russian
cities,' from the conversion of Prince Vladimir in 988 to the Mongol sack of
Kiev in 1240. The uncritical adoption by Kievan Rus' of the artistic forms
and sense of special destiny of the Byzantine 'second golden age.' The love
of beauty and preoccupation with history; the building of the new city under
Yaroslav the Wise (grand-prince of Kiev, 1019-54); the movement north
under Andrew Bogoliubsky (grand-prince of Vladimir-Suzdal, 1157-74).
