Christianity and the Eastern Slavs, Volume IEdition 1

This publication in three volumes originated in papers delivered at two conferences held in May 1988 at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies in Washington, DC. Like many other conferences organized that year in the United States, Europe, and the Soviet Union, they were convened to commemorate the millennium of the acceptance of Christianity in Rus'. This collection of essays throws light on the enormous, truly unique role that the Christian tradition has played throughout the centuries in shaping the nations that spring from Kievan Rus'—the Russians, Ukrainians, and Belorussians. Although these volumes devote greater attention to Russian culture, the investigation of the issue in the history of Christianity in Ukrainian and Belorussian cultures occupies an important and integral part of the project.   Volume I Slavic Cultures in the Middle Ages Edited by Boris Gasparov and Olga Raevsky-Hughes   Volume II Russian Culture in Modern Times Edited by Robert P. Hughes and Irina Paperno   Volume III Russian Literature in Modern Times Edited by Boris Gasparov, Robert P. Hughes, Irina Paperno, and Olga Raevsky-Hughes   This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
