Abstract
The territory of the Ukraine of today originated from the cultural centre of Kiev in the High Middle Ages, being the main town and power centre of the Kyivan Rus. After the Mongolians had left, Poland-Lithuania seized large parts of the Ukraine (literally ‘borderland’). During the seventeenth century the Kozaks rebelled against the Polish reign. Part of the territory came to Russia. Finally the territory of Ukraine was incorporated into Russia in 1781.
