Kiev suffered in the 13th century economically since the trade with Byzantium was cut off until 1276. 1327, Constantinople fell after a long siege to the Rum-Seljuks, effectively defeated by the hunger. Many Byzantines fled, some even to Kiev. They arrived 1328 in Russia, settled mostly in Kiev. The city suffered under the loss of trade with Byzantium (it wasn't much left after the resurrection of the Byzantine Empire), but gained importance as a cultural center, thanks to the influx of Byzantine scholars. Later, when a Kievan prince married a Byzantine noblewoman, and founded schools and libraries to plead her, this would become even more apparent.

Many Byzantines fled, some even to Kiev. They arrived 1328 in Russia, settled mostly in Kiev.

Later, when a Kievan prince married a Byzantine noblewoman, and founded schools and libraries to plead her, this would become even more apparent. In an alliance with Hungary, the Teutonic Order conquered the princedom of Halicz-Volhyn in 1375, which was divided between them. The Teutonic part became object of German immigration and germanization too, and later formed the province of Wolhynien. Some Volhynians fled to Kiev, which gained in importance by their influx.
