Byzantium & the Slavs Paperback – January 5, 1994
Purchase options and add-ons
The essays which comprise this book aim to identify and discuss some salient features of the Byzantine Commonwealth. One of its more prominent member-states is known today as Russia. On two occasions, once in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and again in the fourteenth and fifteenth, Byzantium exerted a formative influence on the society and culture of Rus'. Unless this influence is properly appreciated and understood, much in Russia's history will remain unintelligible.

The use of Greek Orthodox missionaries to convert those peoples led to a great influence by the patriarchs in Constantinople over the Dukedom of Moscow, and an enduring imprint on Russian culture and language.
We see many struggles with the Ottomans, which would ultimately lead to the downfall of Byzantium. But its legacy lived on in the Slavic realms. The book should also help you appreciate why Moscow traditionally called itself the Third Rome. Constantinople was the Second Rome. And when it fell, many refugees fled to Moscow, which then took upon itself to assume that mantle.
