What peoples were influenced by ancient Russian culture? and to a greater extent?

During its development, Old Russian culture absorbed both elements of the Western and Eastern traditions. The culture of the West means the neighboring Baltic and West Slavic tribes. The eastern direction included a clash with nomadic tribes and their great influence on the military culture of certain regions of Russia. The adoption of Christianity from Byzantium had a separate influence on the culture of Rus. Since then, the culture of this empire began to exert a great influence, especially in the spiritual culture. In the 13th century, after the invasion of the Mongol hordes, the political culture of the northeastern regions of Russia gradually began to form under the influence of the Golden Horde.
