Kievan Rus’ is the first state to arise among the Eastern Slavs. It took its name from the city of Kyiv, now the capital of Ukraine. 

The proto-Russian tribes lived on the lands that constituted Kievan Rus’. The original inhabitants of contemporary Ukraine fled north under pressure from the Mongols, and later became the modern Russian nation.

The fact that Russia originated from Ukraine keeps damaging self-esteem of Russians. 
So in 2014, when Russian world was “rising from its knees”, Russians started to create alternative reality and renamed Kievan Rus’ into “Ancient Russian State” in Russian Wikipedia. 
Now Kievan Rus’ is called Kievan Rus’ in all languages of the world except for Russian.
