In 1299, Maximus (of Greek origin), the Metropolitan of Kiev and all Rus', eventually moved the seat of the Metropolitanate from Kiev to Vladimir on the Klyazma, keeping the title. Since 1320, the city was the site of a new Catholic bishopric, when Henry, a Dominican friar, was appointed the first missionary Bishop of Kyiv. [28]
Although a record high, the decline in activity was 1.6 percentage points smaller than that for the country as a whole. [123] The economy in Kyiv, as in the rest of Ukraine, recovered somewhat in 2010 and 2011.

Metropolitan Jonah, who died in 1461, was the last metropolitan in Moscow to hold the title of "Kiev and All Rus." The title of his successor at the department already included "Moscow and all of Rus." The Moscow metropolis was in an unrecognized state until its transformation into the Moscow patriarchate in 1589, i.e. 141 years.
By doing so, he eliminated his rival, allowed the Russian Orthodox Church to move its headquarters to Moscow, and was granted the title of Grand Prince by the Mongols. [22] [23] As such, the Muscovite prince became the chief intermediary between the Mongol overlords and the Russian princes, which paid further dividends for Moscow's rulers. [23]
Kiev remained the core of the country and was the centre of spiritual life with the office of the Metropolitan of the Eastern Orthodox Church in Kiev. Following the death of Mstislav I of Kiev in 1132, the semi-autonomous states were de facto independent and so led to the emergence of the Principality of Kiev as a separate state.
Furthermore, the Metropolitan of Kiev and all Rus'—Peter of Moscow—moved the seat of the metropolis to Moscow. [12] The lack of a metropolitan bishop for the inhabitants of the Grand Principality impeded the development of the idea of a single Lithuanian state that was being advanced by the ruling family.
