What form of Christianity did missionaries bring to Russia?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

AnswerChristianity was not really brought to Russia by missionaries. In the late tenth century, Vladimir, the prince of Kiev, invited emissaries from the Western Church, Byzantine Church and Judaism, to establish which religion it would be most advantageous for him to adopt. He adopted Byzantine Christianity and ordered the mass baptism of Russians.
