Medieval History
Russia is marking for the first time in its history the Day of Baptizing of Kievan Rus ? a new ?commemorative date? that has been established to commemorate the Grand Duke Vladimir, who adopted Eastern Orthodox Christianity as the official religion of the early medieval duchy of Rus.
?The establishing of the Christian faith in the olden Rus helped promote the consolidation and flourishing of the state and exerted a great influence on the maintenance of Russia?s unity at knotty periods of history,? members of the upper house of Russian parliament said in their decision as they added July 28 to the list of commemorative dates.
