Kiev was the capital city of the mighty state of Kievan Rus-Ukraine and the seat of the Ukrainian Orthodox Metropolitanate. It is situated on the banks of the Dnipro River, below the mouth of Desna River. The officially accepted date of the "birth" of Kiev is 482 A.D. According to a widely-known legend, Kiev was founded by three brothers, Kyy, Shchek, Khorev, and their sister Lybid, whose names today are the part of toponomy of Kiev. In 998 Prince Volodymyr introduced Christianity as the official state religion.
