Part of the Byzantine Empire was in the southern part of Eastern Europe, in the Balkan Peninsula (the states of the former Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania and Greece. The Byzantines lost most of this area due to Slav invasions, primarily the Bulgars and the Croats.
Russia did not exist back then. The most important state in that area was the Kievan Rus, centred on the city of Kiev in Ukraine. The Kievan Rus and the Byzantines developed a trading relationship. Goods were transported across the Black Sea. The increasingly powerful Rus attacked the empire and even Constantinople several times. Their relationship improved with a marriage between the daughter of an emperor and Vladimir the great. The Byzantines also promoted conversion to Orthodox Christianity. However, attacks on the empire still occurred at times, as the Rus tried to compete with the Byzantines as a power.
