Kievan Chronicle
The ''Kievan Chronicle'' or ''Kyivan Chronicle'' is a chronicle of Kievan Rus'. It was written around 1200 in Vydubychi Monastery as a continuation of the ''Primary Chronicle''.

It covers the period from 1118, where the ''Primary Chronicle'' ends, until about 1200, although scholars disagree where exactly the ''Kievan Chronicle'' ends and the ''Galician–Volhynian Chronicle'' begins.

Virgin Of Vladimir
The Virgin of Vladimir, also known as Vladimir Mother of God, Our Lady of Vladimir (), is a 12th-century Byzantine icon depicting the Virgin and Child and an early example of the ''Eleusa'' iconographic type.

It was sent to Kiev as a gift before being transferred to the Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir. It is traditionally said that the icon did not leave Vladimir until 1395, when it was brought to Moscow to protect the city from an invasion by Timur, although the historical accuracy of this claim is uncertain.

Due to its dominance and conflicts within itself, the branch was subdivided into three major factions: the sons of Mstislav I of Kiev, Izyaslavichi and Rostislavichi; and the sons of Yuri Dolgorukiy, Yurievichi. The split occurred in the 12th century. By that time, Kievan Rus' has already lost its control over the Principality of Polotsk (Iziaslavichi, later Vseslavichi) and the Principality of Halych (Romanovichi), which were self-governed by other branches of the Rurikid dynasty.
