Yaroslav "the Wise" brought Kievan Rus to a pinnacle internally and in its
foreign relations; he build a cathedral (Santa Sophia) in Kiev, codified
laws, expanded westward into Poland and defeated the Petchenegs. John L.
LaMonte, "The World of the Middle Ages" (New York: Appleton..., 1949), p.
149, states "...Russia had in the eleventh century a culture and civilization
far superior to that of England, Frank or Western Europe generally...Kiev was
the greatest capital of Christendom after Constantinople."
