At its greatest extent in the mid-11th century, it stretched from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from the headwaters of the Vistula in the west to the Taman Peninsula in the east, uniting the majority of East Slavic tribes.
Kievan Rus' begins with the rule (882–912) of Prince Oleg, who extended his control from Novgorod south along the Dnieper river valley in order to protect trade from Khazar incursions from the east and moved his capital to the more strategic Kiev. Sviatoslav I (died 972) achieved the first major expansion of Kievan Rus' territorial control, fighting a war of conquest against the Khazar Empire. Vladimir the Great (980–1015) introduced Christianity with his own baptism and, by decree, that of all the inhabitants of Kiev and beyond. Kievan Rus' reached its greatest extent under Yaroslav I (1019–1054); his sons assembled and issued its first written legal code, the Rus' Justice, shortly after his death.
The Christianization of Kievan Rus' took place in several stages. In early 867, Patriarch Photius of Constantinople announced to other Orthodox patriarchs that the Rus', baptised by his bishop, took to Christianity with particular enthusiasm. Photius's attempts at Christianizing the country seem to have entailed no lasting consequences, since the Primary Chronicle and other Slavonic sources describe the tenth-century Rus' as firmly entrenched in paganism. Following the Primary Chronicle, the definitive Christianization of Kievan Rus' dates from the year 988 (the year is disputed), when Vladimir the Great was baptized in Chersonesus and proceeded to baptize his family and people in Kiev. The latter events are traditionally referred to as baptism of Rus' (Russian:Крещение Руси, Ukrainian:Хрещення Русі) in Russian and Ukrainian literature.
Prehistory
According to the Church Tradition, Christianity was first brought to the territory of modern Belarus, Russia and Ukraine by Saint Andrew, the first Apostle of Jesus Christ. He traveled over the Black Sea to the Greek colony of Chersonesus Taurica in Crimea, where he converted several thousand men to new faith. Allegedly Saint Andrew traveled also north along the Dnieper River, where Kiev would be founded around the 5th century, and as far north as the future location of Veliky Novgorod. The legendary account of the Russian Primary Chronicle tells that Saint Andrew was amused by the Slavic customs of washing in hot steam bath, banya, on his way.

Why Did Russia Chose Christianity Over Islam? #funfacts
In the late 980's, Vladimir the Great faced a pivotal decision that would forever shape the destiny of Russia. This intriguing historical tale delves into the choice he made between Christianity and Islam, a choice that involved the very essence of Rus' celebrations – alcohol.
Vladimir's choice to Christianize Russia instead of Islamizing it was no ordinary decision. It was a choice driven by the deep-rooted love for festivities and the unity it brought to the Rus' people. The famous quote, "Drinking is the joy of the Rus', we can't go without it," encapsulates the heart of the matter.

In the late 980's, Vladimir the Great faced a pivotal decision that would forever shape the destiny of Russia. This intriguing historical tale delves into the choice he made between Christianity and Islam, a choice that involved the very essence of Rus' celebrations – alcohol.
Vladimir's choice to Christianize Russia instead of Islamizing it was no ordinary decision. It was a choice driven by the deep-rooted love for festivities and the unity it brought to the Rus' people. The famous quote, "Drinking is the joy of the Rus', we can't go without it," encapsulates the heart of the matter.
As we explore this pivotal moment, we dive into the clash between the Rus' party spirit and the Islamic prohibition on alcohol. The Rus' people's attachment to celebration was undeniable, and Vladimir recognized the importance of preserving this tradition. This video delves into the thought process that led to his groundbreaking decision.
By Christianizing the nation, he found a way to blend spirituality and merriment, creating a unique synthesis that defined Russia's path forward.

Russia, no doubt, is a country with a rich history. There are many glorious and heroic events. Of course there are disputable moments too. Let’s try to mention the main stages in development of the Russian state and have a look at the brightest historical events. Before the formation of Kiev Russia there lived several Slavonic peoples. Their religion was paganism. Russia became Christian in 988. Christianity acceptance in Russia is connected with the rule of Valdimir Sviatoslavich who had chosen it among the existing religions of that period.

Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series on the history of Kievan Rus continues with an episode on the reign of Yaroslav the Wise who ushered the Golden age of the Kievan Rus. With his death, the Rus realm was divided into numerous princedoms, which became an important factor prior to the arrival of the Mongols led by Subutai and Jebe.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Christianization of Kievan Rus' took place in several stages. In early 867, Patriarch Photius of Constantinople announced to other Orthodox patriarchs that the Rus', baptised by his bishop, took to Christianity with particular enthusiasm. Photius's attempts at Christianizing the country seem to have entailed no lasting consequences, since the Primary Chronicle and other Slavonic sources describe the tenth-century Rus' as firmly entrenched in paganism. Following the Primary Chronicle, the definitive Christianization of Kievan Rus' dates from the year 988 (the year is disputed), when Vladimir the Great was baptized in Chersonesus and proceeded to baptize his family and people in Kiev. The latter events are traditionally referred to as baptism of Rus' (Russian: Крещение Руси, Ukrainian: Хрещення Русі) in Russian and Ukrainian literature.

In the late 980's, Vladimir the Great faced a pivotal decision that would forever shape the destiny of Russia. This intriguing historical tale delves into the choice he made between Christianity and Islam, a choice that involved the very essence of Rus' celebrations – alcohol.
Vladimir's choice to Christianize Russia instead of Islamizing it was no ordinary decision. It was a choice driven by the deep-rooted love for festivities and the unity it brought to the Rus' people. The famous quote, "Drinking is the joy of the Rus', we can't go without it," encapsulates the heart of the matter.
As we explore this pivotal moment, we dive into the clash between the Rus' party spirit and the Islamic prohibition on alcohol. The Rus' people's attachment to celebration was undeniable, and Vladimir recognized the importance of preserving this tradition. This video delves into the thought process that led to his groundbreaking decision.
By Christianizing the nation, he found a way to blend spirituality and merriment, creating a unique synthesis that defined Russia's path forward.

At its greatest extent in the mid-11th century, it stretched from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from the headwaters of the Vistula in the west to the Taman Peninsula in the east, uniting the majority of East Slavic tribes.
Kievan Rus' begins with the rule (882–912) of Prince Oleg, who extended his control from Novgorod south along the Dnieper river valley in order to protect trade from Khazar incursions from the east and moved his capital to the more strategic Kiev. Sviatoslav I (died 972) achieved the first major expansion of Kievan Rus' territorial control, fighting a war of conquest against the Khazar Empire. Vladimir the Great (980–1015) introduced Christianity with his own baptism and, by decree, that of all the inhabitants of Kiev and beyond. Kievan Rus' reached its greatest extent under Yaroslav I (1019–1054); his sons assembled and issued its first written legal code, the Rus' Justice, shortly after his death.
