Led by Dr. Oleksiy Tolochko (Director of the Center for Kyivan Rus鈥� Studies at the Institute of Ukrainian History, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine),听this听workshop explored the fundamental premise of medieval Slavonic Studies that the Kyivan polity emerged and initially developed in competition and in confrontation with the Khazar Khanate.

Using contemporaneous sources, the workshop considered听the nature of the Rus鈥�-Khazar relationship and the root of the historiographical myth of Khazar domination of the听Rus鈥� put forth in the Primary Chronicle.
