The first Christian missionaries to travel up the Volga into the land of the Rus, what would become Russia, were Greek Orthodox priests. The man now known as Saint Cyril was one of them. He invented the Cyrilic alphabet, basing it on the Greek alphabet and adding letters from both the Roman and Hebrew alphabets to make the sounds needed for the Slavic languages, and then he translated The Bible into what we now call Old Church Slavonic. That was the foundation for Russian literature, and the foundation of the Russian Orthodox Church.
