Max_the_Highlander is an unknown quantity at this point
I don't understand what are you talking about. I never heard about Kyivan Rus and any "Ruthenia" together in historic context... now that sounds really odd.

Political center of Slav life was for a period in Halych, later it came to North, to Vladimir, later to Moskow... but that was many centuries after the "Age of great Kyivan Princes".

In period of Volodymyr and Yaroslaw there was not any "Ruthenia"... and later too, actually.

As about Wikies of all kinds (Wiki is technology, it's not particular site) so they are entertainment source as maximum because no one attests them and writers are hidden under alises so you even don't know who wrote that rot.

I prefer to read books of real scientists, former and modern, if I need to get clues.
