During the sixth and seventh centuries, Scandinavian traders transported goods to and from Constantinople. They traveled through an area of present-day Russia so frequently that communities and a primitive government began to form. These Scandinavians even coined the word Russia. They may have gotten it from the Greek word for red, which was the hair color of many of these Viking traders. Around 855, a Danish man named Rurik became the first Russian king and Kiev became the center of early Russia. A descendant of Rurik, Vladimir I, who ruled from 980 to 1015, converted early Russia to Christianity. Although Kiev’s proximity and contact with Byzantium is largely responsible for the conversion to Christianity, one account states that Vladimir chose Christianity over Islam because he could not accept a religion that rejected alcohol. Kievan Russia declined in the 12th century because of internal problems and the Mongol invasions. Around 1300, the Orthodox Church chose Moscow as its center. As a result, Moscow, originally a region of Russia, began to emerge as an important city. 1. How did the location of Kiev contribute to its rise as the center of early Russia? 2.
