PI AI:

The history of Russia is a long and complex one, with roots that go back to the 9th century. However, the modern Russian state is generally considered to have been founded in the year 862, when Rurik, a Varangian chieftain, established a dynasty in the region of Novgorod. Rurik and his descendants gradually expanded their territory and consolidated their power, eventually uniting the various Slavic tribes into a single state known as Kievan Rus’. This state, which was centered around the city of Kiev, is considered the forerunner of modern Russia. Over the centuries, Russia evolved and changed, with the Mongols invading in the 13th century, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow becoming the dominant power in the region in the 14th and 15th centuries. The Russian Empire was officially proclaimed in 1721, and the modern Russian Federation was established in 1991 after the fall of the Soviet Union.
