The concept of Moscow - the Third Rome came about under Ivan III. The grounds were as follows: Ivan married the niece of the last Byzantine emperor, the fall of Byzantium (the second Rome), the final fall of the Mongol yoke, the Union of Florence. The first three reasons make Moscow the direct heir of the Roman Empire in political terms.
Florentine union was seen as a betrayal of the truth of the Orthodox faith, so the only carrier of Orthodoxy remained Moscow (sledet remember that at that time the other orthodox churches are in the territory captured by the Muslims). All this soon led to the introduction of the patriarchate.
The common people of the Middle Ages and made simple and logical conclusion: Moscow - the Third Rome. That is so still and repeat periodically.

How did Adolf Hitler's stubborness with a focus on the Eastern Front lead to the downfall of the Third Reich?
The Downfall of the third Reich was a foregone conclusion. The fact is that unless Hitler brought Russia down it would definitely only be a mater of time before he lost the war. So He tried in desperation to beat the Russians the Russian winter ended up being of great assistance to the Russians by destroying Hitlers forces. If Hitler had not headed for Russia the Russians would have come after him so there was not a great deal of choice in the matter for Hitler. It was a catch 22 situation, (you are damned if you do and you are definitely damned if you don't).

Why was kiev called the third Roman empire?
First of all, the term was not Third Roman Empire. It was the Third Rome. Secondly, this term was not applied to the Kievan Rus. It was applied to the Grand Principality of Moscow (or Muscovy) in the time of Ivan III Vasilyevich, the Grand Price of Moscow and "Grand Prince of all Rus."The term Third Rome described the idea that some city, state, or country is the successor to the legacy of ancient Rome (the first Rome) though connection to the Byzantine Empire (the second Rome).The notion of the Third Rome started in Bulgaria under Tsar Ivan Alexander. The renamed his capital Tsarevigrad Tarnov (which was very similar to Tsarigrad, the Slavic for Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire) to bolster the prestige of the Second Bulgarian Empire. Patriarch Callistus I of Constantinople called it "second both in words and deeds after Constantinople."The idea of the Third Rome was taken to Russia by monks who fled Bulgaria after it was taken by the Ottoman Turks. Some orthodox Christians then nominated Moscow as the Third Rome. The Tsar Ivan III of Russia (reigned 1462 -1505), who had married Sophia Paleologue, a niece of Constantine XI, the last Byzantine emperor, claimed that he was the heir of the fallen Byzantine Empire soon after the capture of Constantinople by Ottoman Turks. The Russians saw themselves as the upholders of the religion of this Empire, which had fallen to Muslims. In 1501 a Russian monk, Filofey, wrote an ode to Ivan's successor, Vasili III, in which he said that: "Two Romes have fallen. The third stands. And there will be no fourth. No one shall replace your Christian Tsardom!"The Bulgarians and the Russians, as well as the Serbs and the Romanians were converted to orthodox Christianity by Byzantine missionaries..
