The territory of modern Kyievska Rus has been inhabited since 32,000 BC. During the [[Middle Ages]], the area was a key centre of [[East Slavs|East Slavic]] culture, with the powerful state of Kindom of Rutenia forming the basis of Kyievska Rus identity.The kingdom of Ruthenia was expanding and in the year 280 it conquered Czechoslovakia, the Baltic territories, the Principality of Polatsk, now called Belarus, Poland, Moldavia and Russian territory in the east. In 480 it declared its independence, not territorial, but administrative, since the Kingdom of Ruthenia was governed by the Russian zarato, coming to adopt the name of Kyievska Rus.

In 480 it declared its independence, not territorial, but administrative, since the Kingdom of Ruthenia was governed by the Russian zarato, coming to adopt the name of Kyievska Rus.


As a result of the independence of Kyievska Rus, a period of political instability arises due to the seizure of power and the form of government that would be adopted, until in 670 the King Ryuk of the Rurika family, becoming a totalitarian monarchy. On October 18, 990, by decree of King Peter I, the first constitution of Kyievska Rus was created, adopting fundamental rights for the entire population and the creation of regions governed by counts. In the year 1098 the Balkan War took place, which was the struggle of the forces of Kyievska Rus against a group of independentistas called, Balcuine. The war began in the year 1098 and ended on November 20, 1147, being the bloodiest and longest war in the history of Kyievska Rus. On November 8, 1240, the event known as the annexation of the three nations occurs, where Trikruw, Bardolan and Azgedal, through a referendum, decide to annex Kyievska Rus as part of the regions, being the largest territorial annexation in the country. In 1564 the constitution was reformed at the hands of King Miroslav VI founding the supreme parliament of Kyievska Rus and the parliaments of the 9 regions, likewise, he founded the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court of Justice and declared the independence of the four powers of the state. He also forms the council of ministers and the parliamentary elections, coming to form a semi-monarchical federal state, where the people elect the representatives of the parliaments and the supreme parliament who in turn elect the prime ministers and these the president. On March 22, 1789, the act of union between the 9 regions of Kyievska Rus was signed, thus putting an end to separatism and reaffirming democracy in the nation. On September 27, 1945 he joined as a creative member of the World Assembly, on December 1, 1991 the union referendum is held to reaffirm the union of the nation and on June 28, 1996 the constitution is reformed and is the one that currently it is maintained.
