Centers of Rus at various times were Vladimir, Susdal, Novgorod, Tver (russian cities).
these cities never were the center of Kyivan Rus'
Kyiv always was center and capital of Kyivan Rus'
Chernigiv was the second on meaningfulness city of Kyivan Rus'. The prince of Chernigiv was the heir of grand duke
of Kyiv.
Volodymyr named itself rusych but not Russian As well as a Julius the caesar did not call to itself an Italian but Roman
