In modern terms, yes. But there was a Middle Ages kingdom of the princes of Kyiv who ruled an ethnically and linguistically distinct area, that just for centuries was passed around and broken up between various other countries, in modern terms Russia, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, and Czechoslovakia.
