Abstract

The article by Stefan Kozak is devoted to the beginnings of the rooting of Christianity within culture of Kievan Rus. This early stage was very important for the subject of the article and makes the starting point for tracing its continuity in the next historical and cultural epochs. In a concise way the author presents the most important old-Russian Christian roots of Ukrainian culture, including the sources essential to the shaping of tradition of Christianitas in Ukraine, while a component of its success was the very development of culture itself. The author emphasizes the fact that through the centuries the Ecclesia semper reformanda set directions for the development of literature, culture and arts.
