(Русский)Православие — восточная ветвь христианства, ставшая господствующей религией России после крещения Руси Владимиром в 988 году. Русская православная церковь формировала культуру, искусство (иконопись), архитектуру и идентичность страны на протяжении тысячелетий.
English Definition
The Eastern branch of Christianity, which became the dominant religion of Russia after Prince Vladimir baptized Kievan Rus in 988 AD. The Russian Orthodox Church shaped Russian culture, art (icons), architecture (onion-domed churches), and identity for over a millennium. After Soviet atheism suppressed religion, post-1991 Russia has seen a major revival of Orthodoxy. The Church today is closely linked to the Putin government — a form of state religion that reinforces Russian nationalism and conservative values.
Example
“Крещение Руси в 988 году заложило основы православной культуры России.”
In English: “The Baptism of Rus in 988 laid the foundations of Russia's Orthodox culture.”
