The inner Principality of Kiev (Old East Slavic: Киевское кънѧжьство, romanized: Kievskoe kŭnęzhĭstvo;[citation needed] Ukrainian: Київське князівство, romanized: Kyivske kniazivstvo; Russian: Киевское княжество, romanized: Kiyevskoye kniazhestvo) was a medieval East Slavic state, situated in central regions of modern Ukraine around the city of Kiev.[1]
The principality was formed during the process of political fragmentation of the Kievan Rus' in the early 12th century. As a result of that process, the effective rule of the Grand Princes of Kiev was gradually reduced to central regions of Kievan Rus' (around its capital city Kiev), thus forming a reduced princely domain, known as the inner Principality of Kiev. It existed as a polity until the middle of the 14th century.
