The Kievan Period


Explanation:
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.
