These princes were strong men. They wanted power, They strove to enlarge their territories at the expense of their rivals. The tradi tional authority of the grand prince declined. Yaroslav the Great was the last of the grand princes. With his death In 1054, family feuds multiplied and disintegration set In. During the next 170 years, from 1054 to 1224. iussia was split into over sixty prin. Apalities. Disputes over the question of succession led to elghty-three civil wars, Ruined by Internal Struggle. During these interminable struggles of rival princes, Kiev, which had been so long the residence of the grand prince, was repeatedly taken by storm, and ruthlessly pillaged.

Thereupon Russian colonization and political influence retreated north- ward, and from that time the contin. uous stream of Russign history Is to be sought in the land where the Vikings first settled, and in the adjoin- Ing basin of the upper Volga.
