Zbyszek, believe me, if you mean the show so it's democratic process... This is pure popularity as it is. People voted, people got it. Just supported and selected figures are in the list. Everything is clear, the will of people is supreme even if it is TV show.

As about your researches of ancient-Rus history, I'd like to cite the Nestor:

"Volodymyr... turned up the soil that is lightened us by Christianity. And his son Yaroslaw sowed that soil with book words and now we reap, accept the book science by the heart. There is big benefit from book studies. Books are like rivers which fill the entire World; they are the origin of wisdom, there is fathomless depth in books... you will find the great consolation and great use for your soul in books because those ones who often read books talk with God and with the wisest men."

The Chronicle Of Past Years, the end of 11 - beginning of 12 centuries.

Strange but words written in 12 century seem to be very actual now, in 21 century.
