The history of Russia has more than a thousand years, beginning with the resettlement of the Eastern Slavs on the East European (Russian) plain in the VI-VII centuries, subsequently divided into Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians. The history of the country can be divided into approximately seven periods: the oldest (pre-state) (until the end of the 9th century A.D.), Kievan Rus (the Old Russian state) (until the middle of the 12th century), the period of fragmentation (until the beginning of the 16th century), a single state (from The kingdom of 1547) (end of the 15th century — 1721), empire (1721–1917), the Soviet period (1917–1991) and modern history (since 1991).
