When Ivan I became a ruler of Moscow, Rus had already been conquered by Mongols for 80 years.

Kiev lost its political importance long before Mongols, when Andrey Bogolyubsky of Vladimir-Suzdal captured Kiev in 1149 and just went back home instead of staying to rule there. He later led the sack of Kiev in 1169, ending the Kievan Rus period.
