The following list includes people canonised as saints by the Metropolis of Kiev and all Rus' saints from the 9th century until the 15th century, when the 15th–16th century Moscow–Constantinople schism occurred. Most of these are Russians in the most different sense[clarification needed], while others are essential and important[according to whom?] people in Russian history. The period in which the saint was canonized is listed in the Number (#) column. The Portrait column typically illustrates the saint on icons or frescos, next to it are the name of the saint and his title, repeated just below in Russian. The following column describes in abbreviated form the saint's life and legacy. Name dates are listed in both old and new style dates, following a more precise date description. The Canonization column may list both local and church-wide canonizations; a question mark means an unknown date, but definite canonization, and a simple date without the type of canonization in brackets means a doubtful type of canonization.

  1. Translation of the relics, by the order of Elizabeth I
  2. From 1221 February 1677 Patriarch Joachim ordered to investigate the sainthood of Anna of Kashin, particularly the fact of healing from her relics; her following de-canonization was supported by the 16781679 Councils, but services were allowed. Thirteen errors were found in documents like her Lives of Saints, including her supposed ancestry from "glorious boyars". However, local honourings of Anna of Kashin did not stop, and several healings were recorded.
  3. On 7 November 1908, the Most Holy Synod recovered her church-wide canonization.
