Vladimir the Great
The empire was divided among the prince's three sons, causing dynastic conflicts that were ended in 980, when the youngest son, Vladimir I (see VLADIMIR, SAINT), later known as Vladimir the Great, became sole ruler. The most significant event of his reign was his conversion to Byzantine Christianity in 988 and the institution of that religion as the official religion of the Russian people (see ORTHODOX CHURCH). After casting off his several pagan wives, he married Anne (963-1011), sister of the Byzantine emperor Basil II. From its inception, the Russian Orthodox church differed from its Byzantine parent. Services were given in liturgical Slavonic, and the church enjoyed a large measure of autonomy, even though it remained under the canonical authority of the patriarch of Constantinople and the Russian ruler was in fact its supreme head. Monasteries and churches were built in Byzantine style, however, and Byzantine culture ultimately became the predominant influence in such fields as architecture, art, and music.
