Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The article is devoted to the history of relations between the Khazar Kaganate and the Byzantine Empire in the IX-X centuries. Particular attention is paid to the influence of the religious factor on relations between the two states. The author analyzes the dynamics of the development of bilateral relations. At the turn of the VIII-IX centuries the Arab-Khazar have been halted, the Muslim trade in Eastern Europe has been boosted, and the Khazar ruling elite accepts Judaism. In the reign of the Amorian dynasty (820-867) in Byzantium the friendly relations of the empire with Khazaria remained, which is confirmed by the construction of the Sarkel fortress and other military-political actions. However, with the arrival of the emperors of the Macedonian dynasty (867-1056) on the Byzantine throne, the relations between the two states begin to deteriorate. Byzantium intensifies missionary activities in Eastern Europe, spreading its political influence. Byzantine diplomats have repeatedly initiated the military speeches of various tribes and state formations of Eastern Europe against the Khazar influence. Of particular importance to Byzantium is an alliance with Kievan Rus. In the 60's of the X century the confrontation between Rus and the Khazar Khaganate led to the latter’s fall.
