Answer: Orthodoxy.

Explanation:

The direct consequence of the influence of the Byzantine Empire on Russia, which is still evident today, is religion. The missionary work of Byzantine priests on the Slavic peoples resulted in the acceptance of Orthodoxy.

Many Slavic peoples have received Orthodoxy, and Russians are no exception. The Byzantine influence in the eastern part of Europe was enormous and has increased over time.
