Russia's State religion is Russian Orthodox, modelled on Greek Orthodox.
Vladimir the Great dispatched emissaries to different parts of the world to assess the religions of neighbouring empires.
In 988 AD, one of the emissaries reported back favourably on the Byzantine Church, which already had a presence in Kievan Russia. It was thought at the time, that Islam or Catholicism would stifle the Russian culture and way of life.
Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius had already translated parts of The Bible into a form of the Russian language during the 860's AD.
Russia has a very diverse ethnic population and many religions are currently practiced.
