Nicephorus II Of Kiev
Nicephorus II or Nikephoros II was the Metropolitan of Kiev and All-Rus' from 1183 to 1198. Of a Hellenic descent, his stay on the Metropolitan episcopal cathedra was marked by increasingly complex events of inter-princely relations and contradictions. One of the first acts that very clearly revealed such problems was the appointment of Nicholas the Greek to the Rostov bishopric by Metropolitan Nicephorus II in 1183. This event was even recorded by the Chronicle, which eloquently presented the reasons for the prince's antipathy towards the new metropolitan: "In the same year 183the bishop of Polotsk, named Dionysius, died, and we will therefore talk about this. When Leon, the bishop of Rostov, died, Nicholas the Greek was presented as bishop. But Vsevolod Yurievich, the prince of Suzdal, did not accept him, and sent n envoyto Kiev to Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich and to Metropolitan Nicephorus, saying: “The people of our land did not elect this one. And if you have appointed hi ...

Metropolitan Of Kiev And All-Rus'
The Metropolis of Kiev and all Rus' (; ) was a Metropolis (religious jurisdiction), metropolis of the Eastern Orthodox Church that was erected on the territory of Kievan Rus'. It existed between 988 AD and 1590s AD. The long lasting "tug of war" between bishops from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Ruthenia and bishops of the Principality of Moscow resulted in reorganization of the metropolis as the bishops from Moscow refused to recognize decisions of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. Canon law of the Eastern Orthodox Church, Canonically, it was under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. The metropolitan seat (''cathedra'') was located in the city of Kiev until it was moved to Vladimir, Russia, Vladimir-na-Klyazme in 1299 and then Moscow in 1325. The metropolis was later revived in the territory of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth from 1620 AD to 1686 AD as an exarchate of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Again, to ...

Year Of Death Unknown
A year is a unit of time based on how long it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. In scientific use, the tropical year (approximately 365 solar days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 45 seconds) and the sidereal year (about 20 minutes longer) are more exact. The modern calendar year, as reckoned according to the Gregorian calendar, approximates the tropical year by using a system of leap years. The term 'year' is also used to indicate other periods of roughly similar duration, such as the lunar year (a roughly 354-day cycle of twelve of the Moon's phasessee lunar calendar), as well as periods loosely associated with the calendar or astronomical year, such as the seasonal year, the fiscal year, the academic year, etc. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by changes in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons ar ...

Tale Of Bygone Years
The ''Primary Chronicle'', shortened from the common ''Russian Primary Chronicle'' (, commonly transcribed ''Povest' vremennykh let'' (PVL), ), is a chronicle of Kievan Rus' from about 850 to 1110. It is believed to have been originally compiled in or near Kiev in the 1110s. Tradition ascribed its compilation to the monk Nestor (''Nestor's Chronicle'') beginning in the 12th century, but this is no longer believed to have been the case. The title of the work, ("Tale of Bygone Years") comes from the opening sentence of the ''Laurentian'' text: "These are the narratives of bygone years regarding the origin of the land of Rus', the first princes of Kiev, and from what source the land of Rus' had its beginning". The work is considered a fundamental source for the earliest history of the East Slavs. The content of the chronicle is known today from the several surviving versions and codices, revised over the years, slightly varying from one another. Because of several identified ch ...
