Martyrdom in early Christian Rus’

Journal Title: Historia Slavorum Occidentis - Year 2018, Vol 18, Issue 3

Abstract

The author hypothesizes that the corpses of Bruno of Querfurt (+1009) and his companions were buried among the Rus‘, possibly in Svyatopolk’s city of Turov. Such burial and cult could have influenced both the placing of the tomb of Vladimir and decorations of the St. Sophia church.
