George of Kiev
George (Георгий in Russian, died 1079) was an Eastern Orthodox Metropolitan of Kiev and all Rus',[1] serving from 1069[2] to 1073.[3]
George was the seventh Byzantine church leader in Kievan Rus,[1] and he arrived to what is now Ukraine around 1062.[1] Because George would not recognize the sanctity of the local martyrs, four years after his appointment he returned to Byzantium.[2]
Metropolitan George is the author of polemical work "Struggle with the Latin Church" (Stiazanie s latinoiu)[1][3] in relation to the 1054 East–West Schism
