Hm. That's a tall order and I am by no means an expert. Maybe try Medieval Russia by Janet Martin. It's not heavy on society but focuses more on rulers, dynasties and succession. It has been criticised as portraying that too cleanly. It's an easy read though IMO. However, a large part of it is dedicated to the Mongol and post-Mongol era.
Another one would be Kievan Russia by George Vernadsky. It's a bit dry in places and a bit dated but certainly still works as an overview and the "data" is still valid. With 430 pages it's not exactly "short" though. There is a real cheap used one on offer (linked) so buy it quickly before I do ;)
Finally, I recommend asking r/history or r/askhistorians
