Question

write a paragraph in which you explain three ways that the byzantine empire affected the development of russia

Explanation:

The Byzantine Empire influenced Russia in several ways. First, in religion, the Byzantines introduced Orthodox Christianity to Russia. This led to the building of churches in the Byzantine style, like onion - domed structures. Second, in culture, Byzantine literature and art, such as religious icons, were adopted. Third, in governance, the idea of a strong, centralized monarchy (similar to the Byzantine Emperor's rule) influenced early Russian rulers.

Answer:

The Byzantine Empire affected Russia's development through religion (introducing Orthodox Christianity), culture (adoption of Byzantine art and literature), and governance (influence on the concept of centralized monarchy).
