Abstract
Attempts of Kyivska Rus history observations are represented in the article on the basis of literature analysis . Article also determines reasons of choice of Galytsko-Volynske principality as a main developer of civilizational and governmental progress on Ukrainian territory in difficult ХІІІth century. The main reason of Ruirikovytch ruling family disintegration was option of own development, legal order and civilizational creation ways. Galytsko-Volynske and Rostovo-Suzdalske principalities became centers of new governmental projects on the ruins of old, powerful, Eastern European empire. Heads of these principalities - Danylo Romanovytch Galytskiy and Olexander Yaroslavovytch Nevskiy determined directions of civilizational development on the controlled areas. Olexander and Danylo had to choose the model of their principalities evolution despite of having external enemies such as Mongols, Hungarians, Polish, Teutons and internal enemies, among them were representatives of local nobles. So that meant that princes had to conduct the correlation of civilizational development option of Russ for the next decades. Such correlation was implemented during Mongolian and Aftermongolian periods. Changes concerned measures of force using to controlled population, subjects who were able to use such force, development of Orthodoxy and sacred and religious reasoning of powers of the prince and other ruling subjects. Innovations were implemented because of consolidated needs of separated areas, centralization of government and capability of Mongolian domination opposition. Moreover, changes were accompanied by the revision of byzantine and religious filling of princely, ruling method, which existed in Russ. Danylo chose eastern type of state and society evolution but Olexander preferred Mongolian centralized autocracy. As a result, peculiar type of state was formed and determined the development of areas for centuries in Galytsko-Volynska Russ and Northeastern principalities in advance. Civilizational choice of Volodymyr-Suzdal principalities leaded to despotic, centralized, horde, byzantine and moscow statehood formation in Northeastern Russ. This type of statehood was supported by orthodox hierarchs, who were coaxed by Mongolian khans, and promoted Mongolian policy and way of ruling. Conversely, Danylo Romanovytch selected eastern method of Slavonic civilization and state progress. Roman Mstyslavovytch and his son Danylo Romanovytch united Southwestern and Southern principalities an gained titles ‘autocrat of all Russ’ and king of Russ from chroniclers. Both princes aimed to become collectors of Russ’s lands and to continue affairs of Ruirikovytch dynasty. Danylo was focused on eastern ruling tradition and attempted to integrate his principality into European civilizational governmental type of development of those times. Family connections of Romanovytch dynasty also facilitated that integration. New legal agreements between prince and local feudal elites and legal traditions of neighbouring European states were implemented and distributed in Galytsko-Volynska Russ. The demand of finding new confederates for struggling against Mongols accelerated prince’s European option. The alliance with prince Andrew Yaroslavovytch failed and his brother Olexander chose horde way of state development. Danylo concentrated on eastern neighbors of Russ and started process of family dynastic marriages consolidation because of not getting support for struggling against hordes from Northeastern Ruirikovytchs. Family dynastic factor further strengthened civilizational governmental option’s direction of Ukraine at the period of Russ and provided an opportunity of cultural and political integration into European civilization of those times.
