Poroshenko: the Code of laws of Kievan Rus has no relation to Russia
President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko called "Russian Truth" - the first set of laws of Kievan Rus - "one of the oldest documents of justice in Ukraine" and said that it "has no relation" to Russia.
This speech Poroshenko commented on the Russian senator Alexei Pushkov, who called the statement of the President of Ukraine that the law set "Russian Truth" has no relation to Russia, a new attempt by Kiev to ascribe to itself a great history.
"Russian Truth" is a monument to the legislation of the XI-XII centuries, it is considered the earliest of the remaining code of legal norms of early medieval Russia.
