Influence of Byzantium on the Slavic people?

The Byzantine Empire is a Christian civilization. She influenced Russia before the collapse. Byzantium became the standard of social relations and spiritual life. It was from her that Vladimir adopted Orthodoxy. On the model of Byzantine temples, similar ones were built in Russia. In the economic sphere, Byzantium became a reliable partner in trade and military affairs. Russian merchants flocked to the empire and exchanged goods. She was plundered more than once by the Russians, but she continued to cooperate with the Slavs until the collapse.
