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.
