Question 6 • *KCPS World History (2027)

Because the Byzantine Empire was largely Greek in language and culture, what was the biggest influence of Byzantine/Greek culture on Russia?

Answer
A
the language
B
sculpture
C
the alphabet
D
architecture

Explanation

The Byzantine Empire helped spread Christianity and Greek learning to the Slavic peoples. Missionaries adapted Greek letters to create an alphabet for Slavic languages, which became the basis of the Cyrillic alphabet used in Russia. So the biggest influence listed is the alphabet, not Greek itself becoming Russia’s language.
