Around 987, the pagan Prince Vladimir of Kiev sent envoys to neighbouring lands to find out about other religions. Some say that he rejected Islam because of its ban on alcohol, Judaism because its loss of Jerusalem demonstrated loss of divine support, and finally Catholicism because the Eastern Orthodox churches were more beautiful. Some historians say that Vladimir's real motive was to ally his land with its most powerful neighbours through religion, a decision which led to his adoption of Orthodox Christianity. In any event, Prince Vladimir was baptised into Orthodox Christianity and required the same of all his subjects.

Where did Russian orthodox Christianity begin?
The Eastern Orthodox (EO) Church was begun in Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey) by Constantine of Rome. He ordered that Rome's Religion be changed from paganism to Christianity (at the time there was only gonna be one) He gathered the numerous churches (i.e. Greek, Palestinean, Egyptian, Roman) and sat them down to form the new church traditions. This then became the Orthodox Church. This all occured around 350 AD. Around 1032 AD the Western Churches, (Rome, France, Spain) united and split from the Orthodox church to form a church with one head king. While the orthodox churches each had a king who met in a religious council to decide issues (religious republic). The new church in the west was eventually called the Holy See or Holy Catholic Church. Today Eastern Orthodoxy has spread and incorperated new churches like Brazil, Ethiopia, Kenya, Turkey, Russian, and more. The largest of which is Russian and today Constantiniple (Istanbul)is still the center of the eastern faith.
