Mr.Hoch's Notes (Yessss.)
Ancient Russia
- The beginnings.
- The early history of Russia, like those of many countries, is one of migrating peoples and ancient kingdoms.
- Early Russia was not exactly Russia, but a group of cities that gradually merged into an empire.
- A group of Scandinavian people (Varangians) crossed the Baltic Sea and landed in Eastern Europe. The leader of the Varangians was the warrior Rurik.
- Rurik
- Served for fifteen years.
- Pagan.
- Beginnings
- By 989, Vladimir I was the ruler of a kingdom that extended to as far as south as the Black Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, and the lower reaches of the Volga River.
- He established a state religion.
- He carefully considered a number of available faiths and decided upon Greek Orthodoxy, thus allying himself with Constantinople and the West.
- He decided against Islam partly because of his belief that his people could not live under a religion that prohibits hard liquor.
