It discusses the significant role of religious texts and the works of early chroniclers like Nestor, who docu mented the history and customs of earlyRus. Additionally, ithighlightsthe rich oral traditions that existed prior to written literature, such as folk tales and epic songs, which laid the groundwork for later literary forms. This early section emphasizes the interconnectedness of literature, religion, and culture in shaping the identity of Russia throughout its history In the year 988, Vladimir, Grand Prince of Kieff, accepted Christianity for himself and his nation, from Byzantium, and baptized Russia wholesale. Hencehischaracteristic titleinhistory,"Prince-Saint-equal-to-the-Apostles." His grandmother, Olga, had already been converted to the Greek Church late in life, and hadestablished churchesandpriestsinKieff, itis said. Prince Vladimir could have been baptized at home, but he preferred to make the Greek form of Christianity his state religion in a more decided manner; to adopt the gospel of peace to an accompaniment of martial deeds. Accord ingly he compelled the Emperors of Byzantium, by force, to send the Patri arch of Constantinople to baptize him, and their sister to become his wife. He then ordered his subjects to present themselves forthwith for baptism. Finding that their idols did not punish Vladimir for destroying them, and that even great Perun the Thunderer did not resent being flung into the Dniepr, the people quietly and promptly obeyed. As their old religion had notemplesforthemto clingto, andnothingapproachingapriestlyclass(ex cept the volkhvye, or wizards) to encourage them in opposition, the nation became Christian in a day, to all appearances. We shall see, however, that in many cases, as in other lands converted from heathendom, the old gods were merely baptized with new names, in company with their worshipers.
