About this listen
In 988 AD, thousands of people in Kievan Rus plunged into the Dnieper River — not to cool off, but to be baptized. That moment marked the birth of Eastern Orthodoxy in Russia, a faith that would shape the nation’s soul, politics, and destiny for over a thousand years. In this episode, David Clark explores why Prince Vladimir chose Orthodoxy over other religions, how it unified the early Russian state, and how it planted the seeds of Russia’s conservatism, expansionism, and the powerful idea of being the “Third Rome.”
