The choice of term depends on the context. If it is fully explained later, there is no need to diverge from the author’s intention.

Princely era (kniazha doba). The term used by non–Soviet Ukrainian historians, and some Russian historians, to designate a 500-year period in the Middle Ages when the East Slavic princes held political power over the territory of present-day Ukraine.

The Kievan Period

Paul Robert Magosci uses this term in his A History of Ukraine - The Land and Its Peoples to describe this period (circa 850 - 1350).

Orest Subtelny in his book Ukraine, A History calls it Kievan Rus'. He also uses the term 'Kievan period' but only until 1240 when Kiev was destroyed by the Mongols.
Note from asker:
This term is actually used alongside Княжа доба in my source. So unfortunately, I can’t use it. But thank you for your suggestion! Much appreciated!

it is mirror image of the gates of the Kievan Rus period but is not a monument of the time.

he considered Christianization to be the beginning of the end of the Kievan Rus period
