Abstract: Abstract Christianity was first introduced to Russia in 988 AD by Vladimir the Great (Chap. 15 ). Before the arrival of Christianity, paganism was common in Russia as well as other Slavic countries. In the eleventh century, Slavic churches were separated from Catholicism, as the influence of the Papacy was seen as too strong by the Eastern leaders. They called their belief “orthodox,” which derived from Greek and meant “correct belief” or “right thinking.” Christian Russian Orthodox is one of several Orthodox denominations. Similar to other forms of Christianity, Orthodoxy postulates that God revealed himself in Jesus Christ and that his crucifixion and resurrection were real events. The Orthodox Church differs from the other Christian Churches in way of life, worship, and in certain aspects of theology.
