An ancient legend says that Kiev was founded by three brothers: Kyi, Schek and Khoryv approximately in the V century and since that time it has been considered to be the main cultural, religious and political center of the East Slavic civilization. The city is still called "Mother of Russian cities" because of its historical importance as a center of Kievan Rus from IX to XII century.
