The many sieges of Kyiv and twists and turns of history
India TodayBe careful, king of kings. After the attack of the German Wehrmacht on the Soviet Union on the 22nd of June in 1941, Kyiv was conquered in September 1941 under the alias "Operation Barbarossa". The aftermath of the invasion led to breakup of Kievan Rus in the 13th century into three separate nations: modern-day Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, and subsequently the rise of the Grand Duchy in 1480 eventually becoming the Tsardom of Russia in1547 which lasted unto the World War-I in which Russians took part but an autocratically ruled and impoverished Russia fared poorly. The first battle raged under what was called Kyiv Defensive Operation by the Soviet’s Red Army. Soviet Russia endured two years of German occupation up until the Second Battle of Kyiv was launched by Stalin’s Red Army.
