Kyiv is recorded as a capital from the late 9th–10th centuries: the Primary Chronicle places Oleh’s transfer of the seat to Kyiv under the year 882. Moscow first appears in a chronicle on 4 April 1147, when Yuri Dolgoruky invites Sviatoslav Olhovych “to Moskov.”
On Ukrainian area (between the Southern Bug and the Dnipro), around 4100–3500 BCE, the Cucuteni–Trypillia culture built huge planned settlements. They were concentric “proto-cities” with rings of houses and a large inner space — larger than most contemporary Mesopotamian sites.

Kharkiv began as a Cossack fortress. In 1654 settlers from the Right Bank founded an ostroh there; the town later became the centre of the Kharkiv Cossack regiment.
Lviv’s first written mention is in the Galician–Volhynian Chronicle, in the account of a fire at Kholm in autumn 1256. Under Lev Danylovych in the 1270s Lviv replaced Halych as the capital of Rus (Kyiv was destroyed by Gold Horde).
French engineer Guillaume Le Vasseur de Beauplan in the 1630s–40s and mapped the Dnipro lands. In 1648 his General Map of Ukraine appeared (Delineatio Generalis… vulgo Ukraina). In 1651 came Description d’Ukranie: Kyiv, the Cossacks, towns, Crimea and local customs.
In 1253 knyaz Danylo Romanovych was crowned by the papal legate Opizo. He received the title King of Rus. Pope Innocent IV recognized the coronation. After the Mongol sack of Kyiv in 1240, the Galicia-Volhynia principality was the largest remaining Rus’ realm in the west.
@VirginiePerez15 Openly justifying terrorists, genocides, and modern-day Nazis while serving as a member of the EU Parliament? What is wrong with this world?
@pcmt7591 Well, Russians call everyone whores without exception—I’m used to that. Conservative Ukrainians are also often unhappy, saying that beautiful women play into the hands of propaganda.
