Historical evolution of Russia

Russian history originated from Eastern Slavs in the grasslands of Eastern Europe, and mixed-race Russians are the common ancestors of Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians. Kiev Ross was the first country established by Eastern Slavs.

Beginning in 988, the Orthodox Church (the eastern branch of Christianity) was introduced into Kiev from the Byzantine Empire, which initiated the integration of Byzantine and Slavic cultures, and finally formed the Russian culture that will occupy the next 700 years.
