How was the mutual influence of the cultures of the West and the East manifested in Russia?

Russia developed as an original state and gradually absorbed the traditions of the West and the East. In the country, they merged into one whole and existed in different manifestations. After the adoption of Christianity in 988, Russia began to lean towards the east. But at the same time, she did not lose her ties with Western civilizations. There was an exchange of experience between the states. This is especially evident in Russian traditions and culture. Architectural styles were influenced by opposing civilizations and traditional colors.
