Between the Latin West and the Christian East : Once Again to the Christianisation of Rus' Christianization
2019
Abstrakt
Christianization of the Rus' is a subject of many existing articles and monographs. This article however deals it again from a somewhat untraditional perspective.
It stresses the possible influence not only the center of Eastern Christianity, the Byzantine Empire, but also the centers representing the Western Christianity, that is, the Roman Empire and the Papacy had on this process. At the same time, a certain parallel between the events surrounding the Cyril and Methodius's mission, the acceptance of Christianity in Bulgary and the Christianization of the Rus' is pointed out.
