Programme notes: The Christianisation of Russia is considered a significant event in the country's history. Over a period of 1000 years, Christianity became firmly woven into the social, cultural and spiritual fabric of Russia. The Christianisation of Russia began in the 10th century when the Grand Prince Vladimir I of Kiev adopted Christianity as the official religion of his empire. His baptism in 988 and the subsequent conversion of the country to Orthodox Christianity laid the foundation for a deep connection between Russian society and the Christian faith. This event had far-reaching political, cultural and religious effects on the country and its people. The Christianisation of Russia led to a profound cultural and spiritual transformation of the country. The Orthodox Church played a central role in Russian society and contributed to the development of a unique Russian spiritual tradition. The Christian faith influenced Russia's art, architecture, music and literature and shaped the country's cultural heritage to this day. The Russian Orthodox Church became an important institution that shaped the spiritual life and moral values of Russian society. Christianisation created a close link between faith and state. The Russian rulers considered themselves protectors and promoters of the Orthodox Church and used their power to strengthen the influence of Christianity in the country. This connection between church and state shaped Russia's political landscape and led to the emergence of a unique form of Orthodox Christianity, also known as the "symphony of church and state". The Christianisation of Russia played a crucial role in preserving and strengthening Russian national identity. The Christian faith became an integral part of Russia's self-understanding and helped consolidate the country amidst cultural and political challenges. Orthodoxy served as a unifying element for the Russian people and fostered a sense of belonging and national pride. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI)
