which group ended the period of kievan rus dominance?
mongol invasion
after the baptism of rus' these lands were under the control of the metropolitan of kiev. among the 24 metropolitans who held the throne before the mongol invasion, only two were of local origin and the rest were greek. usually, they were appointed by constantinople and were not chosen by the bishops of their dioceses, as it should be done according to the canon. after the mongol invasion, the southern part of rus' was heavily devastated and the disintegration of kievan rus' accelerated. metropolitan kirill iii, who occupied the throne for 30 years, spent almost all of his time in the lands of vladimir-suzdal rus' and visited kiev only twice, although earlier he had come from galicia and had been nominated for the post of metropolitan by the prince daniel of galicia. after the new mongol raid in 1299, metropolitan maksim finally moved to vladimir in the north, and did not even leave a bishop behind. in 1303 a new cathedra was created for south-west rus' in galicia and the new metropolitan was consecrated by constantinople, but its existence ended in 1355 after the galicia–volhynia wars. in 1325, metropolitan peter moved to moscow, thus greatly contributing to the rise of the grand duchy of moscow, which gradually conquered other russian principalities in the northeast of the former kievan rus'. another part of kievan rus' gradually came under the rule of the grand duchy of lithuania and the kingdom of poland, which entered into rivalry with moscow. in particular, the grand dukes of lithuania sought from constantinople a separate metropolitan for the orthodox who lived in their lands. although the metropolitan in moscow continued to retain the title of "metropolitan of kiev and all rus'", he could not rule the orthodox outside the borders of the grand duchy of moscow. constantinople twice agreed to create a separate metropolitan for lithuania, but these decisions were not permanent, constantinople being inclined to maintain a single church government on the lands of the former kievan rus'.
