of Kiev.

Background

Origins

According to a founding myth in the Primary Chronicle, Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv and their sister Lybid co-founded the city of Kiev (Kyiv), and the oldest brother Kyi was "chief of his kin" . Some western historians (i.e., Kevin Alan Brook) suppose that Kiev was founded by the Khazars or Magyars.
